How can Facebook ban me and disable my account when in my case and plea bargain adjudication was withheld (no conviction) but yet due to the plea bargain I&#039;m still required to register. Due to this registration Florida reports is to Facebook, which bans/disabled my FB account? It clearly says on my registration page and all my paperwork adjudication withheld. Not to mention most of my right was restored upon completing my Probation.]]></description>

Its usually because you have a Charge and haven&#039;t yet been found guilty of the crime. Like if you were released from jail on bond or Own Recognisence for a case that&#039;s still going on, they give you &quot;rules&quot; to follow similar to probation/parole/MSR rules you have when released from prison. 
If you don&#039;t follow such arbitrary rules you can be sent back. again these are rules, NOT laws but can make you return to jail or prison by violating them. in some cases they can &quot;enhance&quot; your sentence since usually you&#039;re only doing a certain percentage of your actual sentence (25%, 50% etc.) say your sentence is 6yrs at 50% ( you will do 3yrs) you can violate a &quot;rule&quot; and they can add on days or the rest of your percentage and make you do a lot more time. and never ONCE commit another crime. sounds dirty no? I know because I went through this personally.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Is it not written &quot;A personal injury does not receive satisfaction from a future course of proceeding.&quot;?

again is it not written &quot;Wrong is wiped out by reconciliation.&quot;?

again &quot;Any one may renounce a law introduced for his own benefit.&quot;?

and again &quot;No man is bound to have foreknowledge of a Divine or a future event.?

Having said that How can the &quot;law being applied&quot; not be a proceeding against man when it&#039;s being applied post conviction for sake of &quot;public safety&quot;? Has any law ever prevented a crime?

Many people on the registry have made amends and reconciled with their the ones they harmed. (I do not refer to them as victims) There are many who even live in the same house with one another. having said that, what business is it of someone (society) who has nothing to do with the act itself? (busybodies)

Is it also not true man made the law and within him he has the same power that he created the law to renounce the law?

Also with respect to &quot;divine or future event&quot; this brings the impossible to the forefront with someone &quot;making laws&quot; (code) to prevent a &quot;future or divine event&quot;. Is this even possible?

Is man even subject to the &quot;codes&quot; written for &quot;persons&quot;? (&quot;corporate body or corporation having legal rights,&quot;)

You can also say in a lot of cases, &quot;They&#039;ll keep doing it as long as people keep allowing them.&quot; Because much of their illegal behavior can be stopped just by people refusing to allow it. If that is not enough, a judge can tell them.

A few examples of that are:


Asking for more information or personal details than is required by law.
&quot;Compliance checks&quot;.
Leaving notes at a person&#039;s home or work and asking that the person contact them.
Asking a person where they have been or are going. The issue with that is that a person will tell them if it is required by law. Other than that, it should never be discussed.

&quot;I cannot believe that we still deal with these over-reaching actions from officials who think they can do whatever.&quot;

Like Larry says on the Registry Matters podcast (well worth the subscription!): &quot;They&#039;ll keep doing it until a judge tells them they can&#039;t.&quot;

Then they&#039;ll enact new legislation to try to find a way around the judge&#039;s ruling while the state attorney general appeals.]]></description>

Agreed, Bill. News broadcasts and articles (sometimes to a lesser extent) focus on ENTERTAINMENT, not so much on accurate information.

Most of them are from &lt;em&gt;companies&lt;/em&gt; that care more about their ratings or revenue. Society will always be on the losing end of that story.]]></description>

I agree. This does seem similar to the yard sign cases, especially with the US Supreme Court&#039;s strong determination that internet is a First Amendment &quot;protected space&quot; (in Packingham).

*As to yard signs, a Federal Judge also deemed in October 2019 that a Georgia sheriff posting signs on registrants&#039; yards for Halloween 2018 was unconstitutional.

Unfortunately, this is &lt;em&gt;often&lt;/em&gt; the issue with unjust laws. Social outcasts don&#039;t have the same resources to fight them.

It would help if these ridiculous laws were met with more scrutiny from the beginning!]]></description>

I concur with you. These  &quot;umbrella&quot; site/app terms are unfair. They inaccurately imply a danger from a group of persons who already paid their dues to society via punishment. Many are also non-violent and non-recidivists (studies consistently show only 3-5% recidivism). They are not all &quot;kiddy fiddlers&quot; or even &quot;rapists&quot;.

More importantly, they are PEOPLE who want to turn their mistakes around and lead  good and lawful lives. There are already so many difficulties with assimilating back into society for any convicted.  But sex offenders are singled-out.]]></description>

We have lost touch with the fact that we fought against the king in 1776 we were supposed to change from their ways of punishment! The facts that sex offenders free of crime for 1year are the lowest repeat offenders and those that do reoffend are not sex crimes, the sex offender re offending rate is lower than the never been in trouble at all citizen, you are more likely to be a victim of a non-criminal citizen than a sex offender.!!!!]]></description>
