The final comments were “If the State of Fl feels that I am a threat and require life long surveillance, then I am to be considered untrustworthy and therefore denied my clearance. Thst statement cost me a 80K a year job. I am now working for 10.00 an hour and hoping to keep it. 16 years without a parking ticket and where does it end?

If Jacksonville’s ordinance isn’t punishment, what is it? It deprives a registered citizen of the pursuit of life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness- an unalienable right according to the declaration of independence. It also chills free speech and interferes with freedom of religion.

I know what you mean my attorney pushed a plea deal. The states laws are so broad, in my case I didnt even have intercourse just kissing on neck and breast with a consenting adult and I have to register for 25 years and have a felony.

There are too many Attorneys looking for a quick buck, whom may talk a good game but the defendant takes a plea cause the Attourney wants to fire sale your case and not be associated with your case or perhaps it will hurt his reputation. Thats my belief in where my case went wront, an unscrupulouos attorney.

Like any field of work, there are good and bad apples. My feeling is we are plagued with bad apples who do us no good but harm.

Well, wet earth but same thing. God don’t like the injustices of it either!
