Since it seems there is not enough interest in the Out of state challenge as it is NOT being funded can someone suggest an attorney in Florida who would be willing to take on the case simply for the press it would generate for them?

Perhaps just for the challenge of taking on the system and winning for those oppressed citizens being bullies by the state government.

I am perfectly willing to be represented and not simply as John Doe but as an actually flesh and blood individual American citizen who wants to force Florida to do the right thing and let those who no longer want or have any association with the sunshine state to be allowed to move on!

Please email any information or contact me at the following address: admin@sexoffendertruth.com – Thank you!

In reply to Florida Action Committee. Well, since the Supremes did grant cert in Gundy, your supposition that there is no hope as to Boyd v. Washington is incorrect. Perhaps they have decided that the issue is not going away, and thus are ready to rule again. Possibly with Kennedy retired they don't feel the need to avoid offending his feelings in pointing out the absurdity of his stated reasons for rejecting registration as punishment. Of course, the real problem with SOR is that the State is labeling people as dangerous, then letting private citizens carry out the punishment, via refusing to sell or rent to offenders, refusing to hire or retain offenders as employees, shadow-banning them from other activities, etc. The Judge in the Colorado case got it right. Let's see if the Supremes feel remorse. I doubt it, but you never know.

In reply to A Friend.

So few cases that file a writ for cert are picked up – we can’t rest on the possibility that this might resolve “in person” reporting or wait to see.

If the U. S. Supreme Court accepts certiorari in Boyd v. Washington, SC18-39, FAC’s Ex Post Facto and “in-person reporting” requirements lawsuits, if they are separate, will most likely be resolved by that court’s decision. The case has been set for conference September 24, 2018. The petition for cert. filed by Boyd’s counsel asks the Supreme Court to reconsider their Ex Post Facto ruling in Smith v. Doe based on the additional requirements of sex offender registration and notification laws since Smith, including in-person reporting, as punishment. If accepted, this would impact Double Jeopardy and Eighth Amendment arguments as well. Interestingly, John Roberts argued Smith v. Doe on behalf of Alaska. Doubt he will recuse himself, although obviously he should.

Meanwhile, we just keep pushing forward. There is no stopping now. At some point, all of this unconstitutional mess will crumble.

In reply to John.

That is exactly what it is. In person reporting, SORR and Internet identifiers were all covered in the Doe V Snyder case in Michigan.

I don’t mind a little waiting if the outcome goes our way. If some powerful fortune teller tells me – look, all of this will disappear in two years for good, SORNA, the registry, SORR, IML, etc. etc. but you just have to wait 2 years……great!, I can do those two years easy and go to sleep like a baby with pleasant dreams. That would be a tremendous motivation but, I’m realistic and practical. I think what blows really bad, is that we wait all that time, and it doesn’t go our away. It is like an emptiness of darkness inside me when that happens. It really sucks. Some times I wonder if they made their decision from the beginning, but they just wanted to prolong it for the hell of it.

Fac

forgive my ignorance, but which one is this one ?
” Our “in person reporting challenge” is 51% funded ”

this is because we report in person so many times right? For every little thing ? If I didn’t have to report in person to any agency that be great, of course, if I didn’t have to report anything at all ( The registry ) even better. lol

Sadly, things may get a lot worse and slower, given the leading gubernatorial candidates’ “tough-on-crime” stance, especially that of Putzman:

Take the time to read this short article, it hits the nail on the head. Putzman’s election would be a de-facto Rick Snott third term. He sees nothing wrong with keeping the prisons full and the continual denial of rights restoration.

In reply to Larry. If everyone pitched in to the best extent they can, we'd be so much farther along!
