If visiting the Peace Arch International Park in WA on the Canadian border one can walk to the Canadian side of the Park and not go through customs coming or going, or one can just stay on the US side of the park. But be aware that US Border Patrol is roaming the park on the US side and asking people where they are from and are asking for ids.
This concerns me as a person forced to register (pfr) as I do not trust the US gov. I was planning on visiting, but after learning about the border patrol have decided not to visit unless no longer a pfr. There is a goal to arrest as many people as possible, and US citizens even after showing ids have been arrested (and most later released and a few have been deported). There is no care that one is a US citizen and no care of any constitutional rights as the goal is to just arrest as many people as possible. They do this by saying the ids are fake. As a pfr I do not want to be held in detention as I would then fear for my safety from employees of the US gov who may want to beat me because of my label or from others should the gov “let it slip” that I am a pfr. I would be far less fearful of the gov employees if not a pfr.
I guess my gov employee distrust comes from observing on videos actions of the fed gov employees, from my past where the gov told me they were going to file false charges, filed false charges, filed a false arrest warrant and threatened harm to my children, and from my past where local LE broke into my house and stole multiple items containing my DNA, and where an ex-chief of police stalked my house and all family and friends coming and going.
What an f_ing country where one has to live in fear of the government that does not follow the constitution and is at war with the citizens…
I have a question about visiting Florida as someone who is required to register. I am planning a short trip to visit family, a necessary trip this time. I am only interested in the maximum time I can be there before I have to leave or register. You would think this is a simple question and answer, but it is not. Over the years I have communicated with FDLE and they just don’t offer any clarification on what I consider a vaguely worded law. The response from FDLE highlights the confusion for me. In a nutshell, the law states that the first day you are present is not counted and each subsequent day is counted. Then it says you have three days in a calendar year at a temporary residence (such as a hotel) before you have to register. My interpretation of this is that you have 4 days. If the first day isn’t counted and you have three days, there seems to be no reason for confusion, yet I have never seen anyone say that you get four days in Florida. Here is the exact text that FDLE sent me:
FDLE cannot provide you with legal advice. Whether or not you must register … in Florida is determined by law. You are encouraged to discuss that matter with an attorney or legal representative.
For the purpose of calculating a permanent or temporary residence, the first day that a person abides, lodges, or resides at a place is excluded and each subsequent day is counted. For the purpose of calculating a transient residence, the first day that a person lives, remains, or is located in a county for the purpose of abiding, lodging, or residing is excluded and each subsequent day is counted. A day includes any part of a calendar day.
Florida Statute 775.21 defines permanent, temporary, and transient residence:
“Permanent residence” means a place where the person abides, lodges, or resides for three or more consecutive days that is the person’s home or other place where the person primarily lives. “Temporary residence” means a place where the person abides, lodges, or resides, including, but not limited to, vacation, business, or personal travel destinations in or out of this state, for three or more days in the aggregate during any calendar year that is not the person’s permanent or transient residence. For a person whose permanent residence is not in this state, the term also includes a place where the person is employed, practices a vocation, or is enrolled as a student for any period of time in this state.
Can anyone confirm if the day you arrive in CA counts towards the 5 working days threshold for registering? For example, if I were to arrive on a Monday morning and leave Sunday, would I have to register?
Just got back from Hawaii which was fabulous! I spent only 10 days there which is the allotted time for visitors. Non business days count as part of that, folks. After calling the Hawaii registry, they also told me that if I were to register, it would be for life unless I can get my name removed through petition. However, my info wouldn’t be public for up to 30 days after entering the state, and it’d always be non-public once I’m out of state. But I would technically still be in their registry. So I just stuck to 10 days, because Hawaii sounds like a mild version of Florida. I stayed mostly in Waikiki, but I noticed a lot of residential poverty & homelessness outside that district. I wonder how many of them are on the registry? 🤔 But Honolulu is still a very safe city overall. If I was homeless, it certainly would be the place because Oahu never gets cold!
Does any one know how visiting Puerto Rico works? I’ve seen conflicting info but what is the process/max days to not trigger registration? I believe its domestic travel so is the 21 day international travel notification required?
@atwo zee. Any chance you ever were able to get through to any in Puerto Rico to confirm if it’s 3 or 10 days for visitation? Trying to plan a honeymoon someplace which won’t trigger a change to my entire life
