    I never thought Psychology Today would be used to justify one of the worst laws in modern day history. Did the justices' in favor of Smith v Doe believe the gossip papers were real news?

    Florida is scorched earth whether one is on paper, off paper, off the registry in their home state, and even death won't free a person from the bondage of Florida's registry. IMO the only state that needs to know about a conviction is where it took place. Otherwise law enforcement can see if when they run your info and the public wouldn't have their undies in knots due to a false sense of security because they have a list and bought into the lies.

    I think what probably increases over time are technical violations. The laws are so difficult to comply with and restrictions are layered on regularly - it is very difficult to be administratively perfect for decades. In our case, we had CPD's approval for my son to live at his condo; it passed all restrictions. Then one day, voila! License for daycare within 490 feet we had no idea exists. He did not get arrested, but they handed him a violation paper and if they wanted to get him on something, they could have. Instead he just never went to his own home again after that morning. Just like that, a man ousted from a home he owned. Here in the US of A. People should be ashamed of these laws, I am, but most don't have the good sense to be.

    It's just grandstanding to make them look tough on crime and increase their felony arrests. I haven't looked, but am willing to bet that drugs, robberies, gang activity and murders are pretty prevalent in Seminole County, and their closure rates for those crimes is likely abysmal. Sheriffs in particular probably know full well these laws don't accomplish anything, and their own jail population explains it all, if they're willing to see it (which they probably are in private, but will never acknowledge publicly). Registrants run in and out of jail over stupid registry violations all the time. But even if they have a registrant in custody accused of another actual sex crime, odds are he is perfectly, 100% registry compliant.

    If you visit Florida, then could be a high probability you can be put back onto the registry despite getting off the registry and getting your rights restored in a different state. It doesn't make sense b/c if you paid for your due for a different crime, move to another state, and then put you back into jail for that crime, then it would be unconstitutional and double jeopardy. But since SCOTUS said the registry isn't punitive, but regulatory, then any state can put you back onto the registry. Which is weird b/c that means your penalty has increased from being off the registry and restored rights to being put back onto the registry and restored rights taken away. That increase in penalty has been ruled unconstitutional under Michigan v Snyder. This is something ACSOL and Janice need in their arsenal whenever they go back to SCOTUS. You get off the registry, but that only means you're off the registry in that one state. Do you have to petition off the registry from the other 49 states and territories, which includes serving time on the registry in whatever new state you go? That penalty levy is cruel and unusual, especially if you have to serve an additional 10-year term before petitioning.

    @Silence Do Good, When was his conviction date? I was always told it's your conviction date which mine was 1992 before the registry.y release date from prison was 1994 and my release from parole was 1996. So either way my registry time expired awhile ago. My original 25 years was up in 2020, before it was changed to life, either way I can get removed from the registry either by Does lll at the federal level or Petition to be removed because of Michigans Betts and Shaver rulings.

    It's not working, Florida! Just search "molested" or "assault" in Google news and you'll find nearly daily/weekly reports of sex offense arrests in Florida. So their legislators continue to propose these enhanced laws that aren't stopping anything - they are only (as truly intended) continuing to punish those who have already served their sentences and done their time. (Maybe the legislators should honestly address S.O. prevention in order to protect children? Maybe safe & anonymous pre-offense counseling programs. 🤷🏻‍♂️)

    These Sheriffs do it because their brand is “law and order” and the government public registry scares some of their constituents when a newly released PFR moves into a community. In order to save face and promote their brand, these sheriffs are basically compelled to push for new powers. Again, the root problem of all of this drama is the stupid public registry. If it weren’t for that, no one in this town would even know some ex-con is moving near a public pool and they wouldn’t have anything to freak out about. It all comes back to the public registry. The point of a legal system is to REDUCE drama. The public registry only increases it with no benefit. This is why no other culture on earth has or has ever had one like ours. It’s pure garbage policy.

    These restrictions came about because the Seminole Sheriff had a problem with a registrant moving in near a swimming pool. A sheriff's job is to enforce the laws and not to run to lawmakers because their boxers are in a wad with wanting to create more problems than solutions.

    Can we revisit California Penal Code Section 1203.425 governs automatic criminal record relief (Clean Slate). Subdivision (a)(4) specifically limits public access to these dismissed court case records, preventing courts from disclosing relieved conviction information, except to the individual themselves or authorized criminal justice agencies. [1, 2, 3]. This is a 2024 law that goes a step further than 1203.4. It will grant "automatic" relief rather than having to petition to receive relief. The outcome, however, needs to be treated the same as 1203.425 where it states "preventing courts from disclosing relieved conviction information, except to the individual themselves or authorized criminal justice agencies". With that said, do we know if DOJ policies require updating entries to reflect post-conviction relief? Or whether there is any legislative history indicating how § 1203.4 dismissals should be treated on public registries.

    The statistics sited in this article, reportedly provided by the Florida politician Doug Bankson(R), are from the organization "RAINN—the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network", from a study they conducted in 2009-2013. When reviewing this report, it indicates that these numbers are of "reported events or complaints". The politician, Bankson, infers that such events actually did occur and/or are undisputed. However, these numbers do NOT INCLUDE or INDICATE how many of these "reported complaints" were ultimately proven to be true in a court of law, or not. Importantly, there is no indication as to how many of these complaints were ultimately proven (definitively) to be FALSE, for whatever reason (e.g., the complainant was put up to making the complaint, as happens in divorce cases by one parent against another, or that the complaint was made with malicious intent - to gain advantage in a legal dispute, or to make financial gain or the like, etc.) Nor do the #'s reflect complaints of which the results were neither proven or disproven as to their veracity.

    The Pool and the Pools of Data  by Quiet Too Long   The new house, built of sticks and brick, stood inside the Commune of Safe, the designated destination in a new world ruled by law, where ex‑cons and registered persons were prohibited with supervision data pool protocols from crossing the boundary lines by face‑recognition systems and license‑plate readers. All travel had to be documented and confirmed through data ports in secure depots at vacation destinations, and any recent communication with certain individuals could result in denied passage until trust was verified in the pools. When a recreation pool is built, the legalities of the commune follow: safety is absolute, privacy fences must block all sightlines, and security cameras must discreetly capture any intrusion involving the young, feeding data pools meant only for their protection. Child‑proof gates must log every opening, and these pools for records are kept to ensure safety as civil law begins curfews for the young begin and the Bad Parent Registry emerges—quietly at first, then face‑forward when rebellion rises, as it always does among free Americans. Compliance will be difficult, so civil laws will expand, labeled non‑punitive even as charges become criminal for parents deemed non‑compliant under the broad term “contributing to delinquency,” a phrase that can be applied to anything once normalized. These data pools will eventually become public faced forward protocol so other parents can protect their own children and begin the avoidance, because bad parents mean bad young. And just when the system seems complete, the data pools extend to cell‑phone control issue as we all know this is a dangerous item, when these data pools are handed to the young the guard must be the parental supervision and child safety locks must be present or the parent will be liable for "contributing to"...

    The mentality behind these laws is so flawed that you just can't fix stupid. You'd be better off trying to educate a dog on this issue. So Florida, or anywhere else that wants to be like her, go ahead and build your little invisible walls to keep certain "nasty" people out, but guess what, you will still have kids getting abused just as much as you did before, and somehow, you will be proud of yourselves anyway. People who love the Constitution and (by extension) our country will avoid following this pattern and live like liberty really matters to them. If they were wise, they would avoid places like these altogether, because, like any house of cards built on lies, it will eventually fall.

    If they're a dual US/Mexico citizen, then the US can't stop them from re-entering the country. But as others said, they still need to give the 21 day notification before traveling. If they give the 21 day notification (and assuming they don't have other legal issues like an active warrant), when they return, the US wouldn't take their passport. They'll likely go to secondary inspection. It seems like most of the time, it's a pretty quick process, but they could do a more thorough interrogation, possibly take and investigate their digital devices.

But I'm writing because last year when I went for my registration, the detective handling my paperwork informed me I was eligible to petition for registry removal. So I went about going to the courthouse (Los Angeles), filed my petition paperwork, and mailed a copy to the DA's office as required. I was told I would get a ruling in 6 to 12 months. It has now been 13 months, and I haven't heard anything, not even a denial. I have a copy of the stamped paperwork I filed, but no case number, and am having difficulty searching for this case online. Any and all suggestions from anyone about how to find out the result of my petition would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    This case would be an opportunistic time to to explain why the "Attorney General of Missouri who suggested early in the case that a person convicted of a sex offense is not protected by the First Amendment or any other provision in the Constitution." In Smith v Doe, 2003, the SCOTUS made the registry a civil punishment instead of a punitive punishment. It did so because they were led to believe all persons who commit sex crimes were irredeemable because SCOTUS relied on false information that the recidivism rates for sex convicts were "frightening and high" of 80%. Finally, Dr. Ira and Tara Ellman can get their academic paper introduce at the SCOTUS level, even if this case does not move forward to SCOTUS (meaning SCOTUS agrees with the lower courts that the Halloween laws are unconstitutional). It is a seed dropped to where some SCOTUS may have second thoughts about the original case as well as seeing the dissenting Judges reasonings and predictions have come to fruition.

    Of course the sign is not factual. But there is so much stupid in the entirety of all the restrictions, why would anyone be concerned if the sign is accurate or not? I think it is hilarious that the criminal legislators of Misery are such a bunch of dumbf*cks that they were not intelligent enough to better specify exactly how the sign had to look and where/how it had to be displayed. They admitted in court that a PFR could make the sign on a post-it note and just put it inside the house! Anywhere. Or put it on the floor of their back porch. Actually anywhere. The dumbness is just insane. If you read the court transcripts, it will affect your brain and work to make you dumber. Beware. But out of all the illegal idiocy of their Halloween laws, I personally can't believe the kidnapping part doesn't seem to have gotten more attention. The criminal regime told their PFRs that they must remain in their homes for hours on Halloween. Unless they have a government approved excuse. That is happening in America. One of the government approved excuses is that a PFR will be at work. Some of the regime's law enforcement criminals testified in court that some PFRs actually tell the criminals in advance that they will be at work on Halloween. That is a problem. Why are PFRs helping the criminal regimes? Why are so many PFRs so eager to help the harassment and terrorism work better? Appeasing bullies only gives them legitimacy they do not deserve and it emboldens them to commit more, worse crimes. Don't feed the terrorists. I have to believe that if I lived in Misery, I would have my property completely walled off, in order to keep the criminals out always....

Incest laws prohibit sexual contact or marriage between close relatives. While regulations vary by state, they generally ban unions between lineal relatives, siblings, and extended relations. These laws exist to prevent genetic defects in offspring, protect family harmony, and prevent the exploitation of power imbalances within households.

    "I’m sorry but it can’t be the last time you explain this." Uh, yes it can be. The change of address to Europe meant nothing except that he moved out of the US. Why why why must you not understand???

    Let's hope for a positive outcome in Michigan -- with regard to ex post facto and punitive issues -- and that outcome can be applied to our situation here in CA.

    Missouri's cert petition repeatedly calls the Halloween sign ("No candy or treats at this residence") a "factually accurate" disclosure. They argue it is true because the law prohibits "participating in Halloween". but the statute does not prohibit possession of candy or treats, yet the sign declares they are not present. Even if one isn't "participating in Halloween", but they have a cookie in their pantry, the sign is false. Doesn't this undermine Missouri's "just factual" claim and strengthen the compelled speech argument?

    The Florida action committee is getting ready to file a massive lawsuit and could use your help, if you have ever avoided visiting Florida because of the registry or ever visited Florida. You know what the requirements are like. Anyway impact statements are very welcome https://floridaactioncommittee.org/fac-weekly-update-2026-07-14-preparing-for-a-historic-legal-challenge/

    My fiance was also "Tier 1" (no public disclosure) under the old law. SB384 put him in the highest Tier 3 with full address disclosure. His offense itself would still be a Tier 1 (no public disclosure) and under SORNA, it is not even a registrable offense at all. It is the Static-99R bogus risk score that put him in Tier 3. His score has been the same forever, even before the new law. Yet, he was never public regardless of his score. They just added this ridiculous stipulation with the new law. All of a sudden, he is in the highest Tier when for decades, he was not listed on the public shaming site. How can that be explained in a logical way? Wait, there is no logic when it comes to the registry. Mind boggling, ridiculous and absolutely unacceptable. Ruining people's lives decades after they have served their time and paid their dues. Restraints and disabilities get added at a whim, depending on how the wind blows?

    It seems annoying that you must do work before SCOTUS even agrees to look at the case. Surely SCOTUS has better and more important things to do than deal with thoroughly idiotic issues being pushed from a fascist, criminal regime. Nothing more important going on than Halloween signs? That's a 1% issue? Although, in fairness, protecting citizens from fascist criminals is actually very important. But as I've said before, I do think the fascists should have to compensate citizens that are forced to defend themselves. Misery should be forced to pay you and ACSOL a lot. Compensatory and punitive damages. They should also be forced to pay any and all PFRs ever affected. I suppose that is what a class action suit is about. But payouts should be a given/requirement when a fascist, criminal regime is told that they cannot enforce an illegal "law". The regime should be forced to hand out damages. The State of Misery, and other criminal regimes, should be forced to maintain very large funds which are used every single day to fund groups like ACSOL (ACLU, etc.), for the purposes of challenging any of their illegal activities. That fund should be active always. The criminals are terrorists who cannot be trusted. Americans should have easier ways to fight them off.

    "AG" == Arrogant Garbage I like that. Probably accurate most of the time. I suspect the AG job is like law enforcement in that it attracts good people, but also very, very much the worst of the worst. We need for good people to win and keep the scum Registry A**holes/Supporters/Terrorists out and marginalized. I will use "Arrogant Garbage (AG) Catherine Hanaway".

    SCOTUS has not agreed to grant review in this case. So far, the AG filed a petition on July 6 requesting review. We have an initial 30 days to reply but will request an additional 30 days to do what needs to be done. That means our reply will actually be due right after Labor Day.

    Could be worse! I was Tier One (as it was commonly understood in CA) for 23 years, no re-offending, nothing. SB384 comes along and puts certain "Tier One" offenses like mine into -- wait for it -- Tier 3!

    First and foremost, thank you for all you have done and are a part of the important changes we need in getting the registry and the related damaging initiatives stopped!!! It is time for the 2003 ruling that indicated the registry was not punishment to be addressed. THanks to you and the many of us working in some way, this is going to happen!!! n

    I don't see that it makes any difference if a person is a former-PFR vs PFR. If a government can make any visitor (e.g. a current PFR) sign up for their Registry, then I really don't see why they couldn't force anyone else sign up. The fact that state A calls a person a PFR or not doesn't have to matter at all to state B. State B can call whomever they like that. Don't some states still have laws which say the effect of "if you have ever been convicted of crime X, then you must Register?" Are those states being forced to "assess the danger" of people to whom that applies? I don't think so. So why would it matter if a new state resident or visitor currently had to Registry anywhere else or not? The state can just say you must. You said, "I believe there would be harm towards ..." There is definitely harm. But if that harm is legal for a PFR, seems like it is legal for a former-PFR (or anyone else) also.

    Nah. People should stop playing into big government's lies and propaganda that they have any clue at all about who is dangerous and who is not. Stop worrying about what the Registry A**holes/Supporters/Terrorists (RASTs) say or care about "tiers". They are lying terrorists. I mean, there are obvious people who are dangerous, but so what. We know that the SEX Offense Registries do absolutely nothing to even slightly help hinder anyone from committing a SEX crime. So why are people pretending that some people should be listed on it and others not? Listing a person on the Regstries makes them more dangerous. Personally to me, if a person accepts that Registries are okay to exist, then I want that person listed on the Registries. As long as Registries exist, every single American must suffer consequences (and does). We should identify, ally with, and protect people who are anti-Registry. But everyone else, surely over 100 million, must suffer worse consequences. Every single American does already suffers consequences from the Registries daily, but we should try to direct that as much as possible to the RASTs.

    Legislating away constitutional rights has become the easiest form of politics. Instead of creating policies that actually improve public safety, some lawmakers keep proposing laws that test the limits of the Constitution. Whether you like someone or not is irrelevant the Bill of Rights applies to everyone. If we allow constitutional protections to be ignored for one group today, it becomes easier to ignore them for another tomorrow. We must keep up the battle or our rights will be eroded away.

    Heroes get remembered, but legends never die. Misery's AG (Arrogant Garbage) and other AGs try being heroes for the sake of looking tough on crime by throwing the book to see what sticks, while Janice is a legend that fights for registrants and their families which is more admirable IMO. May the momentum continue to grow and eventually take the registry and sex offense laws/restrictions to the dump where they belong.

    I'm sorry but it can't be the last time you explain this. New people just convicted of sex offenses are going to see recent comments you make where you just say "go travel to SEA and enjoy your life" without knowing you've previously explained that you changed your address to Europe and assume that one can successfully travel to SEA without having done something or having some special circumstance. I'm also not sure why just changing your address to Europe would work. I'm happy for you that it did, but if you're still using your US passport at border control, they would still see the IML marker. Unless you have a second passport? Even then, I think at least in some cases your US record would still show up at border control if you use your second passport. That's definitely the case for the Five Eyes countries. I never said, nor do do I think, that you lied.

    I understand your concerns, and that passport stamp would also give me pause about traveling to SEA. But to be fair, Cambodia Law on Tourism encourages travelers not to participate in child trafficking & sexual exploitation while inside their kingdom. It says nothing about previous offenses that a traveler had committed in their home country. So it's reasonable to believe the OP has no problem crossing their border with his marked passport. Personally, I wouldn't take that chance. The Doc is too old and needs his meds 🤭 to take that gamble to stay in a Cambodia jail.

    Last time saying........no tricks, no schemes, no payoffs, no who knows who. Go to new country respect the people, obey the laws. Oh...I never *lied* to anyone. I did a change of address to Europe. As a matter of fact I tried to submit the 20 day notice of international travel and they (agency) would not accept it because I was "moving". I think it better if you just stay in the USA. Good luck
