Standing Our Ground

“In the light of the Internationally publicized State of Florida versus George Zimmerman trial in Seminole County I would like to voice my opinion on how this relates to the RSO.”

In speaking of the RSO pre (not incarcerated) and post release sentences and with our Civil Rights intact, we have the right by Florida Law to Stand Our Ground! With the rash of Vigilante Violence going on around us, we must report all incidents of RSO Profiling to our local Law Enforcement. Again by Law we are protected just as any citizen is when it comes to any attempt to commit a illegal act against us. Now lets sample what those acts may be in relation to the RSO.

A Neighborhood Watch Committee or a Home Owners Association decides to distribute flyers with your Picture and Sex Crime information so as to warn others. This is not against any Florida Law per say although permits may be needed to Distribute and Solicit information to neighborhoods depending on the County you reside in. The problem is how the information is disseminated, the accuracy of the information and more importantly just how the information is used by the residents. If in any way the information is inaccurate as to your exact crime, sentence and current compliance, then the Distributor is committing a Crime. Once the information is sent out then the Crime becomes a much more punishable Offense. The FDLE has the following information to offer:

Any person who believes information provided is not accurate should contact the FDLE Registration & Compliance Unit by phone at 1 (888) 357-7332 or by e-mail at sexpred@fdle.state.fl.us 

The Specific Florida Statute information as Follows:

Any person who misuses public records information relating to a sexual predator, as defined in this section, or a sexual offender, as defined in s. 943.0435 or s. 944.607, to secure a payment from such a predator or offender; who knowingly distributes or publishes false information relating to such a predator or offender which the person misrepresents as being public records information; or who materially alters public records information with the intent to misrepresent the information, including documents, summaries of public records information provided by law enforcement agencies, or public records information displayed by law enforcement agencies on websites or provided through other means of communication, commits a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.

So therefore if anyone you know or may not know sends out e-mails, posts comments via Twitter, Facebook or any kind of Electronic Media and the information sent is not accurate regarding your crime, then that person or person’s can be held responsible and arrested. Many of us including myself have been Profiled and untruths and false information Distributed and have done nothing about it. Its important to note that we are not talking about bringing Civil Suits against the perpetrator of said crimes but calling the cops and getting them arrested for said crimes. For fact, the local Police in your area most likely do not know these specific Statutes for our protection as listed above. I suggest you research yourself the Current Sex Offender Florida Statutes at this Link: http://offender.fdle.state.fl.us/offender/FloridaLaws.jsp 

Many of us have been Physically attacked or have had Property damaged or verbally scorned by misinformed Perpetrators. If this happens, call 911 IMMEDIATELY and report the crime as accurately as possible. Even if you don’t have a witness, these Statutes can protect you. Believe it or not, Law Enforcement Agencies know immediately when RSO’s call to report crimes against themselves as this has become a frequent doing. I actually have had my own City Police tell me, call us and we will protect you!

We have our own “Stand Your Ground” and we must use it. We will not tolerate any more punishment and abuse against ourselves after the Courts have spoken. We are Registered and in every National RSO list in North America and our information is public and databased. So therefore we must keep a very “watchful eye” to whom may follow us or come to our door or attempt to Slander us or to even entrap us to commit another crime. The misinformed public will now do anything to get us out of our neighborhoods and to commit violence in a vigilante setting brought on my media related hysteria.

We have been Profiled falsely and now must Stand Our Ground!
