At this moment I am in line to register in person at Pasco county. The regular registration officer is out today, and there is only one. They put someone in as a temporary replacement and so far I’ve been outside, in line for over an hour. A very angry lady in front of me has been here 3. The sheriffs

It is often said that the media doesn’t tell us what to think; the media tells us what to think about. The media frames our understanding of public issues and informs us which public issues should be at the forefront of our minds. For 8 years I have taught a college course entitled Sex Crimes. The course uses history and

Another twist to trying to thwart the election process is taking place in the St. Johns County race for county sheriff.  At the last minute on the final day for filing, a Democratic candidate with no law enforcement experience filed as a write in candidate.

Jason DeMare went on an ADULT website and initiated contact with AN ADULT. For days, they chatted and flirted while he believed the woman was 18, but on the fourth day she told him she was 14. She was neither 14 nor 18 and she was not a flirty female but an undercover officer. Each time DeMare tried to steer

We’ve written several times over the last few years about the lack of any consideration for people who are elderly or sick when it comes to registration requirements. Simply, there are no exceptions. Even if someone is bedridden or in a coma, there is nothing in Florida Statutes that provides an exception to IN PERSON registration. The fact that these

Today, the 4th District Court of Appeals struck another blow to Lauren Book by again (and in 26 pages) rejecting the petulant Senator’s claim that Logue stalked her. In a petition to the 17th Circuit (in Ft. Lauderdale) she alleged that Derek Logue, of oncefallen.com and an outspoken registry reform advocate stalked her. She cited to three instances – one

The Alliance for Constitutional Sex Offense Laws (ACSOL) filed a lawsuit today challenging the early release plans of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR). The agency plans to begin releasing from prison on July 1 anyone convicted of a non-violent offense who has a release date no later than December 31.
