FAC in the News – PRESS RELEASE Regarding the Green License Plates
Senator Lauren Book waited until after-hours on the 50th day of the Legislative session to submit an amendment to SB 1252 (#589098 filed 4/25/2023 at 9:02pm) that would require special fluorescent green license plates assigned to persons forced to register (PFR) as sex offenders. FAC Immediately issued the following Press Release:
Florida State Senator Lauren Book Proposes Special Fluorescent Green License Plates for Spouses and Children of Persons Required to Register as Sex Offenders
According to Gail Colletta, President of the Florida Action Committee, such a policy would gravely threaten the safety and property not only of persons required to register as sexual offenders, but also their family members and in some cases roommates, extended family, or even friends. “As Senator Book well knows, the Florida Statutes define a vehicle owned by a person required to register as a sex offender not only as their own car, but as any vehicle parked at the registrant’s home for five days or more. This obviously includes the registrant’s spouse and children, but in many cases also includes roommates, extended family, and friends visiting for a week. Book’s amendment to SB 1252 should shock and terrify every citizen in the state of Florida,” Colletta said.
When asked why Book, a South Florida Democrat who describes herself as “an educator and public servant working to make life better for all Floridians” would propose such a dangerous and unconstitutional law, Colletta pointed out that Book has a history of proposing extreme legislation targeting those who have committed even relatively minor sexual offenses, along with their families. Colletta noted that “Lauren Book apparently is oblivious to, or just doesn’t care, that her fluorescent green license plate amendment would put registrants and their families at extreme risk of not only harassment but physical violence. I’m sure Book would say that registrants should have thought of that before they committed their offenses, but how could they have possibly contemplated such a law in some cases decades before the fact? And what about their families? What did their child do to deserve a special fluorescent license plate forced on her car by the state? When it comes to piling on additional punishment long after registrants have completed their sentences, the Legislature just can’t seem to help itself.”
The Florida Action Committee (FAC), a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting the public through the passage of rational laws based on empirical evidence, has urged other state senators to vote against Book’s dangerous anti-family amendment. An official spokesperson for the Florida Action Committee confirmed that if Book’s amendment eventually passes, it will immediately be challenged in court.
I think it’s gone too far with having Visitors to do the same thing. Hmmmm
It’s very possible that this bill, if it becomes law, will be successfully challenged in court. Even if that happens, however, many people will be harmed while it is in effect. Therefore, every effort must be made to stop this bill before it becomes law.
Did this bill pass the License Plate ?
Has not been read yet. Will probably be at 6:15pm today.
Everybody move out of Florida . Stop giving these communists any money.
DeSantis has no guts to veto any of this.
I moved and now I’m free!!
Vincent
Unfortunately you are still on Florida’s registry so anyone who searches your name will see that 🙁
I know. Another illegal activity by the state. I have a normal license. I can live where I want. I’m not on MA state registry.
I’m free
To go where I want.
If it passes, I am selling my vehicle and taking a taxi.
No way I am going to have a band of vigilantes following me around trying to kill me with nothing to defend myself with. My vehicle already gets vandalized at least a few times a month in my own driveway.
The DL law will be the Scarlet letter and the green license plate will be the Radioactive slime of death.
I could do that I dont own any vehicles but my wife and two daughters do. So my only option if an injunction fails is to move out.
Brother, if that isn’t retroactive punishment and punitive in nature, I do not know what is.
Prayers for all of us.
I’ve been thinking that a lot of people will do this. With Uber and Lyft available in most places, it’s a viable option. Bicycling and other modes of transportation are available. Buses and trains. People sell their cars…no more money going to the state for tags. And then you don’t need a drivers license. Oh but wait…since all Lauren Book does is sit around CONjuring ways to hurt and kill people, she’ll probably find a way to sneak in at the last minute terrible things for any transportation. The corrupt government is always looking for the next attack tool to beat us with.
@Love
I think she just needs to rest and put on some headphones and listen to Adele for like 20 hours nonstop LOL
It’s entirely too far continuously allowing Lauren Book and her father to remain as legislators. There should be term limits to all who hold a seat in the house in every state and they may not be able to run again anywhere in any other political seat once their term is up! It is time the people (who can vote) took a stand and make term limits a real thing!!
Agreed and in my opinion they are very self serving so not practice what they preach. I believe lots of the actions taken to continue the funding they both directly and indirectly benefit from.
We have 8 year term limits in both houses here in Florida. She will term out in November of 2024. Not sure if you just miss spoke, but her father is a lobbyist. He lines a lot of pockets. Only guy I know who can drive drunk, flip over an SUV and still have his DL and and not even a slap on the wrist. Adjudication withheld – no criminal record. In fact many legislators where saying how he deserved a second chance. He also many years before had troubles….
https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/crime-and-politics-6365240
As you can see he was a busy guy.
I guess she’s still mad at Derrick Logue for bringing up the fact that her attorney and longtime friend Mr.DOLCE was charged a few weeks ago of heinous sex crimes consisting of numerous accounts of child pornography.
This woman will not stop. She wants to protect children yet [moderated]. Lauren can’t have it both ways. What happen to her was horrible. No one should have to suffer through that but it’s time to GET OVER IT.
I hope she reads this. Lauren you and your father are a disgrace to Florida. He drives a Lamborghini drunk and you support abortion but yet you want FAMILIES of registered sex offenders to have neon green license plates. What is wrong with you?
And yet you never published my comment around a month ago about Lauren Book getting arrested recently. Even sent a link as proof but the crickets are still chirping.
This law could make me lose my job since my employer was kind enough to allow registration of all company vehicles so I can drive them legally.
Ben
So sorry bud. You would be a great person to speak to the law makers so they could see and hear how it is in fact retroactive punishment. Losing your job because of a new law that also puts your other workers in danger, is pure madness.
This has more repercussions almost too many to number. Having vehicles vandalized while in the parking lot at the store. After turning damage claims into insurance companies; so many times that insurance rates go up or are cancelled by insurance companies. Even the simple courtesy of allowing a vehicle to merge into traffic , upon seeing the ” green target plate”. The looks of hate and discuss that the operator of the green tags will generate will be like “bate ” to some who may not normally express any harmful thoughts to the driver. The list will reveal it’s self as it is played out on the highways and parking lots.
I’ve been thinking about the license plates in traffic, etc. if Lauren Book’s insanity somehow manifests. I have some bumper sticker ideas that I will have made to explain the corruption.
We take our Mustang to car cruises. Imagine having to deal with this in those settings. I would have to create a brochure to pass out to everyone explaining Lauren Book’s hate and vengeance and make the events education opportunities to help people understand what is really taking place.
I love writing when I have something important to say and my decoder dude showed me that’s what I’m here to do this time around. My kids have been encouraging me to start a blog. I’m thinking it’s time to get it started and this topic is desperately in need of public education. People need to know how easily they can get caught up in this, especially those who wish and intend harm.
Lisa
In my area there is already a group on Facebook (Someone showed it to me and I actually met the people in traffic although they do not know I met them). They are called Predator patrol and they have stickers on their raised up pickup trucks. They have bumper stickers that say, “Kill you local predator”.
Well even though all of us are not designated as a predator, that group doesn’t care. And oh, by the way, this bill just handed them all the information they need to know who to kill. And what happens when the car with the green plate is our grand daughter who came over to visit and wants to go to the movies with her friends and borrowed my car? This should be labeled the “Hate speech bill” or the “Death sentence bill”.
All who vote for this will have blood on their hands. Just how many have to die before it gets revoked by the supreme court which can take years.
Praying for common sense legislation regarding the Registry. Facts have shown it doesn’t work. It only hurts innocent family members. Lord please wake our leaders up to this Fact and Change the entire Registry as written.
🙏
Nan
Thank you so much.
In Romans 12:17-1 9 the apostle Paul tells us, Repay no one evil for evil. Commend what is honest in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as it depends on you, live peaceably with all men.
This is pure Vengeance on people she doesn’t even know.
You are right Cherokee about not repaying evil for evil. Now when the person in question said I want you to talk dirty to me I didn’t really know how to react to that.
Now from what I gather ministers of God are for good or do these ministers tempt. God does not tempt. What does one do in a compromise. Remember we don’t wrestle with flesh and blood but its the principal behind the whole action. So who has the greater sin..
I think a review of many cases will spell out truth. God is not the author of sin.Guess Law enforcement tend to forget that for their self pride and power.
Exactly. She is perpetuating the cycle of hurting those accused of hurting someone. Harm for harm. There’s absolutely no positive, helpful, kind or compassionate effort. She just wants to beat up people she doesn’t even know or ever met because she loves being a victim. You’re only a victim if you beLIEve you’re a victim. She’s never let go. She’ll never heal till she lets go.
We don’t know where this may end up, but I am very aware of behind the scenes plans to completely enslave every human into oblivion. There’s a very good possibility that they are using this crime du jour as a testing ground for eventually applying registrations and restrictions for everything for everyone. They passed legal fiction that all new vehicles have remote controlled kill switches in them in the next 3-4 years…in the name of “safety”, of course. All the evil they do, they tell us is for our good and safety. But literally everything they say is a bonafide lie and a trap that sets up the next trap.
@Lisa
A pastor I was listening to last year said to have some cash stashed away as once the Governments seizes bank accounts there will be chaos. I think a step further, when that happens, actually cash probably will no longer be valid anyway. People will barter with food, supplies, gas and other things I cannot type on here but use your imagination.
Not saying that is happening tomorrow, this year or when, but the signs and warnings are getting stronger. Be aware and prepare.
Who does this law serve? If law enforcement reads your plate, they already have your information. So, again, who does this law serve? Lauren Book: ask yourself if you’re helping or hurting people. I understand you were hurt, but that doesn’t mean you have to seek retribution from everyone else. I hope someone finds something nasty about you and it makes the news. There MUST be some questionable financial dealings going on here.
Bet the odds are better than average that Ron Book is a paid lobbyist for some company that manufactures those plates.
Ben
I posted a story on her about a month ago about her getting arrested and FAC refused to post it. It was legit and verified on several news stations. It was a minor crime but she did get arrested.
I don’t know her and she does not know me. She was not my victim and I am not her accused. But she is taking it out on all of us.
I am NOT renewing my FAC membership because they seem afraid of her. All the phone calls in the world wont diminish her regular hatred toward us.
Richard
I just got a link from someone who showed me FAC did in fact post the link to the Book arrest story I posted. Not sure why I never got the notification.
https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/florida-democratic-chair-nikki-fried-sen-lauren-book-arrested-during-abortion-bill-protest/
Why don’t you just hide under a rock ? What will you do to fight the system. Without the FAC, nothing.
She has already received a preliminary bit of Karma. A 19 year old man somehow got hold of nude photos of her and tried to blackmail her. She found out in 2020 that the photos were sold and on the internet. Now, I wonder…..HOW did the photos get out there? Was she sexting and got hacked? Was she sexting with the 19 year old? Was she the one responsible for the photos? Are there nude photos of you out there? What are the consequences for HER actions if she took them and sent them?
I fear for her twins for two reasons…
I don’t think she is mentally stable because she is holding onto victimhood. It’s kinda like the disease some moms have that makes them keep their kids sick for attention. Munchhausen disease. She likes attention. Just look at her photo on Wiki and look in her eyes. There’s a lot of static in the void.
Reason #2….while she’s out pushing legal fiction that destroys tens of thousands of families and lives, who is watching her twins? Just because the sitter isn’t on the registry doesn’t mean they’re safe. At the rate our corrupt government is dragging people into this ever expanding web, her sitter(s) are more and more likely to either have a friend or family on the registry. She has no idea if anyone has plotted to get in to harm her kids and it could be a massive shock if that’s how Karma bites her on the butt. Her kids may never be safe. The angry hurt child of a registrant might attend school with her kids some day. And they could end up victims of her legal fictions…arrested and go to prison for sexting or whatever.
All I know for sure is, I’ve witnessed Karma thousands of times in my life and the bully that dished it can’t take the heat when it comes back exponentially worse than they sent it. Her day is coming, it’s just a matter of time. She has no idea how she is harming her own self and her kids with her hateful vigilante mentality. She’d feel so much better if she’d just let it go. Forgiveness and kindness are magical.
Lauren Book was raised in a very privilaged environment. She didn’t experience childhood abuse on the streets or bullying at school. She was not molested by a stranger or someone with a prior sex offense. She was molested by her nanny! You asked a rhetorical question about who was taking care of her twins while she is off making life miserable for registrants. There is deep irony in that. Yes indeed, who is watching her twins?
Great comments Gail!!! So thankful for FAC leadership.
Just in time for the constitution carry law to go into effect, July 1st, would mean a lot of danger for anyone driving a car/truck with those tags on them…
I don’t believe you will approve this. There is a point in what I am about to say. My first 12 years was very abusive. At the age of 12 & 13 I lived on the streets of K. C., MO. I was molested many numerous times and other heinous things. I was put in a home for abused children in Oklahoma. The point is, I have forgiven all who has done me wrong. I am not minimizing what happened to Senator Book. Yes, I offended and served all my time. I offended during a long period of depression during my PTSD. These two bills of red lettering and fluorescent license plate have brought back untold stress. I plead for Senator Book to look past the wrong that was done to her and find forgiveness.
John Clayton
Sir, thank you for being brave enough to share your story, your past and your bravery in posting it. Although our past will always be in our minds messing with us and telling us we are no good, That is the Devil trying to get us to give up.
I am so sorry that as a young boy you had to survive on the streets. Although nowhere near what you went through I grew up getting bullied because my Father was in the military. He was never home as he always went overseas and left us in whatever city he was stationed at, at the time. My Mom was left to take care of me and my sister and I was the new kid at school usually ever 2 years for most of my life. I was always the target of bullies.
For many years it bothered me but one day I decided those experiences actually made me mentally stronger. And I think the same about your experience. If you can survive living on the streets as a child you can do anything. Please do not give up. There are some really good people on here both staff from F.A.C and some of the regular commenters. One of these days when we gain our freedom from the registry, I would love to meet some of the people in person on here I talk with in the comments.
John, this has nothing to do with the wrongs that were done to the Senator. Not a single piece of legislation that has passed in the last 30 years would have prevented the crimes committed against her, just like they don’t stop the crimes being committed now. This has everything to do with being seen as fighting the good fight to keep those charitable donations rolling in from donors and the State of Florida coffers.
Exactly! Lauren Book’s sitter wasn’t on any registry. There was no way to know what would happen, just as there’s no way she can know her kids are safe with their sitter.
This is THE point to everything she has done! Nothing she does can undo what was done to her. I truly see mental issues in her eyes. I honestly believe she has some form of Munchhausen disease.
I don’t know how she is with her kids, but she obviously wants to be seen and praised for her horrific actions, because somehow in her twisted mind, she really believes she’s doing good. The only alternative is that she is acting as an agent for her lobbyist father and that some corporation(s) will profit from her actions. We know corporations are profiting from ankle bracelets and the overpriced junky crap that jails allow to be sent to inmates. They don’t let families bring personal items that are already owned. Not even socks and tshirts to stay warm. Greed is evil and destroys everything it touches.
I just watched Daddy’s Home 2. In the end, they all forgive each other and find in themselves their goodness and kindness. One of those endings that feels good all over. That’s the ending I want to this nightmare.🥰
Rick
The only reason I am not worried about it is, there are enough gun totting crazies around my area already so I am use to it. My Windows get shot out so often that I just started putting tape over the holes.
Police tell me to fill out a report online which never gets followed up on. Insurance deductible is $1000 and makes your insurance go up. And the bullet holes are sort of like scars, they show you have street cred LOL
Family members carry, too. Self-defense is legal.👌🏼
@Love
I was told by an attorney we cannot live in the same house with someone who has a firearm. The only thing I could find online is if you are on probation, you can’t. Maybe someone can clear that up for us?
Firearms stay with family members during probation. They just have to be locked up. I think they’re afraid when the trolls come around to do home checks that the victim on the registry will shoot the trolls. That’s not the answer. Trolls aren’t worth it, no matter how angry you are, it will only make it all worse.
Idk if this is different in each county, but this is how it is in Osceola.
If you’re a Convicted felon you cannot be around anyone with a rim/center fire gun, but as a convicted felon you can use/own a black powder gun, without being arrested for having it….when I was on probation I was allowed to have my guns, (adjudicated) I just had to tell probation officer when I was going to use them….
Yeah I think that law is dumb. You can kill someone or rob them just as easily with a black powder as any other gun, just you only get one shot so better make it count.
They changed the law recently that we cannot carry a pocket knife or pepper spray or mace either. Next we won’t be able to be in possession of a kitchen knife. I guess no more going to Longhorn.
After looking into it,Florida law 790.23 says you cannot own a firearm of any kind if you are a convicted felon.
Federal Law say you can own a black power gun if your a convicted….
I was unaware of the Florida law and I’m sure a lot of others don’t know it either….
The only way to remove her constant hate toward us is to remove her from office. No effort has been made to even find someone to oppose her at the polls. Why cant we begin to do that now.?
She’s done in Nov 2014. She will have reached her term limit
Vincent if she is done in 2014 she must be a time traveler.
Yikes no wonder she has so much power.
Yea,lol I meant 2024!!
Still think she is a time traveler she knows our every move and comes up with more and more laws to make our lives miserable. She does not know any of us other than the person she was a victim of and yet she has made it her personal mission to destroy not only our lives but the lives of our families.
The Word (The Bible) says to Not repay evil with evil.
My interpretation: We can remember the past so we do not make the same mistakes, and yet not dwell on those we have burdened nor those who have burdened us.
Are you saying @Vincent, she is working up a crescendo of legislative motions now to set up her legacy in the FLA legislature conclusion next year with perhaps even more shenanigans? Sadly, I could see her trying to graduate to the next political step up for a higher office like others from FLA are.
She terms out in 2024. I left Florida due in part to the shenanigans in Brevard county. John Tobia has his own special vendetta.
Lauren Book is a self centered ego maniac. All she cares about now is her legacy. Only a Constitutional lawsuit will solve this problem. How is her father allowed to drive drunk with no repercussions yet we have to have our licenses stamped in red? This is ludicrous. This is done blatantly without even trying to cover it up. This is the state of affairs in the United States of America. Is Florida still part of America?
Please clarify……
She has next year to do more damage?
Or is she done this year? She went in, in 2016 so this is year 8.
If this is her last year, this must be her last hoorah to do as much damage as possible. I pity her children. They could end up in Karma’s lesson for her.
Nothing cuts a heart as deep as as going after a mother’s child. Those hurt/negative frequencies affect the Aether and everyone swimming in it and finds it’s way right back to the one who transmitted it. It’s a universal law for teaching humility, kindness and compassion.
Do your best not to hate her. There was a time I would have wished her dead. Very personal inward experiences have taught me that just thinking that comes back on me. She hates my son and my family, but hating her only perpetuates an endless cycle of pain and suffering. It takes tremendous work to master emotions and thoughts, but it is doable.🙏🏼🥰
All I would challenge you to email the 5 Senators that voted no in committie the bills sponsor and your Senator. I would also recommend reaching out to Rep. Daniels, Gottelieb, Robinson and the others who voted no in the house asking them to reach out to their friends in the Senate. I went out on a limb and emailed them. Put in some personal stuff along with the LA Case, AL case and Wooley V Maynard.
Have a good night all.
Thanks for doing that.
Some of us cannot take a stand for various legal reasons so thankful for those like yourself you can do it for us. If I can ever get some legal closure, I will be on fire for the cause.
This was the first time I have done this. The main reason is because up til now this only really affected me, but the green license plates directly put a bulls eye on my family who are law abiding, never been in jail, no criminal record US citizens which I see no way the legislature can force them to where the yellow star oh sorry the green license plate! This is not 9/01 1941 Germany…….. or is it? We find out today. Do we know approximately what time this happens
@Tearfuleagle
And they keep being allowed to retroactively apply these horrible laws and rules by using the go to key words “Not Punishment”.
My Dad used to tell me that when he beat the crap out of me as a young child. Then try and hug me and tell me he loved me. Just because someone says it is not punishment doesn’t mean that is true. I could point at a dog and say “Hey what a neat llama you have there”, but that doesn’t change what it really is.
Totally Agree. I had a conference call with an Attorrney today explained what Book did on the Senate Bill, thank God it didnt get approved …. yet. I gave him the Orange Coloring case out of LA and the Red Letter Case out of Alabama and Wooley V Maynard out of NH. This Attorney is not a Registrant attorney per se but a First amendment constituional ammendment as well. I also think we may of an arguement with the “Right to Travel” clause in the Constitution as well. But Also Due Process and Equal protection clause as well. I will emailing Senator DiCeglia and Asking him to Withdrawl his bill. That Stops the Book Nonsense for now.
Again, Sen. DeCeglie does NOT need to withdraw his bill. It’s Sen. Book’s proposed amendment to that bill that must be withdrawn, and DeCeglie’s own amendment adopted.
But if he withdrawls his bill is it not moot. Can not vote on an amendment if there is no bill. I would rather not take the chance that She has garnered support for her ammendment.
Ask the Florida Senators to vote YES on Senator DiCeglie’s amendment to SB 1252 that would remove the red lettering language and vote NO on Senator Book’s amendments that include the red lettering on the front of driver’s licenses and florescent green license plates.
Can someone please list the five senators that voted no. I had a hard time hearing some of the audio. Thank you. I want to write them today and thank them. Continue to write a Lauren Book to let her know how much she is going to affect my family. My poor husband, and two children do not need this. They did not do anything wrong.
Senator Osgood https://m.flsenate.gov/Senators/s32
Is the only one I heard say no go to the 25th minute mark https://floridaactioncommittee.org/video-florida-senate-fiscal-policy-committee-sb-1252/
Kelly
I think most of us agree and feel that way. But someone once told me that “I” put my family at risk by what I did, and not them. Well hum, so they are allowed to attack our home and risk hurting people that had nothing to do with my crime. AND, furthermore, the majority of vigilantes going after those on the registry have zero connection to us individually and would dare to say to ANY of us.
Cherokee, I think its time for everyone in Florida to fight with the two edged sword. There is a principal involved in everything under the sun or is the commandments messing in Florida.
Seems like society wants to brand many in many ways. Look at all of this registry guff as an opportunity to correct government’s misunderstandings.or is government oppressing. When government prostitutes itself than nobody has rights. This registry ordeal has opened a can of worms.

Thank you for the info and addresses! I am working on sending thank you’s. Jay Trumbull’s aid, Tina, is the only one to send me personal replies, to 3 emails I sent.🥰
I included a family photo in my pleas yesterday so the reps could see we are human beings and not just numbers on Lauren books hit list. They say a picture is worth 1000 words. They just need to see who Lauren Book’s unconstitutional domestic terrorism is harming and who could be killed by vigilantes in addition to Lauren Book. Her soul is in so much trouble.
Thank you, again🙏🏼
I certainly would like to email all of them ad well as governor … To me, the ones on the list aren’t the problem, they appear to be trying to redeem themselves and undo the wrongs they did. They should be given an easy route off the list and let them live a life without having to look behind their shoulders all the time.
They need to focus on the truly dangerous people and the ones who should be on the list but avoid it.
We need to gather in force and get this stupid list shut down and we might as well start here in Florida and set an example for others to follow. Otherwise soon the state will prosecute everyone, and when everyone has left the state, then what will they do?
[moderated]
SB 1252 is scheduled to be read as the last item today, April 28, 2023, according to the special order calendar. Continue to pepper the senators to reject Lauren Book’s proposed amendments and vote in favor of DiCeglie’s amendment to strike the “red letter” law from the bill.
This has been asked in comments on other posts: Has FAC or any other groups in Florida gotten in touch with the ACLU to file an injunction, so we can have the time to fight this in court?
If not, does anyone know how we go about soliciting the ACLU for help?
Most of these cases are family related and NOT stranger danger cases as the narrative suggest. This green fluorescent tag and red DL, is very irresponsible. It destroys the lives of those on the list and puts their family and young children in extreme danger.
No child involved in many of the stings.
And I myself got caught in the first sting. And in my case, I stumbled upon the site. I was looking for adult but certainly didn’t expect to see what I saw.
Everyone makes mistakes and stuff like just is like being a big bully picking on others and not giving them a chance to amend their wrongs and become productive members of society. They just get their little joys on picking on others.
We need better leadership who understands and wants to help those who went wrong.
Senator Lauren Book is a [moderated]. She knows perfectly that time has proven the registry ineffective and useless. It is clear that more people have been harmed by the registry than if it had never existed. This includes the murder of registrants and untold pain and suffering of the families of those listed!
Certainly it has caused more harm to children than no registry at all! To continue to push this farce is directly placing innocent children in harms way. Doesn’t Lauren Book care? It appears she does not actually care about children at all (or is very selective about which ones)!
Why would Lauren want this? Does she really love money more than children’s safety? I think that the answer is a clear YES! Time for her to end her rain of [moderated], take her [moderated] money and disappear!
I think that in some cases the public should be aware but then like everyone else should be allowed to redeem themselves from their wrongs. If they did something dangerous or harmful let the law watch them and work with them to help them understand the redeem. Otherwise it’ll get to a point we all could be victims of a lone vigilantly with an age to grind. That’s what concerns me the most is that someone will feel it’s OK to kill someone because of their past actions. I met several people in jail with this mindset and that’s scary.
Society needs to be more tolerant and understand not everyone is a dangerous person.
I am a classroom teacher. My personal life has been kept private until now. Based upon the information in the legislation, my car will also have the fluorescent green tag since my husband and I both own the vehicle. How can I park my vehicle in the school parking lot without facing public scrutiny? Students and parents will talk and spread false information. How can I maintain a professional stand in the community when my private life will be dismembered and opinions formed about me? When I married my husband, there was only the registration and we dealt with that when we moved to a new neighborhood. But this will directly target me. I am beyond saddened and fear that I may need to look for a new career if this goes into effect.
Write that exactly to these people:

Tell them it will have unintended consequences
I think the green licenses plates and the red lettering is obviously unconstitutional by doing this it will have more harm then good you will have more crime going against family members.
They want sex offenders to go on with there life how can they if people keep harassing them and changing the laws make there life worse.
Especially sex offenders with Autism who don’t understand there situation of what they have done and ones that are first offenders and trying to improve there life. I think the legislature should vote against both bills.
