Third Lawsuit Filed This Month Challenging Florida Sex Offender Registry
Another federal lawsuit has been filed challenging the Florida sex offender registry. This one filed in the Middle District of Florida and assigned case number D-FLM-6-18-CV-001731-001.
This suit represents the third constitutional challenge to the state’s sex offender registry filed this month (actually, the second was filed last month and the State removed it to Federal Court this month).
The next couple of months will be very interesting!

In this trying time we want to reiterate a few things for our registrants and families. We don't want there to be any confusion or penalties concerning registry requirements during the Coronavirus Pandemic.
Make sure you know current requirements. You can go to your Sheriff's Office website to see if there is new information there. If so, we suggest you do a screen print and save it. Call your registry office to get clarification on any questions you might have. Document the date, time, who you spoke with and their instructions regarding any address change, vehicle, employment, travel dates if required, etc.
Keep in mind if you are required to update your drivers license annually through the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) you should contact them for their status. Some are limiting the number of people allowed inside and you have to wait to receive a call from them and then come back inside. Document any instructions.
Be safe, be smart, stay healthy and know we will get through this.All information is confidential and we do not distribute any data whatsoever.
