September 9, 2018 10:15 amHere in Florida registration of all Social Media Accounts are required. Passwords per say are not! But you must register e-mail, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram (latter 2 Registrants not allowed) and any and all Social Media accounts. Any account can be obtained by Law Enforcement in Florida FDLE gives the registrant a special page to register all information, updates etc. And upon re-registration you are asked to verify that information with DOC Records. Again a password you used to start any Social Media account is not specifically asked for here in Florida. But again if a LEA has reasonable cause to access your accounts they must do so through the actual providers of those accounts. Also in Florida your e-mail is used by Law Enforcement to update the registrant to changes in laws and any changes to your information. JEV “True Confessions” NARSOL Newsletter Contributor

September 9, 2018 5:08 pmA year for not giving a password. That’s not as bad as it could have been according to the article, but still it demonstrates that another purpose of our sex offender laws is to be a handy little legal booby traps. The truth is society does not want us among them to begin with so any of the flimsiest of excuses to lock us back up a calendar at a time is just fine with most.
They are there to let the state or federal government lock registered citizens up on the most frivolous grounds; things that would never hold up for any other class of former felons or citizens at large. The sex offender laws are a carte blanche to allow registrants to be harassed and bullied by the state at every turn.

September 9, 2018 5:21 pmWouldn’t the ruling against homeless sex offenders make it easy for these registration officers to come up with all sorts of bull crap reasons to refuse to let people register just so they can list them as “non-compliant” and result in registrants being outright maliciously arrested?
