Florida Action Committee files major federal constitutional challenge to Florida’s sex offender registry laws
This is a significant development in Florida’s registry landscape.
On August 11, the Florida Action Committee filed a federal lawsuit challenging Florida’s sex offender registration system and related residency/presence restrictions. The complaint argues that the current system has evolved beyond a regulatory scheme and imposes ongoing punishment long after a person has completed their court-ordered sentence.
The lawsuit raises claims involving the **Eighth Amendment, Ex Post Facto Clause, right to interstate travel, Due Process, and First Amendment**.
It’s a long and potentially important case, so I thought it was worth sharing here
