The colony of homeless sex offenders in Miami-Dade County is once again being moved… 100 yards to the east!
After several months of complaining that over 100 registrants were
sent to live in his parking lot, the owner of Adolfo’s House Beauty
Supply received the concession from local police, who evicted the
approximately 133 registrants living transient at the corner of NW 71st
Street and 36th Court on Wednesday night.
Registrants were told that they would no longer be able to stay there
at night and would be subject to arrest for trespassing if they were
found there the following night.
Yesterday morning, registrants began making frantic calls to their
probation officers asking what to do. Most are on GPS monitoring devices
and if they are not at that street corner, they would similarly be
subject to arrest.
The Miami-Dade probation office’s solution was to move them one block
over. 100 yards to the east, which is the street corner where they
spent their night last night. Within the next 48 hours 133 registrants
will be scrambling to get their drivers licenses updated, as required by
law, to “transient at 71st and 35th” instead of “71st and 36th”, paying
the $25 fee for the address change and jeopardizing their employment to
get it done.
… until the Miami-Dade Sex Offender Shuffle moves them elsewhere.
Florida
Action Committee (FAC), founded in 2006, is a state-wide consortium
of concerned citizens and professionals whose purpose is to promote the
prevention of sexual abuse while preserving the safety and dignity of all
citizens through carefully structured laws targeting the truly violent, forced,
and/or dangerous predatory acts of sex. FAC believes that many aspects of the
current approach to sex offenders seriously undermine justice and actually
increase the threat of sexual assault against others, particularly children.
FAC opposes a publicized registry of sex offenders and seeks to bring an end to
the humiliation of people who have already paid for their crimes. FAC asserts
that only by supporting justice for all people—offenders and victims alike can
a truly safe society be built and secured for all Americans.
