This is no joke – these laws ACTUALLY passed the first phase in becoming law in Florida (A state known for its rigid sex offender laws)
Tell me what you think about these laws.
Which ones do you think are a good idea?
Which ones do you think cross the line?
Remember, these are BLANKET laws. It doesn’t matter what you did to get on the sex offender registry. If these laws pass – they will affect ALL registered sex offenders in Florida.
1) The “lottery winning” law – says that if a registered sex offender wins the lottery, the winnings will be donated to a charity to stop abuse to children.
2) The “salary cap” law – says that if a registered sex offender makes over $50,000 per year, they will be forced to donate the excess earnings to a charity to stop abuse to children.
3) The “neon license plate” law – says all vehicles registered to a sex offender will have to put a neon license plate on their care signifying the car belongs to a registered sex offender.
4) The “T-shirt” law – says a registered sex offender MUST wear a T-shirt once a week saying he is a registered sex offender (do I hear scarlet letter?).
5) The “diaper changing” law – says a child of a registered sex offender MUST have their diaper changed while being supervised. If it is in the middle of the night and is an emergency, the registered sex offender MUST go to the nearest emergency room to change the diaper.
6) Last but not least (I can’t believe they took this one seriously, but apparently they did because it passed the first phase) – the “euphemization” law – says that when a registered sex offender reaches the age of 62 ½ (ironically the age that they can start receiving social security benefits) they will be euphemized (put do death) because they are no longer of use to society.
