Florida Career Offender Registration Act Faces Constitutional Challenge.
June 17th, 2017. Volusia County Florida.
Volusia County Florida Resident Submits Claim that Florida Career Offender Registration act Violates the Constitution.
Florida's Career Offender Registration Act, Implemented into Law in the year 2002 will soon come under fire to determine if it is Constitutionally Sound For the First Time Since it's Inception into Law.
Unlike the Numerous Sex Offender Registration Laws that have withstood Constitutional Scrutiny for some time now, Florida's Career Offender Registration Law is not based on an Offender's Crime,but on the Fact that an Offender has had an Enhanced Sentence Imposed upon them for Certain Type Repeated Offenses.
The Legislature of Florida Claims that this Law is Not a "Punishment,"but merely a "Status" given to Certain Offenders because of the Virtue of their Criminal Histories.
So a "Status" imposed because of another "Status" that has already been imposed.
And Failure to Comply with this Law is Punishable by up to 5 years in Prison as a 3rd Degree Felony.
This Challenge will be addressed in Volusia County Florida,Circuit Court Criminal,in the Case of The State of Florida v. Christian Mosco.
After 8 years of not having any unlawful charges against him, the State charged
Mr. Mosco in 2014 with Failing to Comply with the Requirements of The Career
Offender Registration Act After He was informed by a Volusia County Sheriff's
Office Employee that He Need not Register as a Career Offender any longer and
in July 2015 Mr Mosco was Sentenced to a 2 year Term of Community Control
Probation and Adjudicated Guilty of a New 3rd Degree Felony.
Now after Serving Successfully His Term of Probation, Mr. Mosco has Filed an
Appeal Attacking the Constitutional Soundness of Florida Statute 775.261.
