more than likely a really stupid question, but.... when you say 'parks', is that all parks? state and national too? or just city, municipal or county parks?

Remember to check with the state where you are planning to relocate the rules are different about registration - for example, in some states when you are ON paper and you relocate the new state follows to rules of the original state but some do not - but it is the same for after paper - in some states if you are required to register for life in your convicting state the new state will require it also but some do not - they asses you and apply the system that exists in the new state - ask - write or call. In my experience i have gotten fairly quick answers to my questions -

Every time I hear about a registered citizen relocating to FL i always think they must not have done their research

Coastie - hope you are healing well! I know you said do not ask but now my curiosity is peaked!

The only residency restrictions in Wisconsin are at the local municipal level.

In Minnesota mine was going to be off after 20 years, but we moved to Wisconsin. There, any time they get in trouble again, the registry is added onto, or starts over. You don't want to live in Wisconsin. We wish we never had.

If you didn't live here already, you do not want to move here, mainly because once you are on the registry here for life, it will follow you forever and they will demand their $100 extortion fee yearly from you, no matter where you live.

California RSOL has a spreadsheet with the registration and residency law data for all 50 states and it is pretty up to date.

Arizona is bad! Trust me! Not a good state to live in! We're getting out as soon as probation is finished!

@skybloopnk
Arizona actually has one of the fewest restrictions of any state. You need to read the laws here.

First of all there are absolutely NO "presence" restrictions (that is once you are off-paper) here in Arizona.
You are not banned from being anywhere.
Secondly, the only time "residency" restrictions apply to S.O.'s here are when the registrant is a Level 3 AND has a "dangerous crime against children" charge. Those are reserved for the worst of the worst.

Arizona Law forbids individual cities from enacting their own residence restrictions that are greater then the state law. So it is not like California where all the cities have their own laws. (Which are pretty much being struck down now anyway.)

Thirdly, the "Public" registry is reserved for only Level 2's and Level 3's. Level 1's are not publicly known.

Fourthly, you are NOT required to "keep" checking in annually for the registration here. Once you are registered to your address, you are not required to re-register unless you move.

Hope that helps.

That is some very interesting information about AZ... Thank you for sharing!

Skybloopnk i I am curious why you are saying AZ is really bad from from the sound of it the laws are fairly lenient?

Well I think skybloopnk is talking about all the insane restrictions that come from being on probation. I have been on probation here in AZ and the rules are ridiculous and harsh. But the actual state laws here are not too bad.

Also I have a question about all of this from those more learned than I - I was looking at the compiled list that Once had posted the link to above - and while looking at Fl it brought to mind something that I have been meaning to ask. My son was adjudicated in 2010 - at that time (I had been told and looked) FL only had laws about SOs that covered while they were on paper - the other restrictions were local ordinances to cover after supervision. However, recently I was dismayed when I looked at the state of FL laws about residency restrictions becasue they no longer said anything about while on supervision (it now just includes all people that were convicted (except those caught in the stings) - So here are my questions

According to the list Once posted the law about restrictions in FL was enacted in 2012 - does that mean that it does not apply to my son becasue he was adjudicated in 2010? I know he would still have to follow the local laws in any case. The other questions is does this mean that these living restrictions etc. for SOs are part of the FL Constitution? I ask becasue in CA where some restrictions were overturned by the court it was becasue they were local laws not included in the Constitution (I think that is the way it worked?)

Ct doesn't have any restrictions.

Really Frog? Good to know - i will have to look that up CT is a nice state
