It never ceases to amaze me how officials and other try to bamboozle everyone about these laws, so here we will hopefully allow those willing to listen to see the holes in the logic touted by these officials and others. Now watch the highlighting and comments!

Officials Try To Find Out If Offenders Are Accounted For
MIAMI -- Miami-Dade police and parole officers joined the Miami-Dade Homeless Trust Monday night to canvass the area under the Julia Tuttle Causeway.
The goal was to conduct an accurate census of the population that’s sprung up in the makeshift tent city.
Local 10’s Julie Summers was on hand as agents conducted their patrol and questioned sex offenders.
According to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s Web site, even Monday, Aug. 24, one more sex offender registered his address as the “Julia Tuttle Causeway” bringing the total now to 64.
But the worry is that far fewer than that are actually there.
“If they are not there, they are somewhere where we cannot keep track of them. And that should be a scary concern for the public,” said Ron Book of the Miami-Dade Homeless Trust.
The concern is that any sex offender who is registered under the bridge but actually lives elsewhere is putting children at risk – because families in that neighborhood won’t know to be on alert.
“Can you imagine a community with a bundle of sex offenders and predators running loose in a community? Without anybody knowing where they are?” said Book.
Mr. Book: A census is only done at night because that is the ONLY time registrants are supposed to be there! Lets says a "NIGHT" is six hours, that means the other 18 hours registrants COULD be running loose in various communities; perfectly LEGAL! So, for 18 hours of the day, no one knows where they are. OK Mr. Book, how does your census and numbers protect communities 24 hours a day? OR, do they only protect communities for 6 hours a day? Bamboozled means what?
Which is why working by the numbers under the bridge is key, he said.
“If I’m working off bad numbers , I never get to closure!”
Closure, Book explained, would be eventually closing down the tent city and getting offenders into apartments and homes where they can be tracked and children can be safe. ..Source.. by JustNews.com
Mr Book needs to explain how, having registrants living in apartments and homes, would be any different than under the bridge, as to tracking and protecting the public as he claims. I'm all ears...and willing to learn.

This is a setup for total failure. The Homeless Trust says, they will pay the first months rent.
These guys are largely unemployeed. After 1 month they will have to leave and not be allowed to return to the Causeway. What then?
I can guarentee you those on parole/probation will be violated. Those off paper will be charged with "failure to register, or some other charge which will result in a felony! A long prison term will result.
I agree! I also think that Mr. Book and his think tank are banging their heads together in an effort to try and manipulate a situation that would result in a situation resulting in the "justifiable" and "ligitimate" re-incarceration of the entire Causeway populas!!!
