FL- Homeless sex offender arrested for failing to update driver's license with address

This is beyond stupid and a complete waste of taxpayer money and discriminatory in that non sex offender drivers who fail to update their addresses are never held accountable for failing to do so. Further, this is proof that the Probation Officer's intent is not to help the probationer properly reintegrate into society, but to further punish on technicalities.

4-8-2009 Florida:

FORT WALTON BEACH -- A registered sex offender has been living under the Brooks Bridge and failed to update his driver's license with his new address, according to an Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office incident report.

Cedric Demond Hall, who is 31, had been living at the Colonial Drive Apartments. He was convicted in June 2001 of lewd and lascivious battery on a child younger than 15, according to the report.

He had reported to his probation officer and to the sheriff's offfice that he was no longer living at those apartments and was homeless as of March 12. He was contacted under the bridge on March 23.

As of March 24, he had not updated his driver's license. His status required him to update his driver's license within 24 hours of a move.

The probation officer contacted the deputy and stated that Hall had violated his probation for failing to update his driver's license address within 48 hours of a change of address. Hall was arrested, according to the report. ..News Source.. by Wendy Victora, Daily News
