Q: If I leave Fl to live in NY immediately after my release from prison, under 775.261, must I register at DHSMV also?
The DHSMV is closed due to Corona virus. I need to know if I can still leave without incurring criminal charges.
A:
A copy of 775.261 can be found at (http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=0700-0799/0775/Sections/0775.261.html).
DHSMV is available for registering yourself...be careful...A career offender who fails to register; who fails, after registration, to maintain, acquire, or renew a driver license or identification card; who fails to provide required location information or change-of-name information; or who otherwise fails, by act or omission, to comply with the requirements of this section, commits a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.
IF YOU LEAVE FOR NY OR ANY OTHER PLACE WITHOUT REGISTERING YOU WILL BE IN VIOLATION OF THE LAW AND SUBJECT TO PROSECUTION AND PRISON...
