Today, Florida Institutional Legal Services Project of Florida Legal Services, our attorneys in the Seminole Proximity Ordinance Challenge, filed Objections to the Magistrate’s Order Denying Plaintiff’s (FAC’s) Motion for Protective Order.

Essentially, this pleading objects to the Magistrate Judge’s Order ruling that FAC Members, specifically; registered citizens in Seminole County who are impacted by the Proximity Ordinance, could not proceed anonymously and asks the District Court judge to make a formal ruling on the matter.

As registered citizens (or family or friends of registrants), we all have experience being harassed, threatened, intimidated and even physically harmed just because our name is on the shaming list. That harassment doesn’t only come at the hands of vigilantes, but at the hands of probation and police, so you can imagine how scary and intimidating it would be to put your name out there as a plaintiff trying to challenge the law.

That is our point and that’s what we hope the District Judge will be able to see.
