Bovo Amendment Sails Through Miami-Dade County Commission

The “Bovo Amendment” to Miami-Dade County’s Overnight Camping Ordinance that will permit Law Enforcement to arrest homeless sex offenders on sight, sailed through the Miami Dade County Commission meeting today, passing unanimously and without discussion.

We’re not surprised at all.

Hopefully this additional punitive component of the sex offender residency restriction only helps support the argument in the pending lawsuit.

Special thanks to attorney Jeanne Baker, of the ACLU, who appeared to speak before the commission.

    I’m curious what will the court costs be to uphold this new rule, as well as the cost of incarcerating these persons even over night? Seems like it could cost tax payers a lot of cash. Perhaps since Mr. Books has so much money to throw around to get his way with law makers, maybe he will pick up the bill for everybody. Mr. Books stated several years ago after his arrest and conviction that he had done the right thing by admitting his wrong doing, and how he should be allowed to get on with his life. Yet he can’t allow others to do the same, just sad.

      That is so true it just seems that it is us against them but us can’t find any attorneys with a set of Balls and willing to say I am
      Part of the problem ,by not getting fellow attorneys to fight the attorneys that are state minded and are a driving force against the constitution they are sworn to defend
