FAC Attorneys File Objections in Seminole Lawsuit

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.

    This was to be expected. Another setback, another delay. This fight is equal to many yet to face. Time is the sacrifice. We can and will face injustice for as long they have biases that justifies this illegal social pactice of fear. We will prevail.

    I’m glad to hear that you are fighting the denial. This government tactic cannot be allowed to succeed.
