FAC Initiates Complaint Against Brevard Commissioners to Florida Attorney General
After our three letters to Brevard County Commissioners and numerous letters from members went ignored, FAC has now written to Florida’s Attorney General requesting she enforce Florida’s Governing in the Sunshine Law against the Commissioners of Brevard County. The Commissioners were clearly put on notice that they cannot exclude members of the public from their County Commission meetings at which official business is conducted.

Brevard County Sheriff’s Office arrested a RO for violating the ordinance for eating at a Burger King he had frequented before. This location it turns out was less than 1000 feet from a daycare that was located INSIDE a gym. The daycare had no signage to say it was there. Obviously someone called BSCO to intentionally report/harass this guy. I don’t know what the outcome was for him but the Sheriff’s Office and SA’s office deemed it important enough to follow through.
Made a donation today to the legal fund so we can fight this. It’s a fatal ordinance for RO’s on probation when violated because it violates the “you shall live without violating any laws” condition on their probation conditions.
If and when it’s determined that we can attend Commission meetings I’ll be there.
Gail,
Your letter to the attorney general was well written.
Thank you so much what you do for us and FAC.

Yes great job Gail, thanks.
Might be a good idea to send to the paper serving brevard county which is the Florida Today paper. Maybe they would get involved and bring it to notice.
please feel free to do so
Done. You may get a call from the “Criminal justice” reporter. A Mr. Gallop for further information request.
I guess the “Justice Writer” of the FL Today paper does not care about our justice (or injustice) as I see no article or any further diligence was performed by him and I have heard nothing since he said he would look into the letter you wrote.
DONATE….donate….donate. Donate to the legal fund even $5, it matters.
Also remember, matching funds for the non-registrant collateral challenge going on now! That is huge!
FAC, we appreciate you!!!!
It’s obvious the restrictions have absolutely nothing to do with protecting children or anyone else. But all the finger pointing and screaming in the world will do nothing for they know they are above the law and even if there breaking state laws nothing will happen to them. The only thing they understand is money. Unless they can be sued a 7 figure amount at least they are just going to laugh at all the allegations in the world, and go on business as usual.
Gail, excellent letter of intent. I would suggest also a Writ of Mandamus, which is designed to compel government officials to follow the law and makes such violations of law public court record. In addition, a filing of injunction to enjoin Brevard county from enforcing thier ordinance against registrants for attending public meetings while suit is being procecuted.
Your suggestion is well-taken but legal action requires funds to bring it.
