Florida’s 2nd DCA says Police Sting entrapped Defendant

Jason DeMare went on an ADULT website and initiated contact with AN ADULT. For days, they chatted and flirted while he believed the woman was 18, but on the fourth day she told him she was 14. She was neither 14 nor 18 and she was not a flirty female but an undercover officer. Each time DeMare tried to steer the conversation away from sex, the officer tried to steer it back. Each time he said he was not interested in a sexual relationship with a minor, the officer kept cajoling him and calling him chicken.

Sound familiar? It’s pretty much the playbook for these “stings”/”scams” run by Florida police departments. When I first heard some members tell me this story, I thought “yeah right”, but when I heard the same story over, and over, and over and read the transcripts in Trey Gennette’s case, I couldn’t believe law enforcement would get away with this and just how often they used these tactics to bait and switch someone into a manufactured felony.

When I asked why they took the plea? it was always because they were threatened with decades in prison if they didn’t.

There have been a few brave souls who put their foot down and took their chances in court. One such brave soul is DeMare. You can read his decision here:

DeMare v. Florida

If your situation is similar… maybe we should coordinate victims of these scams and expose the law enforcement “stings” that entrapped them?

    Here is the deal and it is simple,

    Anything that makes the State money is “legal”, and let me explain.

    I was a contractor for the following county courthouses in Florida, Volusia, Polk, Sarasota, Broward, Brevard, Lake, and Dade.

    My contract work was to install the necessary wiring inside courtrooms and the building itself so that they could place microphones everywere. So if you think that you and your attorney can have “priviledged” conversations, guess what, most of your conversations are also recored inside the building without your knowledge.

    I did this contract work for about 20 years, and I since I had the priviledge of being a trusted contractor I got to learn a fuck load of corruption behind that bench and how they made money off of people.

    I got tired and also scared of their latests scams in 2011. So I quit and went off to start my own company. And guess what. With my new company the State DBPS began threatening me and forced me to close my business, immediately after that they tracked me and set me up with this nonsence.

    I WILL EXPOSE THEM eventually, but trust when I say that they will look for me.

    And since nobody wants to help us, well, when I receive asylum from another country and begin exposing this and many other crimes commited against citizens don’t go crying.

    This Comment is directed to you and others!

    It took me 8 years to obtain my real evidence and transcripts which for me was after the fact. In Polk County, Elmer Fudd was and has been able to manipulate the System by doing what is called ‘overlays’ in which he uses a ‘Template’ of sorts to filter information and uses that to Manufacture Lies and Crimes on the defendant. It took years and over $10K in legal fees (which was very reasonable, considering) to sue Verizon in order to obtain the REAL INFORMATION; and then at the last minute, WE GOT THE INFO, before going to TRIAL!…go figure!

    In my particular case in Polk County, as well as OTHER HUNDREDS of Innocent Men, were PUT in the Same Template; their names were changed; the dates and times* were changed’ The same ‘DIALOGUEs were cut and pasted…. What screwed them was ‘THEY’ forgot about Day Light Savings time* etc when the sheriff’s deputy duplicated the template….There is the KICKER…..WE have waited years from a response from good ole grady, ELMER FUDD, and THEY WILL NOT RESPOND……So that is the BIG Problem…To really find a Flori-DUH based Law firm to have the balls to challenge ‘THIS SATAN’, well good luck on that as NONE to date will accept this challenge!

    Perhaps, Ms Gail and others can find the right group of legal eagles to fight this, as this case will basically overturn many political graves

    Pls let us know if anyone else can guide this thing out of the River Muck!

    Make it a Safe and Healthy Fourth of July..
    Which is supposed to be a Day of Independence!….I am crossing my fingers!

      The contents of the record doesn’t concern me. The end result does. Those few who have been arrested for either of those crimes not related to a ICAC sponsored sting and those who were.
      There was a time when the media was paid to and gleefully posted full listings of those arrested. Is that still a thing? I will not watch local “news”.
      So again, those arrested via ICAC sting ops vs those who were not.
      Any information beyond that isn’t necessary.

    I was also entrapped by a sting in 06 and was made an example of from the state. Out of 34 people arrested I was one of the few that went to prison. My mistake was hiring a lawyer that wasn’t part of the good ole boys club in fort Meyers. I lost everything after prison, my children, my family, everything I owned was gone. To this day 15 years later I am still suffering, no one will hire me, and I feel stuck in this state. The prison was a nightmare. Being abused by the DOC police was worse than the abuse I took from other inmates. They kept moving me from camp to camp until finally, I was able to be placed at a protective custody camp. The whole ordeal was a nightmare. Not only was I entrapped but since this was done by a vigilante group and dateline NBC, it was run over and over again especially during my trial. I ran out of money during my appeal and suffered. since being released I have held few jobs until they found out about my prison stay by the vigilante group and subsequently fired. If there was a way to go after the state and all of the money makers in the prison sting industry, count me in.

    So
    What can we who were in this sting do about it? I mean him getting his case overturned is great but what can the rest of us do?

    Whenever everyone decides to expose the truth about these “stings” in adult sites, let me know.

    I think we should ALL together file a Class Action Lawsuit against the sponsor to this stings, which I believe it is the State.

    Unless we ALL get together on this to expose the corruption, nothing is going to get done.

      The stings are there for one reason. Too make the revenue collection easy for states to fund their draconian methods. The registry is easy picking for law enforcement and unscrupulous strollers to threaten or harm those of us on that registry. Dont believe the hype that registration is not punishment. It certainly is.

      Want a way to de fund these operations do you?

      Step one:
      Contact your county courthouse and do a records search for anyone arrested for either soliciting a child for sex online or traveling to meet a child after solicitation, or both.

      Step two:
      Go through said records (they will be arrest reports) to check for duplicates and then sort out those arrested as the result of a sting. There will be a few left over that were NOT sting related. Take note of where initial contact was first made, online vs offline for the non sting arrests.

      Note that the Florida Statute for traveling wasn’t codified until ’07. In my research I found an overwhelming number of arrests occurred after an ICAC was introduced to that county. Feel like comparing notes? I’ll be more than happy to assist.

      The numbers should speak for themselves.

        SC et al – I am making a petition on change.org – can you send me your statistics when you did this research? I have also made a forum on ‘citizens against proactive stings’ website (CAPS.US.ORG). I have blogged about this for two years now, and it’s time to move this to the next level!

      I was trapped during an online sting, there was no underage victim but a PO that got his kicks by pretending to be an underage girl. I received phone calls from unknown numbers to meet. They would call and not say anything. I accepted the plea just to make it all end. but it never did, did it?

        Oh and I don’t recall writing most of the conversation they presented as evidence.

    I would like a group with FAC help or not to delve in and find and expose the county, state , and federal agencies that are pushing the cash flow that funds the abusive entrapment projects.
