What rock do these people live under? This red lettering only makes the situation worse, do they honestly believe “our children” are safer because of this red lettering?
Everyone goes along with it because they think it sounds good & is the right thing to do. Why doesn’t this group of jolly people do the right thing??
These people are twisted. Can we say,”Lawsuit”?
They are ill-informed. These CTAs are helping. But as a community we can do more throughout the year getting info to them. The things a couple of them said, they either see us as unfixable monsters, or they are really just pandering hoping to get a spot on the news. They would NOT be able to say those things if we had someone up there speaking the facts to them. We seem to be too late on that. As cynical as I can be, even I believe we could stop something like this in committee with a couple advocates at the podium informing with the facts, rebutting lies, and telling the human stories.
I personally think that we will have a very good chance of getting this struck down in court if it passes. Not only is there a federal case out of Alabama that calls into question the constitutionality of this bill (along with persuasive although not binding precedent from the Louisiana Supreme Court), the Florida Constitution has a specifically enumerated right to privacy, which might also be fertile ground for a challenge in state court. Since the right to privacy is specifically enumerated in the Florida Constitution, laws that infringe on it must be narrowly tailored to meet a compelling government interest. Making the entire license red is not narrowly tailoring but shouting with a blowhorn.
I think I read about this one time it went “ when the blind follow the blind both will fall into the pit “
I agree 100%.
The representatives opening remark that the bill would have no negative public impact is also false. The tax payers of fl. Will be impacted by having to flip thr bill for legal expenses on a suit thr state can’t win….precedent has already been established in the 11th circuit [moderator: citation needed].
Secondly, thr state has no business in vetting potential tenants for landlords, that responsibility is on their shoulders.
LoL, while 1 and only 1 representative questioned the motive for the change, she really didn’t note anything other than some people have been wrongfully convicted. No other states lawsuits, no other courts proceedings and rulings, etc. In the end, she still voted yes. Than you had another male representative ask if they can make it bigger, as if it hasn’t already been done already! The whole reasoning presented, was a big load of crap, and he knew it.
So … how long until ‘unique identifier” license plates in Florida??
And when does the forehead tattooing begin??
Am I wrong?? 🤷🏻♂️
@David
Don’t give Floriduh any ideas.
