It’s Confirmed: recent “compliance checks” were an “operation”

We have received a spike in comments and contacts from people who have had address verifications, many of which involving multiple jurisdictions over the last two weeks. We suspected it was part of one of these “operations” taking place in certain counties, such as Brevard, Bay and others. You know the ones… Its where they round up a bunch of people, mostly on petty technical violations, and then put out press releases such as the one in Bay County where they announce “Operation Watchdog” arrests 37 people in sex offender sting.

Only these are not, for the most part, new sex offenses. These are mostly technical violations, such as not registering a broken down trailer in a backyard. And for the 29 people who were arrested for a technical violation, such as not registering a trailer, they (as you can see from the below press conference) want “Take this element out of our communities”

Oh and naturally this is a “joint operation” between local, police, the FDLE, the US Marshals, Department of Homeland Security…

In the media it’s called “click bait”, in this case it’s Federal Grant bait.

    How the heck is the legal? Why is a certain group of people being targeted without reasonable suspicion warrantlessly. This is double jeopardy it’s entrapment, due process violations, freedom of speech amendment violations. So they make up some frivolous law linked to your past crime which attaches to your vessel for life in which you are prompted to act against your will at a certain time and place you don’t want to be mirroring probation, paying fees to register and fuel to transport and the opportunity cost of driving 30 minutes each way and sitting for hours where your then your forced to speak, forced to self incriminate, forced to be compentant enough to double check what the registering sheriff is entering then they investigate you based on that information, then them self make amenable mistakes on the arresting documents but we can’t have a laps of judgement, we can’t be human and can’t over site or rest without fear of prosecution for not surrendering your free will and doing what your forced to do and say. There is not opting out. This is no different than probation you have to answer everything truthfully then they check on what you told them. Then to top it all off they use the charge that created the new arbitrary law you just violated to enhance the punishment for violating that law, sanction, punishment, collateral consequences prompting. I don’t think it’s anything more than retribution. But it’s a third degree felon which doesn’t even score out to jail on first offense but using your prior on the score sheet your going to jail or prison if you don’t surrender your freedom with a few years probation, monitor, attorney and court fees and FDOC fees and the laws aren’t even based on probability only unsubstantiated “absolutions” that you are a danger of some sort. That’s what they are telling the public. By us going down there and giving the info is us proving by compelled speech we must be in fact some kinda danger to them or why would we do it?

    The only kids I see in danger is the ones who’s dads are put in jail who’s going todo without because of these cost and dad not being there to protect their household. By mom having to come up with the ends to put food on the table, pay the rent and light bills. The only adults I see in danger is the dad going to jails fir sleeping with a minor when he was 20 and is now 50 and is looked up during a phone call by another inmate in the same dorm and sees “sex offender”. This is real facts. That dude not registering a tag

    This is for FAC eyes only as this information may assist in current or future litigation, or… Post if you like 😁*

    Could we use the fact that certain counties are making it a point to conduct compliance checks, the frequency, the funding for, etc… where others are not be used against them? Meaning, it’s being used as a political gain where it’s demonstrated by research and facts that no new crimes are being committed/discovered by these “operations?” Therefore showing the levels of harassment by the local law enforcement…

    Just a thought.

    These organizations are gunning after the wrong people (for the most part) but isn’t that why counties like Brevard keep there ordinances “vague” in order to do things like this?
    They should be ashamed!!

    DHS & USMS want to “take this element out of our communities”?

    That makes no sense.

    FAC Legal, if they are this explicit about their motivation for enforcing compliance — to “take this element out of our communities”— is that useful evidence in ex post facto +?

    This is why certain parties don’t want monies going to the people in the form of healthcare, food, housing the homeless, and proper education: they’d rather use it to sew discord among the proles and build a local military style police force. YOU can’t suck off the government’s teat because WE are.

    Are these types of harassing operations happening anywhere outside of Florida on a regular basis?
