Miami-Dade to hear Bovo Amendment tomorrow

Dec 12, 2017 | 3 comments

Tomorrow, the Miami-Dade County Public Safety and Health Committee will consider a proposed amendment to the county’s “overnight camping” ordinance, which effectively enables police officers to arrest transient sex offenders on sight. More about the proposed change can be found here: https://floridaactioncommittee.org/miami-dade-commissioners-want-cops-to-arrest-homeless-sex-offenders-on-sight/

Our President, Gail, who was planning to speak on our behalf, was called out of state when her son was involved in a car accident. She will not be able to attend.

    this looks like a law that would overrides vagrancy law in the state.?
    That I think that an individual with out the means overnight accommodation or lodging con not be arrested for vagrancy.
    it may be something to look at.
