      I was an OTR trucker an was always wondering if FDLE or LCSO were using my phone as a GPS tracker on me. Good luck now cause I don’t want a cell phone.

    I received my passport today. My attorney had my last passport and he lost it. So he paid me to get a new one and in June I sent in all the necessary documents along with the fee for expedited service.

    No SO markings. My offense happened with an adult however I was still concerned my PP would be marked.

    Seems we’re fighting back.

    Allocco said the need for the changes was brought to his attention after he was contacted by several people who were seeking clarification so they did not run afoul of the ordinance. “They are just trying to do the right thing,” he said.

    Before seeking the changes, Allocco said he conducted an experiment to test the ordinance’s language. Allocco asked one of the concerned parties to contact the Sheriff’s Office to ask a specific question concerning the ordinance. He said the person was told that the answer wasn’t clear and they should contact an attorney. Allocco said he then called and asked the same question to a different person in the Sheriff’s Office and got the same answer. It became apparent that the wording in the ordinance wasn’t clear enough.
    When people want to obey the law but can’t understand it without a lawyer, and law enforcement doesn’t understand it either, it’s a problem. It’s not fair to the people, and it’s not fair to law enforcement officers,” Allocco said.

    What’s the point of posting here? I either get fact checked or my post is not published. What rules did I violate with this post? No moderation? Not publishing at all is censorship.

    “Public school janitor gets sweetheart deal for raping a child. Only 51 months prison followed by 10 years of SO probation. Meanwhile, CP offenders with no “hands-on” victims get decades or a life sentence in
    prison. SMH”

    [Moderator’s note: we do our best not to drag individual offenders’ names through the mud unless it is necessary to demonstrate a larger legal issue. It’s true that some CP cases get more time than some hands-on offenses due to the latter being harder to prove and subject to more favorable plea deals. We also know that sentencing in general can be all over the map, for a variety of reasons. From a 27-video clip, we don’t know the legal specifics, but we do know the perpetrator’s name and face, so we left it out, but people can google it].
