In reply to goose. Goose The good AND surprising news is, for some doggone reason, the FDLE had my back and told the officers they could make me leave but that I had not committed a crime by just walking through a field across from a school. It was a weekend and the school was not even open on weekends. I agreed to leave but geez, 4 or 5 officers must have been really bored that day because there didn't seem to be any other crime, or none at all since I did not commit a crime.

In reply to CherokeeJack. Wait, so law enforcement flipped out about parking in a public lot across the street from a school, on a weekend...when children aren't in school?? Yep. Sounds about right.

I wish they would stop calling them “operations” because they’re not! More like drive-by mob hits if you ask me. But no, they have to call them Operation: “insert dumb and tired troupe here” to manufacturer credibility and so-called “urgency” to sell this public safety slop to the public.

The cops are just frustrated they can’t put us all in jail for just breathing so doing these carnival side-shows is all they got. Of course it’s about hate and not protecting children.

It actually gives me a tremndous amount of joy that Glass blew a gasket. So what does he do? The same thing a schoolyard bully does, start a tit for tat campaign while thumping they’re chest with a I’ll show them” mantra. .

If they want one of us bad enough, they can make something up. That happened to me about a year ago. Five patrol cars drove towards me and surrounded me. They had scanned my license plate parked across the street from a school. I was not at the school but at a lot that is parking for anyone across from the school that has nothing to do with the school.

I was detained for 2 hours while they tried to get ahold of the FDLE because it was weekend. Once all the details were forwarded, surprisingly, the FDLE had my back and told local law enforcement that I had done nothing wrong, but they had the right to ask me to leave, which I did.

Now tell me how they are protecting the public from someone who just wants a parking spot. I have said over and over again, they want to arrest as many as they can so we can never be removed from registration, and hope that some of us could be sent back to prison.

BTW, while they send 6 officers to spend two hours harassing a registered person, meanwhile a store is being robbed, there is a shooting somewhere, a car has crashed into a house, a home invasion is taking place and you get the picture.

I agree that in all likelihood this was an act of retaliation for the lawsuit. But I also think there’s an element of trying to rack up the easy felony arrests while they’re available. It’s total speculation on my part, but I’m guessing the sheriff had been advised by his staff or county attorney that, after reading the complaint, this suit has a pretty good shot at prevailing, at least in part.

Let’s not forget that most cops and deputies absolutely LOOOOVE felony arrests and in turn, registry rules and the ability to manipulate almost anything into a violation.

appears to be retaliatory but crafted in a way to use deniability. The sheriff is no fool, he won’t target the names listed on the case directly as it would be to clear to even a blind judge as retaliatory.. arresting 50 or so RSO for violations that amount to simple clerical errors like not dotting I’s or crossing t’s is another story. He can simply smirk and say “nuthin personal folks, Just doing my job”… childish but expect worse before better.

Not asking FAC to answer this, but it would not surprise me if some of the PFRs who filed declarations for the lawsuit were specifically targeted by FDLE/Sheriff Staley.
