How did the “public” get access to the arrest records of people who were never convicted of a crime in the first place?

“We all know how difficult it is to convict a sex offender…” – Pam Bondi

Really? Because what I saw during my case in 1991 was that it was almost too easy for you wackos to ruin my life for something I didn’t do with no evidence whatsoever but the word of one person. You people were just putting me through the motions of inevitability. Then, you decided that even a withheld adjudication equated to a conviction, even though it’s not. Willfully ignorant lawmakers will do ANYTHING to push an agenda so they can build their next campaign. It’s not about the laws and rules so much as the politics. If she supports these laws – loudly and in the absence of any empirical evidence, who could oppose her next run? This truly is an uphill battle.

In reply to Mike.

Here we go with the political stuff – seriously? Not sure why you think Bill Clinton should be a sex offender but that is beside the point. Pam Bondi is a highly overrated scary person. I guarantee there are plenty of shady things going on in that branch of government. However, that does not change the fact that she immediately used the RSO scare tactic to sway public opinion about this Bill. And that is disgusting no matter which side of the political arena one is on. I have always maintained that to take DNA from everyone that is detained or arrested, to keep available to the public records of all arrested (no matter the outcome) is essentially taking away the “innocent until proven guilty” doctrine. No one should be subjected to being treated as guilty in the public until they are proven guilty – period.

Wait! Crooked Pam Bondi who took a $25,000 bribe from Trump to drop the investigation into Trump University? To borrow a phrase from the supporters of the dirtbag who owns her…”LOCK HER UP!!!” The hypocrisy of the various politicians and all the others involved in all this ongoing egregious injustice is beyond belief! Brothers! Yeah, I called you brothers…remember a couple of things that smarter men than I have said. “If you’re going through hell, keep going.” (Sir Winston Churchill) and then from Thomas Paine “Reputation is what men and women think of us; character is what God and angels know of us.” and finally…from another Founding Father and the 3rd president of this nation… “I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever.” and “Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God.” -Thomas Jefferson

What the hell is all the fuss about. A lot of people were ready to elect a president who’s husband should be a sex offender and he would have been the “First Man” or some sort of thing. He used to be our president. Your so damn concerned about public safety, you need to look at your own political friends first……!!!!

SB 118 approved by legislators in Florida! Is someone trying to give me a heart attack? Common sense being exercised! I am assuming that AG Pam Bondi is a lawyer…I’ll try not to hold that against her; I assume she went to law school; I assume that while there they taught that in the United States of America one is innocent until proven guilty…not just accused of being guilty. Was that one of the days she missed class? Of all the problems this state has, she picks out the one that has the least negative impact on society and the most negative impact on individual citizens and their families. What is she thinking or is she even thinking? Has she been sipping the ‘paranoia laced coolade’ so long that it is time for her to return to the real world and be re indoctrinated? It is do-gooder politicians like her that have done far more damage than good to the Florida society.

“…one consequence would be that employers couldn’t check the criminal history of job candidates — for instance, an applicant seeking employment at a daycare center who might have been charged, but not convicted, multiple times for criminal acts against a child.”

Oh, the horror! People who HAVE NOT BEEN CONVICTED of a crime might be able to live their lives in peace.
