But yet they take migrants / illegals and put them in a camp for un-determined time with no lawyers, no representation or rights. And many of the people they have rounded up were U.S citizens, some that were even actually born here. So, it appears that laws are only for the elite.

I compare that to the registry a bit because many of us were retro-actively applied to the registry with also not getting any say, appeal or justice. No hearings or anything with no way off (At least at the time of its creation)

We have the bill of rights, but they need to add a bill of wrongs because, well you know.

This will be struck down by the courts. Just another example of showboating.

This could dramatically affect the way Florida prosecutors and the courts use Score Sheets. Put simply, getting convicted of the pre-trial violation charge(s) will likely increase the defendant’s criminal history score as applied to his/her subsequent convictions, if any.

In reply to James.

Have you been paying attention? The registry Mafia does what they want, not what is right, legal or morally correct. Zero compassion, zero second chances, and little chance to recover from the registry and it’s every growing punishments, add on’s and restraints. With each new legislation session, they come up with more and more fun things to mess with us and take away more rights (As if we had any rights at all according to their behavior)
I now understand the saying “No justice, no peace”. Having said that, if we protested like that other group did, we would all be arrested. I try and live a normal life but each time I pass a patrol car, I make sure to turn in case it is that “One cop” who runs everyone’s license plates and pulls people over, just because they can. Believe me, I have been pulled over before just because my tag was read and it involved an hour on the side of the road in the summer heat while law enforcement called FDLE to see if I could be arrested for no reason that driving to the store.

I cannot fathom where this would pass constitutional muster. As for instance the violation of pretrial release AKA BOND that is Constitutionally protected, could result in a criminal conviction even with acquittal from the original charge. Since the original charge is a necessary element of this crime it directly violates Due Process.

Doesn’t this effectively give judges the ability to write new criminal law, albeit in limited circumstances? I don’t see how this could pass constitutional muster.

Would this not be a form of double jeopardy?

Ahhhhh yes, Florida is genuinely a prison state.

In reply to JJJJ. Under this law, it's possible.

It would truly be ironic if a person violated a pretrial release condition and was charged with a felony and then was later aquitted of the original charge(s)!
