This new law could help us it allows up to $50,000 for the defendant who is able to show new ordinance https://casetext.com/statute/florida-statutes/title-vi-civil-practice-and-procedure/chapter-57-court-costs/section-57112-effective-1012023-attorney-fees-and-costs-and-damages-arbitrary-unreasonable-or-expressly-preempted-local-ordinances. I have yet to see how laws like this are allowed https://www.tampabay.com/news/courts/dunedin-woman-who-stalked-radio-djs-is-sentenced-must-leave-pinellas/1229509/?outputType=amp. Banishment is illegal theses laws amount to banishment. There has to be a lawyer who will work on contingency being paid thru this ordinance. At the end of the day the only thing they can say is no.

I agree, but the problem is the cost. The money FAC raises only goes toward expenses such as the cost of hiring expert witnesses and depositions and other expenses . We are not actually paying the attorneys. They only receive their fee if we win and the court decides the other side pays it. So it can be difficult to find an attorney to take a case when they know that they might not ever get paid. With that said, the attorneys that have taken cases for us are outstanding and are busy right now dealing with legal issues for us. We are hoping they are eventually reimbursed. They deserve it.

We have a lot of situations where we would like to file a lawsuit but have to wait until some other lawsuits are finished (and hopefully won). Then it takes an attorney who is willing to help us out.

How we all wish we had the money to pay attorneys what they deserve to take on all these lawsuits.

They were all given the research but only Bullard seemed to care.

That is an excellent question for the mayor to answer.

Lovett Court said that a bill of attainder 1) specifically identified the people to be punished; 2) imposed punishment; and 3) did so without benefit of judicial trial.

Is not the continuous pushing of registered citizens further and further out of the community without a trial is that not a crime? At what point is it ok and not viewed as punishment if anyone listened to the oral arguments I posted earlier under the general comments in the Clements case the 11th gave the state a hypothetical question if the defendant was only allowed to live on 5 percent of the land would that person then be in custody? Well here we have that as factual evidence. With no other intention but to restrict future registered citizens from potentially living there or forcing those who do live there to being trapped since if they do move they would likely be forced out of the community as only a fraction of the town will now be eligible.

That brings up something kind of funny but sad at the same time.
The parents in my hood, because of me living there, they walk their kids to the bus stop and stand with them until the bus arrives. Fair enough.
Then when all the parents are at work, and the bus drops them back off after school, they all walk alone past my house with no parents. How ridiculous and petty.
I have a pretty good record for the 15 years I have lived here, no kidnapped kids but the Sheriff’s office won’t give me a certificate of appreciation for my accomplishments.

Yes there is sarcasm in the post.

I don’t have the money to just up and run away. I am not some super hero either, but no one here is going to stand up to them. I will if we are going to court. We do need to take this for action.

I never thought I would move but where I lived I was getting Local cops, Sheriff’s deputies, And FDLE agents showing up at my house all hours of the day and night. Hanging flyers, harassing me, coming in my house, and asking my neighbors questions.

I finally moved to another county and for the past 15 years I have been mostly left alone, except for the 5 minutes 4 times a year a deputy comes to see if I really live where I live, which I think off probation is unconstitutional, but that is a fight for another day.

I know it is not easy to up and move, but there are some places that basically leave you alone in Florida. Maybe F.A.C could do an anonymous poll on what county we live in and if it sucks or is not so bad.

[Moderator’s note: FAC would be reluctant to characterize any Florida county as “not so bad.” The best county for an individual varies according to individual circumstances and is subject to change].
