Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd just loves to be in the spotlight to ensure his reelection. The people that see him on TV and read the headlines and elect him do not understand the arrest and the actual charge, if they even get charged at all, don’t have to be the same. Add to that “Innocent until proven guilty” went out the window along time ago, at least where “sex offenses” are concerned, and all he has to do is grandstand to get reelected. It is said we live in a country where an overwhelming majority of citizens are completely ignorant about the law.

In reply to GL. We don’t publicly shame people as motivation to join our cause. Nor do we target judges or ex-judges.

In reply to GL.

For the same reason you use “GL” and not your full name. Do you really think he needs more results associating him with this than already exist?
Your comment was edited to remove his name. Because we are not in the “name and shame” game.

He was not convicted. He received a withhold of adjudication for a misdemeanor. He would not be on the FDLE RSO website. He should be on the “Solicitation for Prostitution” registry (see: https://floridaactioncommittee.org/whatever-happened-to-the-solicitation-for-prostitution-registry/) but he is not. Don’t know why but better for him.

I don’t understand why you want to protect ex-judge XXXXX XXXXXXX name. His name needs to be out there in order for him to get any motivation to fight against these unreasonable registration laws.

Which begs another question. If he was convicted in Florida, why isn’t his name on the FDLE RSO website?

In reply to FAC Contributor #3. That is true unless getting a PR boost was the purpose of the DUI checkpoint. Not many people will actually follow the results after the initial headline. This is also true of "Operation March Sadness."

In reply to Jacob.

Exactly. Re-read what we originally wrote about this when it happened: https://floridaactioncommittee.org/the-sad-operation-march-sadness/
When 99% of the people arrested in a “human trafficking” operation were not charged with human trafficking… it’s not a successful human trafficking operation. It’s a failed one.

You don’t conduct a DUI checkpoint, arrest 100 people who were drunk, one of which was in the country illegally and announce “100 arrests made in immigration raid”

In reply to FAC Contributor #3. So this may be an old-school vice operation, overlaid with the Human Trafficking label so as to qualify for funding, amirite?

We have a political system that is out of control. I hope that one day FAC will recognize that and take on some of these politicians for being among the registered citizens worse enemies. We cannot win a victory as long as we have enemies roaming about making life miserable for those who long ago paid their debt and just want to live a normal, productive lifestyle. These politicians thrive on promulgating lies about registered citizens.

In reply to Aracely. Not sure where your information came from, but he wasn't charged or accused of anything having to do with a minor. He was accused of hiring an adult escort. Let's not accuse the guy of something worse than the police did, please.
