Fines are a start, but I'm not sure why they shouldn't face jail time for illegal acts that would land me in jail. Maybe the idea is that since I am the public official's boss, I should know better? After all, they are just my employee, and may be a bit slow.bigtek wrote:Soccerdad1995 wrote:Wow.

Threatening to throw the Sheriff in jail unless he violates the law? I wonder who the judge plans on making the arrest. I also wonder how the judge would react if the Sheriff responded by arresting him for abuse of power. Now that would be really interesting.We have the psycho judges. It would be nice if we had some of those sheriffs and legislators to balance the teapot tyrants.
Last I heard, the sheriff called his bluff and the judge agreed to let the Florida Second District Court of Appeal decide.
Situations like this are a great example why fines should be paid by the official violating the law, not the taxpayers.

Wow. It sounds like Florida judges are as bad as Texas judges when it comes to just making up laws that they wish were actually passed by the legislature. Someone needs to explain to these folks that being a judge is not the same as being a Deity.
