In Florida, my sons friend Andy, missed the first 3 days of school this week because he was very sick. He attends Pompano Beach High. during these same 3 days some kid phoned in a Bomb threat for 2 of these days. Andy is an honors student and works when he is not in school in order to help his grandmother who he lives with. Yesterday while in school Andy was called to the principals office and he thought it was because of the three day absence he just had. Upon arriving there he was arrested and put in jail. Today was his arraignment, the judge said because he was a flight risk that Andy will remain in jail until his trial.

This isn’t a one time thing in Broward County. Last year my son found out while he was at Radio Shack that the kid that came along with him for the ride had stolen 2 cell phones, so what did Jake do? He turned these in to the security officer. The store decided to claim these on insurance and had to file a police report. So they charged my son with Grand Theft because he was the only person they knew. My Son, after about 7 months, ended up having to pay a reimbursement of 0 and all this for trying to do the right thing.

My wife and I fell victims to a Nigerian scam. We were paid for some computer accessories with stolen checks. I was arrested after trying to cash the funds and had to spend almost a month in jail. For the next 3 years Broward County decided to prosecute us. I lost my business and several jobs because of the three years in their Justice system.Ended up having to cop pleas in order to end this entire ordeal. Me for petty theft and my wife for trespassing. Coincidentally the arresting officer in our case was the one who forced a guy in jail to admit to all these crimes just so they could close the books on them.

The sheriff of Broward county has no experience himself in Law enforcement, he was a Senator before running for sheriff. He speaks very eloquently to the press but in real life he does just the opposite.BSO is famous for forcing innocent people to confess to crimes they never committed:. They will bully you and do everything at their means to make you guilty. Nazi Germany probably had more rights for its people than BSO.

Things like this exist all over our country but what is ever done about these true criminals, the law makers and the people who work for them? We are the richest country in the world but is this value based on legal wealth or by wealth created by hurting others? We have the largest percentage of its people incarcerated worldwide. Laws are made only to find a reason to incarcerate the people that can’t be charged with anything else.
