FDLE misleads parents into thinking that the FDLE mobile app will keep their children safe on Halloween
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is encouraging parents to download the FDLE app that tracks people on the sex offense registry so that the parents will know where it is “safe” to take their children trick-or-treating.
We are increasingly becoming a society where truth is no longer important, and people do not want to hear the truth. How much money would FDLE lose if the truth were to ever come out?
- The vast majority of people on the registry are law-abiding citizens.
- The vast majority of people who are a danger to children and will be committing the FUTURE sex crimes against children are NOT on this FDLE app.
I blame the FDLE for misleading such people as the mother who stated: “It is a very helpful app because it lets you know where the danger is.” NO IT DOES NOT!!!! The only thing that will keep children safe on Halloween is for the parents to accompany their children.
“It is a very helpful app because it lets you know where the danger is.”
As Ron White said, “You can’t fix stupid”.
I am not a danger. And if FDLE is committing libel, do we have a class action lawsuit? FDLE keeps maligning registrants without any data/proof. FDLE needs their nose bloodied by a good lawsuit with damages.
The State has sovereign immunity and cannot be sued for money damages unless it allows the lawsuit, and in any case, in Florida such cases require relief bills by the Legislature for money to actually be paid out. So there’s not going to be any lawsuit against them for money. We can only sue them for equitable relief for violating the Constitution or laws.
The Daytona News-Journal allowed FDLE, a source of many crime scoops, to trick them into promoting FDLE’s app.
They tout, among other things, that the app provides free personal information on 33,000 in-state registrants, but did not bother to contact any of these 33,000 people to inquire how the app affects them.
Law enforcement goes to excess whenever the free press fails to question them. One of us please write to the editors, please.
The media is not listening and does not care. If it is not a story that sells, they are not interested. Local media sites are not what they once were. Of course, we have to keep in mind that their competition is social media.
Even the Miami Herald is in on this hoax:

I was very disappointed in the Miami Herald. I am trying to get a letter to them.
I’ve sent a complaint to FDLE through their complaints contact online form. I suggest we all flood them with complaints!
That is an interesting idea, Greig. Thanks.
If you feel that the solution is to ‘sue FDLE,’ then I have good news for you. We are ALREADY suing FDLE in at least two courts.
Let’s keep funding that Ex Post Facto Plus Sustainer, everyone!
Hmmmm, so, PFRs are all dangerous. Okay, so I wonder what one would find if we compared assaults by the 33k PFRs vs 46k Officers in the last year. We can see that on-duty assaults by officers are usually never charged because they’re “in the line of duty”, even when they’re clearly excessive use of force and sometimes not even based on a valid stop or arrest. But then, what about sexual assaults? Most of here are familiar with the stats that recidivism is low among the convicted, and most new sex offenses are committed by person not on the registry. So, based on stats, who is more likely to commit sexual assault: a person on the registry or a police officer?
This is all my own conjecture based on what I see online, which is TONS of videos about excessive force and constitutional violations by police which is only now starting to be documented by the public in any broad sense.
Another addee for Media Blitz Phase 3. As we said in the Navy…this is a target rich environment.
Um. Let’s see it keeps kids safe on Halloween ,because it let’s parents know where the dangers are. Hmm, since people on the registry are not allowed to decorate , give out candy or participate in any Halloween activities. Tell me again where are the dangers the registry Keeps them from ?
Come on ,Tim. Are you trying to deprive FDLE from feeling good about the ‘fine job’ they are doing trying to justify their salaries? I look forward to Halloween. I plan to spend the evening at a friend’s home drinking beer and watching a soccer…adult…match. The problem with FDLE is that it believes its own lies.
“Brown said there are currently 33,000 sex offenders who live in Florida. Of that figure, nearly 4,500 are sexual predators, he said.”
And yet, Florida’s registry is about 70k+.
This is the hit list App..now it gives automatic data on an address of a RP and considering its Holloween. (its just a Prank) in the eyes of LEOs
does anyone know if monroe county, fl has any rules regarding registrants not on probation in relation to Halloween?
FDLE’s dishonesty and misinformation for the purpose of making themselves look better just sickens me. The woman who was interviewed said that she was getting updates already was absolutely full of BS. Did the AP notify her that I moved out of state last month and would be removed from the Florida registry? How about someone who had passed away? I think not. I’m not sure what updates she’s even received. I was forced to live in a roadside motel that was a safe haven for registrants. No one would take their children there for trick or treating.
This Halloween I am praying for everyone on the registry who has to endure the fascist police intimidation. Including myself. I wish us all a safe Halloween.
So how many children were abducted and molested by registrants last night during trick or treating? I’m going to take a wild guess and say ZERO.
Zero? Wow. That’s frightening and high.
