Cops Busting Cops
I have been required now for the last 5 years to list not only my e-mail accounts with the FDLE but also if you have any IM (Instant Messaging) Accounts.
The FDLE gives you a Username and Password for your first Visit to this ultra secure Website and then you can adjust the Security and Add the information required.
The public cannot gain or has access to this website.
Once that information is added, it goes into the DOC database and when we go for our BI or Quarterly Visits to our Sheriff’s Office, we are asked to verify the information we have put on the FDLE Website.
Now, once the FDLE by Law has your IM Account Information they can use it to gain access and send messages etc, As I have discussed before, I have disabled all my Messaging Software on all my Computers, Devices etc. so therefore its impossible to set me up for one of these IM Stings. Although I still do use TXT messaging on my Smart Phone.
The bottom line is that RSO’s once their e-mail and IM accounts are registered with FDLE, I have to assume that we have knowledge of these Cops posing as young people and using IM accounts to entrap. But it looks like I may be wrong to conclude this as this recent Volusia County Sting busted a x-cop from Jacksonville. How is the world would you not know this is a sting if you yourself is a Law Enforcement Officer?
I realize this is confusing.. but every RSO in Florida needs to understand the technology behind entrapment by these stings. We need to make damn sure that if we get a invitation for a date by a minor and are asked to be involved sexually and you say “YES”, you have just committed a 3rd degree felony even without showing up at the fake Location for a encounter. Volusia County is going crazy with this stuff and nothing is being done to challenge the Privacy Issues as well as your Civil Rights within the Use of the Internet.
And as many of you have written; We are looking for legit adult dating services and all of a sudden the adults are not adults anymore.
I see no end, do you?
But I wanted to point out that RSO’s by Law in Florida already must report their E-Mail and IM Accounts and Twitter or aliases Names you use must be reported now as well.
