Eyes On Privacy

This morning I emailed my Lawless America Congressional Testimony video in response to an opinion piece entitled "Eyes On Privacy" to "letters" at the Panama City News Herald with the message:

RE: "Eyes On Privacy"

The concern for privacy rights and the 4th Amendment expressed by politicians and law enforcement is just lip service. Privacy isn't dying in the US; it's dead.

Florida Public Records Request

This past Tuesday,I emailed the following message to the Sheriff:

Sheriff Tim Brown
Holmes County Sheriff's Office
211 N. Oklahoma Street
Bonifay Florida 32425

Dear Sheriff Brown,

I emailed a Florida Public Records Request to your office, which Jeana Prescott (prescottj@holmescosheriff.org via eigbox.net) acknowledged on Jan. 26, 2013. I agreed to pay the actual cost of duplication of the documents and requested a written estimation of any additional expenses. I requested that these records be available by February 4, 2012. To date, you have neither supplied the requested information nor advised me why my public records request is being denied (Chapter 119 requires you advise me in writing and indicate the applicable exemption to the Public Records Act). Do you intend to supply the public records requested as required by law or not? Thank you.
Sincerely,
Joe Keegan

Not. The Sheriff still hasn't replied to either my Florida Public Records Request or my follow-up email.

February 13, 2013- Cop & ACLU

I gave some homeless person a few bucks this morning around 8:00 a.m. at the Lowe's in Dothan, AL, because he said that he was hungry. When I left the store with my purchase, a Dothan police squad car (black and white) was parked close to me. As I prepared to leave the parking lot, the cop went into the store. I don't want any problems from giving some homeless person a buck or two for something to eat.

Someone called up later in the morning purporting to be from the ACLU and said that they were monitoring my call (usually, they just ask for a donation sans monitoring). Monitoring? Is that anything like recording?  So I hung up. Whoever it was called me. I didn't call them. I will talk to anyone, anywhere, anytime, but it has to be transparent (and I'll be recording, too)and they have to be able to do something to resolve this matter.
