Legislative Delegation to Hold Public Hearing

Last Friday, January 25,2013, at 12:25 pm the Chipley paper posted  Legislative Delegation to Hold Public Hearings in Holmes and Washington CountyYesterday, Tuesday, January 29, 2013, I appeared before the delegation, consisting of my state senator and representative,presented both with copies of SB 92 and HB 119, and a transcript of my Lawless America video . I previously had emailed   it to both, as well as number of Florida State Senators.
                           
I read the following from a prepared script to the group:

Hello. My name is Joe Keegan and I live in Bonifay. North Bonifay. In the 2013 Legislative Session, I’d like to encourage you to support The “Freedom of Unwarranted Surveillance Act.” SB 92 is sponsored by Senator Joe Negron [ R-Stuart] and would prohibit any law enforcement agency from using unmanned drones to gather evidence or other information with the exception of countering a high risk of a terrorist attack. SB 92 also prohibits the use of any evidence to be used in a court of law in violation of this law. Representative Mitch Workman [ R-Melbourne] has filed an identical bill (HB 119) in the House. HB 119 is still waiting for Committee assignments.

It’s an important and necessary bill not only to insure the right of Florida citizens to be left alone, but also to prevent any “Law enforcement agency” from  going  on “fishing trips” for any code or regulatory violations that they can find to meet any revenue shortfalls.  It’s going to be very tempting for towns and cities with budgetary problems to do this in order to raise revenue. However, the only thing that this would accomplish is to anger and inconvenience a lot of people in an alread difficult economy.  The boys and girls have the hi-tech toys and they will abuse them. I’ve provided you with a transcript of a brief video that I sent to you earlier regarding such abuse. I hope that you got the chance to view it. Thank you for your time.

Freedom of Unwarranted Surveillance Act

The Freedom of Unwarranted Surveillance Act-SB 92- passed the Florida State Senate Criminal Justice Committee and the next next Committee stop will be the Judiciary Committee. SB 92 is sponsored by Senator Joe Negron and would prohibit any law enforcement agency from using unmanned drones to gather evidence or other information with the exception of countering a high risk of a terrorist attack. SB 92 also prohibits the use of any evidence to be used in a court of law in violation of this law.

Last Friday I emailed links and/or the YouTube video itself to each member of the Judiciary Committee, as well as Senator Joe Negron. I received automatic confirmations of receipt of my emails from 4 of the Judiciary Committee members. I didn't receive any acknowledgement from the others. In my emails I encouraged the Senators to support SB 92 and to please take the 3 minutes to view the video. Drones aren't the only threat to privacy.

No Caller ID

Phone rang 6:30 am this morning, I didn't pick up, the answering message played, but the caller left no message. A hang up caller or a caller leaving a crank message is not unusual or even a crank caller blocking his/her phone number ID is not unusual, but what is somewhat unusual is not getting any message on the screen that the caller's phone number is blocked or out of the area covered by caller ID. Instead, the answering machine picked up, played the message, and then recorded the silence all without displaying anything on the caller ID screen other than the day, date, and time information.

Other than the usual, such as people complaining about an incredible echo on my phone or else asking if I'm on speaker phone when I'm not, the unusual has began occurring again. For example, the phone will start making the noise as though knocked off the hook and when I go to hang it up I notice that it's still on the hook. Once when trying to stop the noise, I picked up the receiver and distinctly heard someone on the other end of the line hang up. IMO- that's unusual. I wonder what "they" are trying to do?

Interesting communication that I received this morning from a FL law firm. I had contacted the firm on the suggestion of an organization. Left one message on the answering service that I would call back. When I called back, I spoke to someone that said they would forward my explanation of my situation. When I didn't receive any reply, I completed and submitted an inquiry form that they have on their website. I didn't receive any reply to that, either. So, this morning I submitted another inquiry via their website as to whether or not they're interested in my case. This time one of the partners did reply. He said that I already inquired numerous times (never received a reply), that I had an in person consultation with his partner, and they're not interested and don't know any lawyer that can handle it. He also said to stop contacting them and wished me luck.

However, I did contact him just a short time ago by replying to his email. I told him that if his partner had an in person consultation, it wasn't with me. If his partner met with someone, it was someone masquerading as me. I never met with anyone, discussed details of this matter on the phone, or even went to the city where they're located anytime during the past several months.

Emailed Request for Appointment of a Special Prosecutor to Gov. Scott

Unfortunately, Gov. Scott didn't reply to my request for the Appointment of a Special Prosecutor, so I emailed him a copy of my request this morning. I included the following introductory paragraph:

Dear Governor Scott,

I’ve pasted in below my letter, dated March 28, 2012, to you requesting the appointment of a Special Prosecutor. The USPS verified delivery to your office on March 30, 2012. In the event that my letter was misplaced, I’ve pasted the text to it in below. In the event that my letter was lost, please regard this as my Request for Appointment of a Special Prosecutor. I’d appreciate the courtesy of a reply. Thank you.

Joe Keegan

I've had two White Houses and one Vice President personally reply to my letters reporting misconduct and abuse of authority in the past. They replied within two weeks. It's been more than that and Gov. Scott still hasn't expressed any concern whatsoever for the rights of one of his constituents. 

HCSO reply to my Public Records Request

HCSO Captain Ron Bennett left a message for me this morning to call him and he'll explain what they got. I returned his call. Capt. Bennett told me that their search doesn't show anything on me for the time period request. I asked him to send an email to that effect. He said that he would. I sent the HCSO an email recap of our conversation, including the request for an email reply.
