[BODYCAM] Watch Florida Sheriff Terrorize Families with Creepy Algorithm

The Sheriff’s Office of Pasco County, Florida, harasses people in their own homes using a method they call “predictive policing.” The program has unfolded like a dystopian nightmare for the Pasco County residents it has ensnared, who have been subjected to near-constant police surveillance and harassment. The Sheriff’s Office claims the program’s goal is to predict and prevent crime before it happens by targeting people they suspect may commit crimes in the future, dubbing the approach “intelligence-led policing.” This euphemism may make it seem like there’s thoughtfulness to the approach, but there’s nothing fair or smart about it.
ij.org/case/pasco-predictive-...
Using a crude computer algorithm, the Sheriff’s Office creates a list of people they think are likely to commit crimes in the future. It places people on the list based on their criminal record, but also based on things that the person may not have been able to control, such as whether they have been suspected of a crime, whether they witnessed a crime or even whether they were a victim of a crime. The Sheriff’s Office calls the people on the list “prolific offenders.”
Then, deputies are sent out to monitor, intimidate and harass people on the list. The deputies are instructed to gather as much information as possible about their targets, and routinely show up unannounced at people’s houses to interrogate them about their friends, their families and their comings and goings. Dalanea Taylor, who was placed on the prolific offender list because she had been incarcerated as a teenager, was harassed by Pasco deputies for years after she was released and had turned her life around.
Code enforcement is a favorite tactic for ensuring compliance during the deputies’ visits. To coerce people into letting the deputies into their home or answering their questions-or sometimes purely to intimidate them-the deputies slap their victims with citations for innocuous offenses like missing house numbers on the mailbox, chickens in the back yard or unmowed grass on the lawn. By design, family members of prolific offenders are ensnared by the program too. Robert Jones had a son on the prolific offender list, and Pasco deputies showed up at his door multiple times a week asking about his son. When the deputies decided that he wasn’t cooperating fully, they wrote him multiple citations for tall grass and other similar property code violations. They even arrested him several times on bogus charges.
Tammy Heilman and Dolly Deegan, who both had sons on the list, also received multiple citations for thousands of dollars in fines for code enforcement violations.
Worse, the motivation of the program is more sinister than merely “fighting crime”: The Sheriff’s Office acknowledged that they want these “problem people” gone. Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco, the architect of the program, boasted that the goal was to predict which residents are likely to commit crimes and then “take them out.” In the words of a former Pasco County deputy, they were under orders to “[m]ake their lives miserable until they move or sue.”
Experts on policing have roundly criticized Pasco County’s practices, pointing out that it is based on junk science and could tend to reinforce racially biased policing practices.
But the Sheriff’s use of predictive policing is not only methodologically shaky; it’s unconstitutional. The government cannot harass you in your home just because it has decided that you or someone you live with might someday do something wrong. That’s why Robert, Dalanea, Tammy, and Dolly have decided to challenge Pasco’s program, alongside the Institute for Justice, in court to affirm the basic principle that there is no such thing as “innocent until predicted guilty.”

When they, if they did something wrong pay individually and we the taxpayers need to stop paying the lawsuit pay outs. That's the biggest change that has to come with all of this justice. They do the crime they need to pay for the crime with their own money which is really our money. but when the settlement comes down the line and there's some outrageous 72 million dollars awarded were still picking up the tab the cop is not picking up the tab so we need to make changes there as well.

I moved north to Florida to care for my parents and within 11 months I became a felon. Not knowing people in this county, I took construction jobs that was below my usual clientele/job scope. My background is design and historical restoration of residential properties. (NE) While hired to fix drywall, my client asked me to hand a package to his friend due to him being sick. I handed drugs to a DEA Agent who was trying to arrest the client. The detective stated I had nothing to do with this person’s illegal activities yet it didn’t matter due to the Sheriff wanting numbers. My situation plummeted due to having to use a court appointed attorney who didn’t do her job and lied to me during the case. Now, I’m in process of disbarring the court appointed attorney and hopeful expungement of the felony charge. (3 attorneys noted my constitutional rights were violated plus overseeing Judge noted improper conduct by CAA) All this being said, further harassment is inevitable after 3 unwarranted vehicles detainments. I pray sharing this will not come back to haunt me.

Predictive policing is actually a valuable tool when used properly. Crime statistics can show police where to concentrate their street patrols considering the time of day and days of week of criminal activity. However, predictive policing should NEVER, even under the best of controls, be used to target individual citizens. It should only be used to put LEO resources in the right locations and the right time to either prevent crime or to be "johnny-on-the-spot" when crime occurs. What they're doing here is eerily similar to that Tom Cruise movie several years ago about arresting people for "future" crimes.

Extra advice: 🔹 Property cameras. 🔹 Fence/barrier to your property. (Be nice and post sign: No Trespassing.) At this point, they should not even approach your door as it would be trespass (unless it was serving a warrant or exigent circumstance). 🔹 book an appointment with elected officials (and show up). Bring video documentation. Please also have the video notated on paper for times/dates of trespass. 🔹 NEVER step outside your home/door when intruders are present. You should not answer the door or speak with intruders. Do not open the door. (Unless it is a valid warrant.) If it is a valid warrant, be sure they limit their search to only what is listed on the warrant. 🔹 Have interior cameras. If they cut power, be sure you have battery backup (~$100 shoebox size power bar style for the cameras/computers/router/wifi, usually lasts 30-90 minutes). 🔹 If they have physical contact with you, sit down, shut up, lose any ego, be so calm as to try to take a nap.

[@bruxinth4660]

@@petergianarakos6421 The “MAGAts” want Order, not Tyranny, and not too many know the difference. Tyranny is not Order, but ironically Lawlessness, Chaos. Laws are made to require the government to act and only act upon the law that predicates/justifies their actions. In criminal law, governments are required to deliver a charge before a judge before their arrest of the accused is warranted, then are further constrained to conduct a proper trial, and then even if guilt is sufficiently established, deliver the punishment demanded by the law once again, not less, not more. Ideal laws are strict, decisive, fair to both parties, and leave little room for ambiguity, if ambiguity cannot be fully avoided and if it is possible for extenuating circumstances to alter the perception of the defendant’s action as a crime or true breach of morality. Edicts that are broad in scope, ambiguous, unconcerned with fairness and actual justice, and have absolutely no sense of the moral spirit of law are not really a form of law: it is lawlessness, and lawlessness sparks strife, resentment, and revolution. A very striking line from the beginning of 1984 is observation by the protagonist that Ingsoc has no laws: the only crime is only if you are found to be harboring resentment against Big Brother (and honestly, who could think otherwise). Tyranny is marked by the increase of dictates from those in charge on how citizens are to act and lack of laws that tell the government how it can only act, as if it would matter by then anyway. Tyrannies therefore are antigovernments incapable of governing themselves anymore than they can govern people justly. MAGAts want a just, lawful government to rule and not this imposter that splotches our heritage. We are patriots for a country we no longer live in.
