Thanks for posting that- I have saved it for future reference

Looks like Rush may have a bit of a problem

Florida has a couple of interesting constutional provisions.

(one is making english the official language of the state of FL. Try and explain that in miami.)

Another is this:
.....
SECTION 23. Right of privacy.--Every natural person has the right to be let alone and free from governmental intrusion into the person's private life except as otherwise provided herein. This section shall not be construed to limit the public's right of access to public records and meetings as provided by law.

History.--Added, C.S. for H.J.R. 387, 1980; adopted 1980; Am. proposed by Constitution Revision Commission, Revision No. 13, 1998, filed with the Secretary of State May 5, 1998; adopted 1998.

....

Not that FL court respect law too much, however it is worth noting that Palm Beach recently invoked the privacy provision to exempt a unmarried teenager from being force to publish a john doe advertisement telling potential fathers that she was putting the baby up for adoption.

In all seriousness, I do not believe anyone (state attorney included) seriously believes Rush to be a dealer. They may want to conduct a fishing expedition to find out if there may be a case. From the articles posted here, I did not get a true sense of the arguments which the state used to justify what probable cause or suspicion they have against rush.
