PINELLAS COUNTY, Fla. — A new law aimed at helping to improve interactions between law enforcement and people with disabilities goes into effect on January 1.

SB 784 which is named the ‘Protect Our Loved Ones Act’ allows local police and sheriff departments to develop and maintain databases of people in their communities with developmental, psychological, or other disabilities.

The listed conditions also include autism, Alzheimers, dementia, and Down syndrome.

A parent or caretaker would have the choice to voluntarily submit someone with a disability to the registry, should their local law enforcement agency create one.

Michelle Detwiler with the Parc Center for Disabilities says she feels this new legislation has been a long time coming.

‘Protect Our Loved Ones Act’

I am immediately suspicious just based on the name of it.

Except all those “disabilities” were removed from the medical diagnostic books. They want to be special, but not THAT special.

Pinellas County OMG where Terri Schiavo was put to death in March of 2005 the SWAT team from the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Department outside.

Heck Michael Schiavo worked as a nurse at the Pinellas County jail as I recall it.

And then another round of ‘there outta be a law’ when this do-gooder scheme works its magic.

How about for every new law they have to strike off 10 — of both laws and lawyers?

We might finally get somewhere.

As a Floridan California resident and a person with geriatric issues, IMHO, this is not a good idea.

Once the list exists, there's no way to control how it could be used. And never mind the alleged good intentions.

A round up list of useless eaters to some future eugenicist?

Wait a minute. Where is our governor?

The local sheriff has such a registry. It is primarily for first responders to use during evacuations due to hurricanes, long power outages, etc. I registered my wife due to her mental and physical disabilities following strokes. She is also on a special list with the 911 service, due to her difficulties communicating.

“sheriff departments to develop and maintain databases of people in their communities with developmental, psychological, or other disabilities.”

Just as with guns, so they will know where to find them!

When they need them, SOYLENT GREEN!

Both Stalin and Hitler had such lists.
‘For the betterment of the country and its resources,
these people listed, are a hindrance, a frain on our resources, and therefore must be dealt with.”

Now, do you get the picture?

... and the LEOs will take time to run the agitated/disoriented person’s name through the database before tazing/choking/shooting them.

Im sure this is well intended but as always, give anyone a little authority and they will eventually abuse it.

Would they put a George Floyd type on the list? Drug addicted and obviously not 100%? You see where this is headed.

Florida already has a law that allows for dangerous drivers to be reported to LE.

There’s no need for this one.

Especially since not everyone who has dementia, Downs, et al is similarly afflicted.
