So, you want to let the governor ignore the State constitution?
Art I, SECTION 12. — Searches and seizures.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures, and against the unreasonable interception of private communications by any means, shall not be violated. No warrant shall be issued except upon probable cause, supported by affidavit, particularly describing the place or places to be searched, the person or persons, thing or things to be seized, the communication to be intercepted, and the nature of evidence to be obtained. This right shall be construed in conformity with the 4th Amendment to the United States Constitution, as interpreted by the United States Supreme Court. Articles or information obtained in violation of this right shall not be admissible in evidence if such articles or information would be inadmissible under decisions of the United States Supreme Court construing the 4th Amendment to the United States Constitution.
This is in Florida’s constitution? It would seem to say that the governor is supposed to protect us from SWAT excesses.
The SWAT teams do have affidavits, but as the article indicated, they’re generally lies. Apparently, judges see their role as aiding and abetting this assault on citizens.
I see no reason for SWAT raids. Just watch the place and grab them when they get the mail or go shopping. The bit with David Koresh and the Branch Dividians was ridiculous. likewise, Ruby Ridge and Elian Gonzales.
I’d also like to see officers punished for gratuitously shooting dogs when they have pepper spray and stun guns. Also, when the raid the wrong address. (A serious fine, at the very least, plus personal restitution.)
