According to the story, he was a deputy when arrested, thus the public record exemption.
Also per the story, he was in a probationary status (1st year employee), which is why he was fired vs administrative leave status. He was not on any “cut list”.

He must have been already been on the cut list or else he would have been placed on paid administrative leave instead until convicted.

>>On in this case, a former law enforcement officer?

I know that it applies to former as in retired or career change, but not sure about fired.

REGARDING:
“Under Florida law, mugshots of law enforcement officers and their family members are not public record.”

On in this case, a former law enforcement officer?

David wondering if the law still applies
since he seems to be out of the brotherhood

First of all, yes he is a L.E.O but, you have to remember that he puts his pants on just like
the rest of us.Granite he
carries a star he’s normal
he’s not invincibile to a mis.
or definatly a felony. He believed he was untouchable.

Obviously we have to keep them safe from what ever showing their pictures might bring down on them.

Obviously we don’t see the need to protect any other criminals from this same
plight.

What is the logic of law, in not making the mugshots public record. Is there a reason?

>>i wonder why his photo not shown each and every other criminal photo be show when they break the law

Under Florida law, mugshots of law enforcement officers and their family members are not public record. There is no mugshot available for us to use for that reason.

AND an embarrassment to ALL officers who stand tall with their backs
against the wall and make sure THEY live the ROLE MODEL LIFE.

I hope when this officer is googled a year from now. we don’t find
he has just been passed on to another County or State and in trusted
with another gun and badge.
