Florida’s New “Don’t Stand So Close to Me” Law: Now With More Grady Judd Energy!

 

Florida has once again reminded us why it’s the nation's hotbed for legal creativity. 

Governor Ron DeSantis has signed into law a 25-foot buffer zone around first responders, making it illegal for you to hover too close to your favorite police officer while filming their every move. It’s about safety, people—not just theirs, but yours, too! 

After all, who wouldn’t want a nice, spacious radius around Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd while he’s working his magic? 

Speaking of Sheriff Judd—Florida’s hard but fair sheriff—if there’s anyone who will apply this law with precision and fairness, it’s him. 

Grady Judd isn’t just a lawman; he’s a legend. 

He’s the guy who can crack down on crime with a steel fist while somehow maintaining an everyman charm that makes you think, “You know, I’d like to have a barbecue with this guy, right before he throws me in jail for public nuisance.” Lol! 

Judd is the kind of leader who doesn’t just enforce laws—he embodies them. He’ll likely ensure that the 25-foot buffer is measured with the same precision as a NASA rocket launch, and if you break the rules, well, you’ll get a lesson on personal responsibility delivered with that signature Judd flair. 

 And let’s be honest: If cloning technology were legal (and let’s face it, Florida might be the first state to greenlight it), someone needs to swipe his hairbrush or scrape some DNA off his boots! 

Imagine a world where every county in America had a Grady Judd. 

Crime wouldn’t stand a chance! Plus, the TV ratings for press conferences would be through the roof!! 

Now, back to this 25-foot buffer..... It’s designed to keep people from getting too close to first responders during stressful situations. 

Yesss! Critics are crying foul, claiming it limits accountability and transparency.  But listen, folks.... have you ever been in the middle of a chaotic scene, only to have someone with a camera phone yelling about their “rights” while standing uncomfortably close??!!  

 If you’re Grady Judd, you’re too professional to lose your cool, but even he probably appreciates the breathing room. 

Let’s not forget about the Citizen Review Boards.  

They’ll still exist, but now in more of a backseat role. Think of them as the kid who gets to ride along but isn’t allowed to touch the radio.  

Sure, critics might say this is a blow to oversight, but again...—Grady Judd.  

If anyone’s going to ensure fairness while navigating this legal maze, it’s him. And for those worried this might stifle creativity, fear not!  

Floridians will undoubtedly find ways to work around the 25-foot rule. People will use Drones, telescopic lenses, maybe even rent a cherry picker to get the perfect angle.. 

We’re a resourceful bunch! 

So let’s take a moment to appreciate the brilliance of this law, the sheer creativity it inspires, and the reassuring presence of Sheriff Grady Judd.  

If the rest of Florida’s law enforcement follows his lead, we might just be onto something.  

 Now, someone go get that hairbrush—history demands it!

Please Help Find These Forgotten Girls Held at Male Juvenile Prison for Over a Year!

  MY MOST IMPORTANT STORY  Dozens of Forgotten Little Girls Held at Male Juvenile Prison for Over a Year! Welcome to the Sunshine State , where the palm trees sway, the alligators lurk, and the legislative process makes Kafka look like a life coach!  Florida House Bill HB21 . Not just a compensation bill but possibly a 20 million dollar "Stay out of Jail Free" card for some folks. This is a bill that does some good—but also trips over its own shoelaces, falls down a staircase, and lands on a historical oversight so big, it might as well have its own zip code! An oversight that overlooks what I consider to be its most vulnerable victims! The Setup: Justice with a Catch HB21 was enacted on July 1, 2024 to compensate victims of abuse from two male juvenile detention facilities located in Florida, Dozier and Okeechobee.  It says, “Hey, survivors of abuse between 1940 and 1975, here’s some compensation for the horrific things you endured!” Sounds good, right?

We Are Temporarily Halting Further Publication....

Do to financial issues and lack of funding we are temporarily halting further publication. After a full year of publication, we have reached a bridge that we are unable to cross at this time. We may periodically publish an article but at this time, full-time publication is no longer feasible. Thank you to all the readers who followed us throughout our journey and we wish you the very best. Hopefully we will see our way through this rough patch and will resume publication in the near future. Thanks again! Robert B.

Postal Police Stuck Behind ‘Keep Out’ Signs While Mailmen Face Muggers: You Can’t Make This Stuff Up!!

As crime against letter carriers surges, one would think that America’s armed, uniformed Postal Police might be hitting the streets to protect our mail.  Instead, they’re still glued to their post office entrances like sentries guarding Fort Frownmore.  Why?  Because since 2020, the Postmaster General decreed they must “protect postal property” only—meaning, they currently serve as glorified lobby bouncers rather than actual roaming guardians of the mailstream. “ They’re robbing letter carriers, they’re sticking a gun in a letter carrier’s face and they’re demanding arrow keys, ” laments Frank Albergo , president of the National Postal Police Union and a Postal Police Officer himself.  An "arrow key" in the context of the Post Office is a specialized, universal key that postal workers use to access various locked mail receptacles, including collection boxes, apartment mailboxes, and cluster boxes. Albergo isn’t exaggerating—research shows over 100 physical assaul...
