In Florida, state law requires that people report a body that they come across to the proper authorities.
Failing to do so could result in a misdemeanor offense.
However, State Sen. Linda Stewart has sponsored SB-768, which would up the penalties from a misdemeanor to a felony. That bill passed the committee by a unanimous vote on Tuesday.
So I'm curious...the title of the article is "Florida bill would crack down on illegal body dumping"...this seems to imply that there are LEGAL ways to dump a body?
“Because I guess (sheriffs) have to get a warrant, and they won’t give them a warrant unless it’s a felony charge.” Great. Laws are now being proposed on guesses of what LEO's have to do, as opposed to actual facts.
I can see the new “To Catch a Corpse”, where the police will dump a dead body with hidden cameras and data capture and after a few days of it stinking up the area, arrest everyone that stopped to look. Sounds like another money grab. MadMarlin
We're already up to three felonies per day. So they want to add a fourth?

You run across a dead body every day? And Democrats don't count, they're only brain-dead.

Prove I saw it. Go ahead, try and prove it.
ReplyDeleteThey don't need - or want - proof.
DeleteWait, burying a dead body (that you didn't kill) in your backyard is not a felony?
