2. What individuals are authorized to inspect and receive copies of public records?
Section 119.01, F.S., provides that [i]t is the policy of this state that all state, county, and municipal records are open for personal inspection and copying by any person. (e.s.) A state citizenship requirement was deleted from the law in 1975. A public employee is a person within the meaning of Ch. 119, F.S. and, as such, possesses the same right of inspection as any other person. AGO 75-175. Likewise, a county is any person who is allowed to seek public records under Ch. 119, F.S. Hillsborough County, Florida v. Buccaneers Stadium Limited Partnership, No. 99-0321 (Fla. 13th Cir. Ct. February 5, 1999), affirmed per curiam, 758 So. 2d 676 (Fla. 2d DCA 2000). Thus, the law provides any member of the public access to public records, whether he or she be the most outstanding civic citizen or the most heinous criminal. Church of Scientology Flag Service Org., Inc. v. Wood, No. 97-688CI-07 (Fla. 6th Cir. Ct. February 27, 1997). [A]s long
as the citizens of this state desire and insist upon open government and liberal public records disclosure, as a cost of that freedom public officials have to put up with demanding citizens even when they are obnoxious as long as they violate no laws. State v. Colby, No. MM96-317A-XX (Fla. Highlands Co. Ct. May 23, 1996). Even though a public agency may believe that a person or group are fanatics, harassers or are extremely annoying, the public records are available to
all of the citizens of the State of Florida. Salvadore v. City of Stuart, No. 91-812 CA (Fla. 19th Cir. Ct. December 17, 1991). And see Curry v. State, 811 So. 2d 736, 741 (Fla. 4th DCA 2002) (defendants conduct in making over 40 public records requests concerning victim constituted a legitimate purpose, and thus cannot violate the stalking law because the right to obtain the records is established by statute and acknowledged in the state constitution). Cf. James v.
Loxahatchee Groves Water Control District, 820 So. 2d 988 (Fla. 4th DCA 2002), concluding that a trial court erred when it failed to hold a hearing before denying a request to require a district to permit inspection at the district offices, rather than at an off-premises location. The agency argued that it would be disruptive to require that the records inspection be conducted at its offices. Id. However, the appeals court ruled that a hearing should have been held to determine
whether the requestor, who was in litigation with the district, should be allowed to view the records at the district offices, and if so, under what conditions. Id.
3. Must an individual show a legitimate interest or noncommercial interest in public records before being allowed to inspect or copy same?
No. The requestor is not required to explain the purpose or reason for a public records request. The motivation of the person seeking the records does not impact the persons right to see them under the Public Records Act. Curry v. State, 811 So. 2d 736, 742 (Fla. 4th DCA 2002). See also Timoney v. City of Miami Civilian Investigative Panel, 917 So. 2d 885, 886n.3 (Fla. 3d DCA 2005) (generally, a persons motive in seeking access to public records is irrelevant); Staton v. McMillan, 597 So. 2d 940, 941 (Fla. 1st DCA 1992), review dismissed sub nom., Staton v. Austin, 605 So. 2d 1266 (Fla. 1992) (petitioners reasons for seeking access to public records are immaterial); Lorei v. Smith, 464 So. 2d 1330, 1332 (Fla. 2d DCA 1985), review denied, 475 So. 2d 695 (Fla. 1985) (legislative objective underlying the creation of Ch. 119 was to insure to the people of Florida the right freely to gain access to governmental records; the purpose
of such inquiry is immaterial); and News-Press Publishing Company, Inc. v. Gadd, 388 So. 2d 276, 278 (Fla. 2d DCA 1980) (the newspapers motives [for seeking the documents], as well as the hospitals financial harm and public harm defenses, are irrelevant in an action to compel compliance with the Public Records Act). (Si these sites seem like they have a "right" to do business as they are...BUT>>->
Thus, an agency is not authorized to impose conditions or limit access to public records based on a suspicion that the request may be for an improper purpose. Inf. Op. to Cook, May 27, 2011. However, as noted in that opinion, Florida Statutes impose criminal penalties for the unauthorized use of personal identification information for fraudulent or harassment purposes and for the criminal use of a public record or public records information. See ss. 817.568 and 817.569, F.S.
These sites are harassing, terrorizing and intimidating a whole population of people. The site www.mugshots.com is seeking financial gain by requesting that they be able to use public record as their own and ask that a person who would like to opt/out of their data base pay a third party (not them directly-as they want to keep their identity a secret). for improper use and unauthorized use of personal identification information for fraudulent or harassment purposes and for the criminal use of a public record or public records information. (See ss. 817.568 and 817.569, F.S. (P145)http://myfloridalegal.com/webfiles.nsf/WF/KGRG-8RAQUF/$file/2012-SunshineManual.pdf............

BOISE The Ada County sheriff says its own website is being used to extort money from people who have been arrested. Since 2003, the Ada County Sheriffs Office has been posting daily mugshots of those arrested on their website. But, Sheriff Gary Raney says recently third party websites have been "scraping" the mugshot and names of those on their website and then placing the information on their own website. Scraping websites, like Boisemugshots.com, has thousands of mugshots of those arrested since early 2011.
The photos on Ada Countys website are deleted after five days. Boisemugshots.com provides a link to another site that removes the information from the Internet for $99. It's really a form of extortion, said Raney. This is something that really goes against the fundamentals of what I sense we should be putting that mugshot out there for. Raney says he is now considering taking down the website to protect those who have been arrested. There's really an injustice that happens to people, said Raney. Raney is also looking into increasing the security on the site to prevent other sites from taking information.

11 Commandment in "Computerland"
11.Thou Shalt, Do NO EVIL with the talents of knowing how to wirte computer programing.
A) Thou Shalt not drive the public crazy by evading direct contact; Be real and accessible. Don't mess with peoples heads. You make more money with honey.
B) Thou Shalt not give truncated data, misleading information or "False light" information. Sometimes less information is more. You can get the same point accross. (This can be a valuable site).
C) Thou Shalt be Accountable and Responsible with the Tools that they have been given, for the tools can be good, as well as VERY dangerous and evil to all.
D) Thou Shalt NOT play GOD in "Computerland", with a website or Domain. For that is destructive to all and brings a lack of Integrity to everyone and the product of "the internet, "the World Wide Web" in "Computerland".
E) Thou Shalt, Allow for a take down policy- OPT/OUT of your site that is reasonable
F) Thou Shalt Allow for Refunds, when people are NOT satisified with your product.
The public purcahses products (In "Computerland")" from reputation defenders" "In Good Faith". When they are under pressure and "in need", it is not a time to "sucker punch" "the public" and keep them confused
. G) Thou Shalt not play with the Trust of the people for
TRUST builds Intergrity.
