Threatening to throw the Sheriff in jail unless he violates the law? I wonder who the judge plans on making the arrest. I also wonder how the judge would react if the Sheriff responded by arresting him for abuse of power. Now that would be really interesting.
We have the psycho judges. It would be nice if we had some of those sheriffs and legislators to balance the teapot tyrants. Last I heard, the sheriff called his bluff and the judge agreed to let the Florida Second District Court of Appeal decide.
Situations like this are a great example why fines should be paid by the official violating the law, not the taxpayers.
