Lawsuit: Florida County Uses ‘Predictive Policing’ To Arrest Residents For Petty Code Violations
Forbes - April 26, 2021

Case 8:21-cv-00555 Document 1 Filed 03/10/21
United States District Court Middle District of Florida Tampa Division
Dalanea Taylor; Tammy Heilman; Darleene Deagan; and Robert A. Jones, Plaintiffs
v.
Chris Nocco, in his official capacity as Pasco County Sheriff, Defendant

The Pasco County Sheriff’s Office punishes people for crimes they have not yet committed and may never commit. It first predicts that certain people may commit future crimes, and then it harasses these people—and their relatives and friends—with relentless visits to their homes at all hours of the day, with unwarranted stops and seizures, and with repeated citations for petty code violations. In the words of a former Pasco deputy, the policy is meant to “[m]ake their lives miserable until they move or sue.”  Here, four Pasco County residents sue under the First, Fourth, and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution.

TARGETED
Pasco’s sheriff created a futuristic program to stop crime before it happens.
It monitors and harasses families across the county.
