FORT LAUDERDALE — A state corrections officer is accused of stealing a PlayStation 3 entertainment system during a search of a Pompano Beach home.

Tranell L. Smith, 37, of Coconut Creek, supervises offenders on probation and has worked for the Florida Department of Corrections since 2007.

Smith was acting in an official capacity with the Broward Sheriff's gang unit Wednesday during the search of a house on the 200 block of Northwest 15th Court in Pompano Beach.

"Hundreds of Probation officers arrested and charged for violating Florida State Statute by consistently supervising offenders above the statutory maximums"! :shock:

There is no such thing! LOL

REALLY? Lo and behold!!!!

948.10?Community control programs.—(1)?The Department of Corrections shall develop and administer a community control program. This complementary program shall be rigidly structured and designed to accommodate offenders who, in the absence of such a program, would have been incarcerated. The program shall focus on the provision of sanctions and consequences which are commensurate with the seriousness of the crime. The program shall offer the courts and the Parole Commission an alternative, community-based method to punish an offender in lieu of incarceration when the offender is a member of one of the following target groups:
(a)?Probation violators charged with technical violations or misdemeanor violations.
(b)?Parole violators charged with technical violations or misdemeanor violations.
(c)?Individuals found guilty of felonies, who, due to their criminal backgrounds or the seriousness of the offenses, would not be placed on regular probation.
(2)?The department shall commit not less than 10 percent of the parole and probation field staff and supporting resources to the operation of the community control program. Caseloads should be restricted to a maximum of 25 cases per officer in order to ensure an adequate level of staffing. Community control is an individualized program in which the offender is restricted to noninstitutional quarters or restricted to his or her own residence subject to an authorized level of limited freedom.

A-ha, and ignorance of the law is no excuse-- He he. :lol:

If the statute says 25 miles per hour and you go 27, you broke the law! :cop:

Sorry, I guess I posted without researching. ops:
Anyway, nice find!

The legislature has made it clear they dont care if those statutes arent met if DC is hurting on money.

You got a link to that??

And you can't say that you were "only following orders." It didn't work at Nuremburg! :snicker:
