Knight’s legal battle: Can a judge tell a sheriff where to provide security?

[Unregistered]

Cant see the Forrest for the trees. Sheriff Knight is in a great position. The Courts wil rule like it always does and the Sheriff can tell. Steube " Hey I tried. So Sorry its out of my hands. " Sheriff Knight already has the man power. He is playing the political hand and in the end he will have done all he could. Therefore It will be a win win for him. You people are so caught up in your own agendas you have missed the missed the big picture.

When you were a little boy, you looked under the bed for the boogeyman. However, when Chief Judge Charles Williams and his 2DCA judicial colleagues look under their beds, they look for Knight. That's why he's un-affectionally known as the knightmare. Stay safe and don't look under your bed!

Knight may be able to instill a Nazi-like "fear" in SSO employees (as an employer), but he cannot do that with judges.

The Chief Judge had a legal opportunity to throw Knight in jail for contempt of court, but he let Knight slip through the cracks by not putting him in jail. And now, if Knight is able legally put down the judges, then Knight will be proven to be 100% politically unstoppable. Unfortunately, absolute power corrupts absolutely. Knight subsequently needs to be legally checkmated and put in his political place. However, the jury is still out on that one. When and what will the appellate court rule?

Chief Deputy Col. Kurt Hoffman recommends removing security from the Clerk of Courts building.

Hoffman issued a legal opinion that the Sarasota Sheriff's Office's is "exposed to liability for restricting people entering [the Clerk of Court] building by restricting their firearm rights."

Hoffman also said that canceling security would save money.

Knight concurred with Hoffman's findings.

The whole thing sounds like a crock set-up that backfired on Kurt Hoffman, Tom Knight and Greg Steube. Things didn't go as planned because judges stopped them.

I can smell it in the air. A legal decision is coming very soon on the case between Knight vs. the 12th Judicial Circuit. Will Knight be forced to obey the court? Stay tuned!

You are trying to make this a big deal and it is not. Courts rule on disputes all the time, and the Sheriff with comply if the Court orders him to. If you are so upset by what the Sheriff does leave. You post the same stuff over and over and everyone know the information, move on. Why not find something positive to post about? I am sure after this you will turn it around and cut and past the same stuff over again. you are a sad sad person.

This isn't a garden variety dispute. Whether you like it or not, this is an EXTREMELY unusual case. In fact, Knight's public defiance of the chief judge almost landed him in jail for "contempt of court." Can you name one other Florida sheriff who publicly defied a court order from a chief judge? Nope, you can't. If the judge had put Knight in our own jail, then that would have been even bigger news, but the judge chose not to do that, probably as a professional courtesy. Anybody else would have been arrested. Knight used his one (1) get out of jail card free.

...and the Sheriff will comply, if the Court orders him to...

Kurt, you can bet your bottom dollar that Knight will obey the appeals court. If Knight defies the court for a second time, then he will most certainly be arrested for contempt of court. Knight will not risk a publicized arrest for disobedience to the court.
