Knight's NEW office v. NO new jail

[Unregistered]

FSS 30.15 stipulates the statutory duties and obligations of a Florida sheriff. You can read it by clicking here or here is the full link:

(scroll about halfway down the page until you see 30.15)

Interesting. These two things (in FSS 30.15) have caused "angst" between Knight and the BCC (and between Knight and the 12th Judicial Circuit):

(c) Attend all sessions of the circuit court and county court held in their counties.
(d) Execute all orders of the boards of county commissioners of their counties, for which services

It looks like Knight is required by LAW to provide that stuff. lol

CHAPTER 30 TITLE V "The County sheriff (Florida) is a Florida constitutional officer and a part of the state judicial branch.

The Sheriff has a duty to enforce both the Florida Constitution and Florida state laws and statutes, and to provide for the security, safety and well being of its citizens. This is accomplished through the delivery of law enforcement services, the operation of the County Jail, and the provision of court security. The Office of the Sheriff functions as the Executive Officer of the court.

Under Florida law, The Sheriff derives his legal authority from the Constitution of the State of Florida. The Sheriff is vested with the ability to appoint and direct deputies who will act in his name and office to enforce the appropriate and applicable laws of the State of Florida. Those deputies of the County Sheriff's Office who are Certified Law Enforcement officers must maintain a thorough working knowledge of the laws they enforce and the underlying principals from which they emanate."

A sheriff is "the executive officer of the court," which is why Knight must obey a court order from a chief judge, regarding when and where Knight must provide court security.

Regarding a jail: it is unknown how the Orange County sheriff was able to divest himself of all jail responsibilities (now the Orange County BCC runs the jail).

Snip:

That's a good point and that's exactly why Florida judges do not order municipal police chiefs when and where to conduct security checkpoints in court facilities. That's because municipal police chiefs:
- are not part of the state judicial branch
- and are not the executive officer of the court in each county

We were able to figure this out at an anonymous internet chat forum, but Tom Knight, Kurt Hoffman Greg Steube were not able to figure it out. The Second District Court of Appeals will explain it to them. LOL

Knight gives the impression that he doens't like being told what to do. However, just as our agency has executive officers, who must obey Knight, so the court has executive officers, who must obey the chief judge. The position of sheriff is statutorily governed. Knight acts as if he is completely independent of the court system, but he is not and he is subject to it. How come Hoffman could not figure it out? After all, Hoffman has a gumshoe law degree. He should consider getting a refund -- or read better comic books.

Look at the idiotic position that Hoffman put Pat Dugan in ---- trying to defend the idiotic position that Knight doesn't have to obey the courts. That was the final straw the broke the camels back and that's why Dugan began putting in applications to work elsewhere. Dugan did an outstanding job defending an idiotic unsustainable legal position ---- and Hoffman put him in that odd position ---- which was very embarrassing. Ask him.

So instead of strategically planning for a new jail, Knight has chosen to fight an unwinnable legal battle against the 12 Judicial Circuit, simply because he doens't want to provide specific security checkpoints in certain court buildings. That is a gross waste of limited taxpayer dollars that could have been better spent on public safety, such as strategic planning for a new jail, which Sarasota County desperately needs.

Waaaah put some cots down. Its a revolving door.

Would you like to line the hallway at the new HQ with prisoner’s cots? It takes planning, unless you want to violate accreditation standards, which we pay big bucks to achieve.

Two words describes what's going on with both Knight and Hoffman: Pride and Incompetence. There is nothing worse than when incompetence, especially when it's buoyed by pride.

As for the jail...Waaaah put some cots down in the hallways.
