Floridians offered $1 million to snitch on citizens who 'hate government'

[bripat9643]

It looks like the lib/nazis are reverting true to form.


Earlier this week, the Florida House and Senate have awarded Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw a $1 million grant for an intelligence collection program against Americans who "hate government".

Bradshaw will use $1 million to launch “prevention intervention” units which include specially trained police officers and government employees to respond to phone calls on a 24-hour hotline. The amount represents a 1000 (x10) percent increase from what was originally earmarked by state legislators.

Those who will be investigated include citizens who report hating the U.S. government. While the sheriff's goal is to avoid crime, the controversially funded program is being tagged by opponents and libertarians as an example of a government initiative that intrudes on the lives of ordinary Americans.

This would not be the first time that citizens of a country were encouraged to report on those who did not follow protocol.

Scary stuff, if true.

Can I report myself and collect the reward?

Sadly, the Florida House and Senate are controlled by Republicans, not Democrats.

As if there is a difference.
