  Probably more alarming that county sheriff is an elected position, so he was voted into office by voters in that county.
context: Being accused of a crime is just about as bad as being convicted from a publicity point of view. Arrest records, charges, mugshots, etc are made public and then spread by news media, blogs, and even extortion sites. An arrest alone (even with no charge or conviction) shows up on a background check. And then, when they decide you're innocent, nothing new is published and none of the old things are redacted, so you remain guilty in the eyes of the public. You will always look like a guilty criminal in Google search results. It's insane how it works. >
  
  This is why fair judicial systems have a blanket ban on publishing names and pictures of the accused until sentenced guilty.
  Not the vindictive systems though. >
  
  The counter-argument to that is that our justice system is transparent. The media and public know who is being arrested and charged, so the government is held accountable and can't be doing misdeeds in secret.
  I don't know what the answer is or which evil is worse but I can see how keeping things secret has problems too. >
  
  I think the answer is either a published retraction and/or deletion of the original article if the person is found not guilty or the record is expunged. >
  
  Damage is done by then. >
  
  Agreed. Obviously the real solution is not publishing a thing until the case is closed and there is a conviction. But even after a conviction if someone is able to do their sentence and qualify for expungement, there is no reason that should still be searchable. >
  
  Keep the media out of the courtroom would honestly do a lot for it in my opinion, I'm fine with court and arrest records being open to the public but the media plays it up to get people watching/reading. >
  
  The problem is transparency. If a court is closed to the media (and public by default), then we can't guarantee a fair trial as we can't be sure what happened in the court room. Records are good, but who's to say the records are accurate. >
  
  Sheriffs are out here trying to get tik tok famous.

  Probably not. And that's why police shouldn't be elected. >
  
  You think they should be... Handed positions by whom?
  You think a Sheriff hand picked by Desantis is gonna be better?   Maybe if it came down to the federal level?
  All the way down from the new Supreme Court  v2.0  Where precedent doesn't matter. >
  
  
  Handed positions by whom?
  
  Town mayor, after getting a passing grade at an academy. Preferably an academy nowhere near a Blue Oyster bar. >
  
  You do know the jurisdiction of sheriff isn't a town though, right? >
  
  Yes, a town can be fully within the jurisdiction of a sheriff but it is a county position. Many counties have many towns. >
  
  Good. It's disgusting that law enforcement officials make spectacle out of the performance of their jobs. 
  I understand that Sheriffs are, at least to some degree, a political position... but can we please stop with the grandstanding and attention mongering? >
  
  Most people who are in trouble with the law are not criminals. They shouldn't have the low points in their life used as a carnival act for another persons ego boost. >
  
  Even if they are in trouble, everyone deserves at least a modicum of dignity, when you turn your justice system into a joke like this, that’s all it will ever be >
  
  It's already a joke. Sex offenders have a public registry, meanwhile, murderers do not. Why one and not the other? Why is pissing outside a sexual offence? Because law, aside from the lobbying, is just people throwing out suggestions and hoping one will stick. >
  
  I’ve always made this same argument, I’d be much more concerned to know my neighbor was convicted for physical violence of some sort rather than the low level behavior that gets most people on the sex offended registry >
  
  It's generally not "low level behavior" that gets you on the sex offender registry. >
  
  My friend went to a christian summer camp in Georgia (the state) and got caught having sex with a 16/17 yo. He was 18 at the time. I forget what the details were but her parents were very overprotective (hence Christian summer camp) and tried to get him charged with rape or some other sexual crime involving a minor. Thankfully it didn't stick but he's on their sex offender registry now. You can definitely be put on there for stupid reasons >
  
  
  Thankfully it didn't stick but he's on their sex offender registry now.
  
  I call bullshit to this story. I don't believe any state has a registry for non convicted individuals. It would be a constitutional violation. He was convicted of a 'sex crime'.
  In fact he can request to be taken off after a certain amount of time, and a judge agrees he doesn't pose a risk in GA
  And multiple crimes have been removed from the registry and if he was convicted of one of them he can request to be taken off. 
  Looking at the rules, there is no way he wasn't convicted a felony sex crime and he is on the registry. Your friend is likely lying to you, and you can find out by going to the registry site and typing in their name. >
  
  This was over 5 years ago so I probably got the details wrong. Most certainly wasn't charged with a felony because I have zero doubts his parents would have just left him there and disowned him because they were also batshit crazy. I do remember it only had to be on there for a certain amount of time like 3 years or something so he's probably not on it anymore. I knew the girl he was with (they were dating in secret, not just a random girl) and although I dislike the guy, he most certainly wouldn't have done anything to her that would constitute being labelled as a sex offender, and both he, the girl, and surprisingly his parents were fighting the accusations. So regardless of the details that I'm misremembering, he was on the registry for stupid reasons. Possibly one of the "removed crimes" you mentioned since it was so long ago >
  
  The changes were done in 2010. From what I can find he would have to have been convicted of a felony in order to be on the list. 
  There is often a lot more to these stories than the victim or the offender are willing to say. And it sounds like there is a lot more to this particular one. >
  
  The SO used to do that shit in my area. They would make “fugitives of the week” post. They would take peoples FB profile photos and put them on the list. It was 99% of the time for shit like unpaid traffic tickets. It’s fucking disgusting. Cops wonder why people hate them so much. >
  
  I'm not sure if they wonder, or don't care. >
  
  This is amazing.  Thanks for sharing this. >
  
  I bet my left nut that a Florida judge rules the police have no duty to know for certain you are  wanted if you are not in their custody >
  
  If you read the article, the man was LITERALLY in their custody one of the times he “won” on the wheel. 
  Another time, he had just need released from their custody, after a judge returned him to probation. 
  It should also be noted that his probation was a result of a judge ordering a withholding of adjudication,  and he wasn’t convicted. So, technically, as long as he was adhering to the terms of the probation (he was arrested for violation, but was released when it was dropped, and returned to the same terms—which was the time he had been recently released, yet still appeared on the wheel), he literally and legally had not been convicted of a crime. 
  So, if someone who technically wasn’t even a convicted criminal is considered worthy of this county’s “top ten most wanted felons,” then the sheriff’s budget needs to be severely slashed. There’s clearly an excessive surplus of funds, based on the production surrounding the “wheel of misfortune,” especially when one of their most concerning “fugitives” is someone who has been found by a judge to not require conviction. >
  
  
  he literally and legally had not been convicted of a crime.
  
  "But he could have been a fugitive somewhere. And that's enough facts for us. Americans want to feel safe. It seems like you don't like freedom. You look kind of guilty yourself... Get back here. Halt. Quit resisting arrest with your screams as I taze you or I'll give you some more freedom..." >
  
  Taze? This is Florida sir, we support the ammo and firearm industry and have an economic duty to use them to shoot you dead. >
  
  Electric guns? Get that hippie shit outta here >
  
  In the state of Florida once you get your mugshot taken Sunshine Laws make it so that the mugshot immediately becomes public information. Even if you are found innocent, if someone googles your name the mugshot will remain. There are “businesses” that will scrape the internet for these pics and post them online and on billboards and make you pay to have them taken down. 
  Florida jails are funded by headcount, encouraging officers to be less discriminatory in what offenses they deem to be arrestable because who cares? They get paid regardless. 
  Then you get this other convenient little problem: how can you get a job if every time your name is Googled the employer can see your mugshot and what you were charged with, even if the charges were dropped or your name was cleared. It’s almost like you’d be forced to turn to less legal avenues of work which would most likely put you back into the jailhouse (funding them once again) or to a much lower paying job, such as a tipped position which only has to pay you $2.75 an hour in Florida. Don’t like it? Perfect, it’s a “Work at Will” state, which means your employer can fire whoever they want, whenever they, for whyever they want, without prior notice and rob you of benefits. 
  Couple all that with Floridas terrible education stats and policy that only grants highschoolers 4 years to get their diploma (if you fail a single year and can’t make up the credits by a certain date, you are barred from walking the stage and getting a diploma) you have a state that literally thrives off of tourism and perpetuating cycles of poverty and crime. 
  Source: Spent 26 years there and my brother spent 10+ years fighting to have a mugshot of him, taken after an arrest for a crime he didn’t commit and was absolved of, out of public domain so he could get a job. 
  Fuck Florida. >
  
  I was in a township that was successfully sued for extortion because their department had "Mugshot Monday" where they would round up the weekly arrests and put them on a wall of shame online.
  You could only remove the mugshot by paying the police department an insane sum of money. Even if you fought your case successfully they would leave your mugshot up if you didn't pay the fine.
  Thankfully that stopped after a black college professor was wrongfully accused and lost a job after he was doxxed by a student who dug up his mugshot with a Google search, despite the charges being dropped by the police after his lawyer wanted to review the badge cam footage.
  This is what people mean when they want to defund the police. I don't want GOOD police officer to be undersupplied, but there is a ton of side money from shady shit for police departments ranging from kickbacks from crime scene cleanup companies to straight up extortion like these examples >

So you pretend that your neighbors and family members are actually good people who are forced to do awful things by the TV shows they watch. Decent human beings have no interest in Fox News. >
  
  They can absolutely be both. >
  
  Friendly reminder to never get arrested in Florida. 
  The extensive state public records laws allow law enforcement to post your mugshot and arrest record online indefinitely whether or not you are convicted of the crime. Even if you have a lawyer seal or expunge your record, scammers can hold this information hostage as blackmail. >

  This is great. We definitely need to make it harder for people who have committed crimes to reintegrate into society and get jobs. That way, we can create more crime and give the police more work, costing us extra money and creating needless violence.
  It's really an ideal situation when you think about it >

  That kind of naming and shaming crap should never be weaponized on social media (or traditional media for that matter)   
  I got into an argument with the state police here about them posting mug shots of people on social media and not bothering to make it clear that these people are INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY  
  You have all these moronic MAGA hats upvoting the shit out of the shaming posts.. and making comments about how they should 'never get out of jail'.    How can that not affect those people a year from now.. after they have been charged and found innocent or charges were 'dropped'?  Whenever their name gets googled they get mug shots and accusations.    
  The Police think they are being all edgy.. but this is bullshit.  And should be illegal. >

  I've been very conflicted recently about the position of sheriff existing at all. It's obvious that's it's become just another political position to be ran for, so people are going to do everything they can to campaign for election or reelection.
  But a lot of people don't understand the actual authority a sheriff has! They're it. They're what's SUPPOSED to be able to protect us from the elected officials. Mayor, treasurer, trustee, auditor or even the chief of police... The sheriff is there to keep them in check.
  When shit hits the fan the person we should expect to do what's best for the community... He's probably busy campaigning. >

  Somehow we have the space center — so some of the cleverest literal rocket scientists in the nation — mixed with some of the dumbest Motherfuckers to ever mouth breath. >
  
  I worked in aerospace there as a mechanical engineer. First, many engineers and scientists there are not any more intelligent on average than any other profession. Secondly, a lot of those rocket scientists are fucking weirdos. The ones we think of as super smart can be absolutely brilliant about one area but lack critical thinking about anything else. It's like all their mental energy is used up in their area of expertise. But their know it all attitude extends across the board.

  This happened to my brother about 15 years ago. What the news and police did was wait for the warrant to drop. Then as they were airing the next "fugitive finder" news segment they would send the cops to apprehend them before the person even knew they had a warrant while saying these people were on the run. Then had the audacity to act like the tips from the news station is what got the people caught. Really shitty.

  Oh that guy..the same guy who advocated corporal punishment in Brevard schools. >
  
  I'm seeing a lot of arguments here against the concept of a sheriff and elected police force in general.  Allow me to counterpoint.
  An elected police force is far more favorable to the populace because of its accountability, at a local level, to the population over which it has authority.  You have a direct say in who gets to hold that position.  It is a public election, literally anyone can put their name in the hat.  There are incompetent dick jockeys out there everywhere, cronyism politics will always happen, at all levels of government, but that is preferable to a police force which is an effective black box into which you have little to no direct say about who is conducting the enforcement.
  You haven't solved the problem at all of the old boys club with policing by removing the office of sherrif, you have just removed by one or two steps the people who control hiring, the mayor, whose job it is to assign a police chief who may then control hiring within the department.  In my experience, it is far easier to replace a poor sheriff than a poor mayor, city manager, or city council who has this power.
  Bad actors like this guy, theoretically, shouldn't be able to last very long because of how obviously unpopular actions like this are to the community.  All you have to do to get rid of a guy like this is go around spreading the word at your local businesses, your churches, your schools, whatever.  Put the word out within your community and guys like this tend to disappear.  Compare this to entities like the state police or the myriad of other policing entities such as college campus or city cops.  You have, essentially, zero recourse to holding those individuals accountable, outside of legal actions and lawsuits.  They are hired by the state and city or whatever and are far outside the reach of the local community to remove.  
  Local policing by elected officials are fundamentally more responsive to the community, even the crooks.  They have to at least attempt to preserve the illusion of being in service to the good of the community.  Not to say that they aren't leeches grifting off their positions, some of them definitely are, but it happens in departmental policing too and it's harder to see and respond to.  
  Same thing for your local judges/prosecutors.  Voting in your county government is a hugely underappreciated means of forcing the government to be accountable to the community.  For that matter, voting in general is underappreciated.  Get out there and vote. >
  
  What the absolute fuck is wrong with Florida? >
  
  Not just slander and defamation, but also reckless endangerment.  What if some wannabe or real cop shot the victim while attempting an arrest? >
  
  I both am and am not surprised it isn’t Grady Judd. He’s absolutely do something like this, but there’s also lots of Sheriffs in Florida who want to be just like him.
  Edit: He’s only seeking $50k? I’d have at least doubled that if you’re claiming a loss of work and mental distress. >

  In a country where "Innocent until proven Guilty" is supposed to be the call of Justice, it seems rather hypocritical that the police post mugshots of people arrested, not convicted, for a crime. 
  Personally, having been mistakenly arrested because I was in the wrong place at the wrong time, getting my face plastered on some mugshot poster board could have screwed me for life.
  Fortunately, I was a minor and the guy they were after told them I was not a part of their group and just a bystander. Still, my father was pissed. Probably more that he had to drive to pick me up than that I got arrested, but either way, I caught a lot of flack. >
  
  I would like us to pass laws that don't allow us to post up mugshots of people unless there's a compelling reason to do so.
  Just saying that you captured someone isn't a reason.
  If there's a valid reason to think there might be more victims, then it might make sense to share a mugshot.
  Too often I see local police departments around me blasting people's photos the moment they capture them.
  I see it as extrajudicial punishment. >
  
  Bets the guy gets harrassed by cops going forward >
  
  America needs to fucking professionalize its entire policing system. There's no reason that individual counties, municipalities or townships need to be electing law enforcement officers or running their own police departments. No other country does this. Policing should be run at the state or federal level. >
  
  He's only suing for $50K? He should sue for more. Losing a job will affect career path and growth even if no one else going forward thinks he's a fugitive. >

  Great example is that Scorpion unit name the Memphis police came up with. What are you... 12 year olds naming a club? Or fucking cops? >
  
  $50,000 seems way too low for lost wages + emotional distress. >
  
  Why the fuck is this a thing anyway
  Like it's funny but only because of its absurdity >
  
  Seriously how many Florida sheriffs finished high school? >
  
  This guy looks like he eats every fugitive he finds. >
  
  People in law enforcement are sick and cruel >
  
  Are they trying to live out their Cowboy Bebop fantasies jfc. At least do your research first >
  
  It's weird how all law enforcement officers skew towards cruelty in their senses of humor.
  Almost like that means something. >
  
  As someone who has been falsely charged with a gun felony and got it dropped after I made it clear we're going to a jury trial,  I feel for this guy. That was 10 years ago and if you look up my record online it still reads as if I was charged and convicted of the crime. The entire basis of our judicial system is that anyone charged with a crime is supposed to be PRESUMED INNOCENT and not the other way around which is what happens today. Hope he gets millions >
  
  Wayne Ivey is a piece of shit.
  He’s a big Trump guy. Used to fly to the White House back when the failed former President was there for photo ops. >
  
  These POS think they have way more charisma and are liked way more than they actually are.
  Nobody wants your face or cardboard box personality on a screen. Jump scare.
  Clueless knuckle draggers >
  
  How about making illegal as hell for fat fucking asshole like this pcs of shit om the video for having wheel of fuckin fugitive. Fucking Florida! Dumb mother fuckers. >
  
  So cops refuse to be video taped while on the streets responding to calls, but have no problem taping themselves doing cringe shit like this for TikTok likes? Fuck all of this. >
  
  Some jobs are suited to allow it's employees to have some public yuks now and again. Laws Enforcement isn't one of those. >
  
  wtf is wheel of fugitive >
  
  Average Florida performance art. >
  
  That guy looks like he might be hiding a few fugitives in his outfit god damn. I don’t believe he could pass a 5th graders pacer fitness test. >
  
  50k is chump change. Should be that cops salary for ten years. >
  
  How did I know it was Brevard? >
  
  The sherif in the video is perfect specimen of the body type for law enforcement and their dedication and diligence to it. Bloated amount of income, unregulated, stuffed into something that has way too many responsibilities to be able to hold it all back without a malfunction, delusional on what they are actually seeing when they look in the mirror. >
  
  Yeah, a thumb. >
  
  You can get a "fugitive from justice" warrant based off an accusation from anyone outside of the jurisdiction you live in. The jurisdiction you are caught in can hold you for 30 days, but they typically wait 30 days and then file extensions. >
  
  Classic #FAFO case, obviously they’re at ‘finding out’ stage after their ‘fucking around.’ - Ignorance sells & ol’ Florida Man is always buying. >
  
  Lmfaaooo of course it's Florida. >
  
  Florida is the absolute worst >
  
  Not only was this idiot hired as a policy officer. He rose to the rank of sheriff. Frightening country
