Florida Crazies: Miami Man Gets 30 Days In Jail For Spreading “Revenge Porn”

Scorned fellas better think twice before “exposing” their exes… Scorned Man Get 30 Days In Jail For Posting “Revenge Porn” A Miami was just sentenced to 30 days in jail for being petty online and posting his ex-girlfriend’s nudes. Via Miami Herald Months after dozens of explicit photos of her were posted online in a campaign of cyber-harassment, the 29-year-old Miami victim remains shaken. “I do not have words to describe how this has affected my life. I used to feel damaged beyond repair, and sometimes I still do, but I will overcome it,” the woman said in a letter read to the court. “The paranoia, fear and constant anxiety attacks made me feel like I did not deserve to live even one day in peace.” But Friday offered closure as her ex-boyfriend, a Miami Beach information technology consultant named Antonio Giansante, accepted responsibility for spreading the “revenge porn.” He agreed to spend 30 days in jail and complete five years of probation. According to prosecutors, Giansante tried 40 times to post the pornographic images to her employer’s Facebook page. Miami Beach police detectives traced the spreading of the images to Giansante’s computer at his Euclid Avenue apartment. Giansante, a former soccer coach in Puerto Rico, had begun dating the former player when she was 16. They were together for several years — and she consented to some nude photos, which were taken when she was underage. But many of the photos and some videos were recorded covertly without her consent. After moving to Miami, the two broke up in 2012 because of “his jealousy and possessiveness,” according to a search warrant. After the breakup, coworkers began getting Facebook and Instagram requests from profiles featuring the nude images. She found a website that featured 62 images. She told Miami Beach police that she almost quit her job and “has received panic attacks as a result of the tormenting conduct.” Giansante was also fined $5,000 which he must pay to two charities in exchange for not having a felony record. Hope he learned his lesson!

Florida Crazies: Butt-Hurt Cop Says “People Will Die” Over Obama’s Ban On Police Tanks

Florida Cop Says “People Will Die” Over Obama’s Police Ban Of Military Vehicles Oh, the dramatics… Ever since President Barack Obama signed a piece of legislation banning all military vehicles from police departments nationwide, the boys in blue have all had sad faces. Via Orlando Sentinel “For some agencies, this is all they can afford,”(Volusia County Sheriff Ben) Johnson said, “leaving their people on potential suicide missions.” Volusia’s tracked vehicle can go through terrain that others with wheels can’t, he said. The department doesn’t use it every day, but it has taken bullets for deputies, and the ban is “taking a valuable piece of equipment out of our fleet,” Johnson said. “People will die because of this decision,” he said. Says another of Ben Johnson’s blue brethren… Osceola County Sheriff Bob Hansell said he’s disappointed with the ban and not having the vehicle will have an effect on certain operations. “This vehicle is used to rescue citizens and protect deputies against armed aggressor(s) during critical incidents,” he said in a statement. “Law enforcement is trained and experienced to effectively utilize this equipment and it will have an impact on our responses to emergency situations.” Apparently, before police gained access to the vehicles that roam the middle east, law enforcement officials had no idea how to keep officers from getting killed. Apparently, these tanks are the only thing standing in between a cop’s forhead and a hot slug from a Glock. Kinda makes you wonder how police fought crime for the past 500 years… Image via AP

Prisoner Carves 666 Into His Head…Backwards

Nebraska Inmate Makes Mistake While Self-Mutilating His Face An Omaha inmate carved the number 666 into his forehead , using a mirror as his guide…but with a poor grasp of how reflections work, he ended up making a series of inverted 9’s instead. But it seems it may have been his latest stunt in a bid to avoid the death penalty for his crimes. Via Omaha.com : Jenkins told a Douglas County judge during a recent telephone hearing that he “self-mutilated” by trying to carve “666” into his forehead. The problem? Jenkins was looking in a mirror. So he carved the 6s backward — making them look more like upside-down 9s, according to court officials. Jenkins reportedly told Douglas County District Judge Peter Bataillon that he carved the 666 — known in the biblical book of Revelation as the number of the Beast — because he is not receiving treatment for his purported mental illness. He asked the judge to order the Nebraska State Patrol to investigate. Bataillon declined. It is not clear yet whether Jenkins will use the latest self-mutilation to try to get himself again declared incompetent before he can face a death-penalty hearing. Jenkins mutilated himself last year, and Bataillon delayed his death-penalty hearing. It took a year before the judge declared him competent to stand trial. Jenkins’ disclosure of a Manson-style mark — the California killer has a swastika between his eyes — was just the latest antic in a case that has dragged on for 20 months. Somehow we feel like living out your days in maximum security prison with a heavily mutilated face isn’t MUCH better than going ahead and facing the death penalty… Douglas County / James R. Burnett via The World Herald

Biking While Black? Are Tampa, Florida Cops Using Bicycle Tickets To Harass African-Americans?

Tampa Florida Cops Use Bicycle Tickets As Means To Harass African-Americans Shady police practices? In Florida?? Say it ain’t so…SMH Via TampaBay If the tickets are any indication, Tampa residents must be the lousiest bicyclists in Florida. They don’t use lights at night. Don’t ride close enough to the curb. Can’t manage to keep their hands on the handlebars. In the past three years, Tampa police have written 2,504 bike tickets — more than Jacksonville, Miami, St. Petersburg and Orlando combined. Police say they are gung ho about bike safety and focused on stopping a plague of bike thefts. But here’s something they don’t mention about the people they ticket: Eight out of 10 are black. A Tampa Bay Times investigation has found that Tampa police are targeting poor, black neighborhoods with obscure subsections of a Florida statute that outlaws things most people have tried on a bike, like riding with no light or carrying a friend on the handlebars. Officers use these minor violations as an excuse to stop, question and search almost anyone on wheels. The department doesn’t just condone these stops, it encourages them, pushing officers who patrol high-crime neighborhoods to do as many as possible. It’s policies like these that exist in police departments all across America that have lead to the loss of the public’s trust of law enforcement officials.

SMH: Florida Man Impersonates Cop But Accidentally Pulls Over Real Police Officer

Florida Man Impersonated Cop But Pulls Over Police Officer A Florida man is charged with falsely impersonating an officer and unlawfully using police insignia after he allegedly tried to pull over a pair of detectives. Via NBC 2 reports: John Arthur Benedict, 69, was arrested on Saturday. He had been driving a white, Ford Crown Victoria with strobe lights, a spot light and “police interceptor” markings that were “consistent with an official unmarked law enforcement patrol vehicle,” according to a Lee County Sheriff’s Office incident report. The report says that the undercover detectives – one of which who was off-duty – were in an unmarked Lee County Sheriff’s Office SUV on Palm Beach Boulevard in Fort Myers when they saw a Crown Victoria behind them. They thought it was law enforcement, according to the report, which says the Crown Victoria followed them closely and then activated lights. “[The detective] who was driving pulled into the right hand lane to stop for the law enforcement officer,” the report notes. But as the detective pulled over he noticed the vehicle was actually not law enforcement and it continued to drive east into a supermarket parking lot. The detective followed the vehicle into the parking lot and made contact with Benedict – asking him if he was law enforcement, according to the redacted report that doesn’t show exactly how Benedict may have responded to them. We spoke briefly on Monday with Benedict by phone. He said he has never done this before and described the incident as a “senior moment.” The detectives detained Benedict until other law enforcement arrived. Benedict told authorities that he bought the “police interceptor” logo and installed it because he thought the vehicle was police edition, according to the report. His son and ex-wife arrived on the scene and authorities say they were told by the ex-wife that Benedict had been arrested in another state before for impersonating an officer, according to the arrest report. SMH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SMH: Desert-Thirsty Goon Beats Woman For Denying Him Sex After Buying Her McDonald’s

Man Attacks Woman For Refusing To Have Sex With Him After He Bought Her McDonald’s via Palm Beach Post A West Palm Beach man is being held in the Palm Beach County Jail after he allegedly beat a woman who refused to have sex with him after he bought her breakfast at McDonald’s. Justin Jarrard Oliver is facing charges of felony battery and false imprisonment. Oliver, 26, is being held in lieu of $75,000 bail. The woman told West Palm Beach police that she and her boyfriend picked up Oliver in her car Wednesday morning then drove to the McDonald’s on 45th Street west of Australian Avenue. The trio placed their order and Oliver paid the tab, according to an arrest report. Oliver then “demanded sex from (the victim) due to him buying her McDonald’s food,” the report said. As the woman was driving, Oliver allegedly “grabbed her by the arm/hand and attempted to pull her into the rear seat for sex,” according to the report. The woman screamed and held on to the steering wheel before bringing the car to an abrupt stop on 35th Street near Broadway. Once the vehicle stopped, Oliver jumped out and tried to pull the victim out of the car while again demanding sex, the report said. Oliver allegedly punched the woman with his fist, causing “severe injuries” that included a 1 1/2-inch laceration above her left eye and numerous other cuts and abrasions, the report said. The woman’s boyfriend jumped on Oliver’s back, allowing the woman to move the car a short distance away. The boyfriend then got back in the car and the woman drove to St. Mary’s Medical Center. The hospital staff alerted police. Police found Oliver near the location of the assault. He refused to answer questions from police, citing his right not to incriminate himself, the report said.
