While I was at their Pinellas Park headquarters, the Detective took my copied documents of maybe 103 various things and called me a few days later saying they had mixed feelings about arming citizens with knowledge like that. Much harder to manipulate by lawyers picking jurors if you have very educated people in the pool. Or just curious about the legal system. I kept e-mailing the detective to change his mind about their getting more involved but another detective told me that the first detective was a Criminal Intelligence one-- same as him-- and he was very busy with homicide investigations. The second detective kind of joked with me about my interest in Hollywood as he had a name that is well known in the movies. Not Coppola but some other such name. I gave up on that prospect.

Interestingly my sister-in-law-- I have a lot of these from two brothers with a few divorces between them-- was working at the Tarpon Springs PD for a while around this time before heading back to Northern CA to work for a District Attorney's Office-- or something like that-- in Northern CA.

The last I looked-- a year or a little more ago-- both these two Pinellas County Detectives were still working in Pinellas County as Deputies of some kind.

The Findlaw troll was far more clever, nasty, imaginative, and experienced than any troll I have seen on Talk of the Villages. I had to go to my Palm Harbor Members of the US Congress before it seemed they started doing something about stopping the online criminal harassment on Findlaw. This was across state lines. I had also called the VA Sheriff's Office where this troll lived as soon as I identified him. They laughed and said they were very familiar with the man but could not do anything. Freedom of Speech and all that.
