A lawsuit says Florida officials failed to comply with a new law requiring creation of a criminal justice database.

Settlement Gives Broward County Inmates COVID Protections

When businesses began shutting down and residents started sheltering at home at the onset of COVID-19 last year, Todd Watson was running a fever and showing flulike symptoms while being booked into a Broward County jail. Through the intake process, he sat in a room with some 15 people and spent the night in a different unit with about two dozen others.
Social distancing was impossible. Masks weren't made available for those who were incarcerated. On behalf of Watson and other inmates, the American Civil Liberties Union and Disability Rights Florida filed a federal class-action civil-rights lawsuit against Broward County Sheriff Gregory Tony this past June, arguing that jail conditions in his jurisdiction were putting people at risk of severe illness or death.

West Palm gives initial OK to law targeting homeless 'aesthetics'

Police and downtown advocates at the meeting hailed the measure as a way to address problems encountered by residents, tourists and businesses.
"This ordinance is going to be a great tool for us," Deputy Police Chief Rick Morris told the commissioners. "It doesn’t take our compassion away.... It gives us opportunity to enforce laws but more importantly it gives us tools to help people."
Civil libertarians were quick to reject the provisions as unconstitutional attempts to criminalize behavior rather than address causes – and as mean-spirited – especially in a time of pandemic.
"The real motivation here is not to help people but to remove the faces of poverty and homelessness," said Jim Green, a West Palm Beach lawyer and former president of the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida.
