Rolling Red-Light Camera Scourge Shames Miami-Dade - Broward Palm ...

23, Fla.Const., can not be abridged, whether it is the State of Florida or any part of itself trying to illegitimately invade this inviolate, indefeasible right -- which is ���Every natural person has the right to be let alone and free from governmental intrusion into the person���s private life except as otherwise provided herein.��� This fundamental, sacrosanct right can not be impiously disarranged from those other essential rights necessary to a person���s freedom and liberty, through some untoward form of delegation or unilateral transference to an agent or contract servant by-way-of a masterful State. Therefore, no branch of government has license to become the possessor of an individual���s right to privacy, unless that right has been knowingly and intelligently waived beforehand Furthermore, any claim by any member of the Florida Legislature, the Florida judiciary, or the Governor���s Executive Branch, to have interpreted this particular section in the Declaration of Rights of Florida���s Constitution to mean that the State has the right to videotape, film, or memorialize in any way the comings and goings of the citizens as they go about their everyday business or pleasure, more specifically to generate a (new stream of) revenue if the citizen should be photographed performing a civil (non-criminal, traffic) infraction, is a false claim. In the previous diversion, the citizens supposedly won their cause, by the acceptance of a court ordered burden of a newly designed municipal tax, that would no longer be considered an ad-valorem tax, instead being redefined as a non ad-valorem tax. Somewhat packaged as a special favor, the non-ad-valorem taxes together with the ad-valorem taxes, have been combined by the tax appraiser, so that payment can be made in one lump sum -- although the lump sum payment is not tallied as an ad-valorem payment of taxes because the amount could possibly put that portion dealing with the municipal tax bill over the ten mill limit set by the Constitution, at art. Since the officials and their agents of the State were unsuccessful in the alteration of the Constitution which would have been a detriment to the People, we will never know for a certainty if the status of the real property would have changed, because of the way that the private property would have been taxed like personal property, and we will not know how entry onto the property could have been affected in a different fashion than that protected under certain inalienable rights. What we do know is that the change that had been effected with the new category of non-ad-valorem tax on the ad-valorem tax bill and the alteration of the tax bill from charging according to the millage as opposed to a percentage was because of the probability of more money streaming in to the treasury, that somehow does not� seem to fund the same amount of public works projects.
