    Florida Sheriff's Office Checking for Warrants at Hurricane Shelters

    This is presented as a topic because I cannot decide which side of the debate I would fall. I know others will have very strong feelings one way or another.

    Hurricane Irma: Florida sheriff threatens to arrest fugitives at shelters - Orlando Sentinel



    Weather (pun intended) you agree or not this is an opportunistic strategy. Essentially Florida is giving fugitives the choice, turn themselves in or try to survive the storm on their own. Some may claim this is cruel and unusual punishment and others may say this will be a form of racism (some shelters will have more security than others). Another argument might center on chasing criminals to the neighboring states. Regardless, I doubt we will see protesters lining the streets demonstrating their displeasure of this strategy during the hurricane.

    Now that you have decided which side of the fence you are on, should this strategy be used to arrest illegal immigrants, fathers owing alimony or child support, individuals owing parking tickets, and the list could go on forever. Regardless another national tragedy will become a political battleground before it is over.
    Give back more to this world than we take.
