2. What individuals are authorized to inspect and receive copies of public records?

Section 119.01, F.S., provides that [i]t is the policy of this state that all state, county, and municipal records are open for personal inspection and copying by any person. (e.s.) A state citizenship requirement was deleted from the law in 1975. A public employee is a person within the meaning of Ch. 119, F.S. and, as such, possesses the same right of inspection as any other person. AGO 75-175. Likewise, a county is any person who is allowed to seek public records under Ch. 119, F.S. Hillsborough County, Florida v. Buccaneers Stadium Limited Partnership, No. 99-0321 (Fla. 13th Cir. Ct. February 5, 1999), affirmed per curiam, 758 So. 2d 676 (Fla. 2d DCA 2000).

Thus, the law provides any member of the public access to public records, whether he or she be the most outstanding civic citizen or the most heinous criminal. Church of Scientology Flag Service Org., Inc. v. Wood, No. 97-688CI-07 (Fla. 6th Cir. Ct. February 27, 1997). [A]s long as the citizens of this state desire and insist upon open government and liberal public records disclosure, as a cost of that freedom public officials have to put up with demanding citizens even when they are obnoxious as long as they violate no laws. State v. Colby, No. MM96-317A-XX (Fla. Highlands Co. Ct. May 23, 1996). Even though a public agency may believe that a person or group are fanatics, harassers or are extremely annoying, the public records are available to all of the citizens of the State of Florida. Salvadore v. City of Stuart, No. 91-812 CA (Fla. 19th Cir. Ct. December 17, 1991). And see Curry v. State, 811 So. 2d 736, 741 (Fla. 4th DCA 2002) (defendants conduct in making over 40 public records requests concerning victim constituted a legitimate purpose, and thus cannot violate the stalking law because the right to obtain the records is established by statute and acknowledged in the state constitution). Cf. James v. Loxahatchee Groves Water Control District, 820 So. 2d 988 (Fla. 4th DCA 2002), concluding that a trial court erred when it failed to hold a hearing before denying a request to require a district to permit inspection at the district offices, rather than at an off-premises location. The agency argued that it would be disruptive to require that the records inspection be conducted at its offices. Id. However, the appeals court ruled that a hearing should have been held to determine whether the requestor, who was in litigation with the district, should be allowed to view the records at the district offices, and if so, under what conditions. Id.

3. Must an individual show a legitimate interest or noncommercial interest in public records before being allowed to inspect or copy same?

No. The requestor is not required to explain the purpose or reason for a public records request. The motivation of the person seeking the records does not impact the persons right to see them under the Public Records Act. Curry v. State, 811 So. 2d 736, 742 (Fla. 4th DCA 2002). See also Timoney v. City of Miami Civilian Investigative Panel, 917 So. 2d 885, 886n.3 (Fla. 3d DCA 2005) (generally, a persons motive in seeking access to public records is irrelevant); Staton v. McMillan, 597 So. 2d 940, 941 (Fla. 1st DCA 1992), review dismissed sub nom., Staton v. Austin, 605 So. 2d 1266 (Fla. 1992) (petitioners reasons for seeking access to public records are immaterial); Lorei v. Smith, 464 So. 2d 1330, 1332 (Fla. 2d DCA 1985), review denied, 475 So. 2d 695 (Fla. 1985) (legislative objective underlying the creation of Ch. 119 was to insure to the people of Florida the right freely to gain access to governmental records; the purpose of such inquiry is immaterial); and News-Press Publishing Company, Inc. v. Gadd, 388 So. 2d 276, 278 (Fla. 2d DCA 1980) (the newspapers motives [for seeking the documents], as well as the hospitals financial harm and public harm defenses, are irrelevant in an action to compel compliance with the Public Records Act).

Thus, an agency is not authorized to impose conditions or limit access to public records based on a suspicion that the request may be for an improper purpose. Inf. Op. to Cook, May 27, 2011. However, as noted in that opinion, Florida Statutes impose criminal penalties for the unauthorized use of personal identification information for fraudulent or harassment purposes and for the criminal use of a public record or public records information. See ss. 817.568 and 817.569, F.S.P.

Please view:  http://www.collincriminals.com/Black_People_Mugshots ; this site is racial profiling and makes horrible derogatory remarks regarding each mugshot. The mugshot and the removal services that are associated with them need to be shut down.Enclosed is a copy of a website associated with www.mugshots.com. ; and http://www.collincriminals.com/Black_People_Mugshots. ;

This site came to my attention from another site   http://classactionagainstmugshotwebsites.com/wordpress/ and Class Action Against Mug Shot Websites.  The confusing part is that most authors think that these websites are only out of Florida. I have done my research, they are in all 50 states, with no transparent DBAs, or oversite agency. These are private entities,  behind these websites, . No one is sure who www.mugshots.com is 

Do not be confused about the Freedom of Speech and  Freedom of Information VS. the miss use of the freedom of speech and freedom of information with intent to to violate, extort, defame, embarrass; confuse the public with deception and unfair trade practices. (via the internet,  wire and mail fraud)
