Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed a bill that prohibits Florida’s government agencies from releasing photos, video or audio that record the killing of a person in an act of mass violence.
The new law was signed Thursday and takes effect immediately.
The bill was written after last year’s school shooting in Parkland that left 17 people dead. It says the exemption to the public record law is needed to protect victims’ families from trauma and to prevent the images or recordings from inspiring others to kill.
The bill’s sponsor, Sen. Tom Lee of Hillsborough County, has said he is aware that such recordings can help the media keep authorities accountable after a mass shooting but pointed out that news organizations can petition a judge to access the images.

“The bill was written after last year’s school shooting in Parkland that left 17 people dead.”

“It says the exemption to the public record law is needed to protect victims’ families from trauma and to prevent the images or recordings from inspiring others to kill.”
No, it’s to prevent people like Trenchers from EXPOSING THE FAKERY.
As if the POLICE STATE isn’t doing MORE THAN ENOUGH insofar as inspiring others to kill.
That’s something you CAN NEVER STOP, have absolutely NO CONTROL OVER, so passing any lame-@ss ‘laws’ only shows you for the MAJOR RETARDS that you are, and if my middle finger was available to me, you’d be getting that right now as well, scumbags.
You only ban the truth when it doesn’t fit with your lies , stories or false narratives
Posted lies will always be called out ,sheeple no more
The comment section on article source is also refreshing. Wakey, wakey for some of the folks there.
Good to see. Now all they need to do is fill in the blank as to who the usual suspect is. There are no “d”s or “r”s
Only “j”s and “z”s.
