At first I thought this must of been in a foreign country. But it happened in Florida.

That's f'd up.

Sounds like bull to me. If the facts are as presented, the charges can't stick.

I'd like to hear the school's and the officer's side of the story. As BR said, the facts as presented don't add up and the charges can't stick.

its florida do i need to say anymore?

How do you trespass on public property?

Not sure, but I think there are ?laws? about who can come into a school during school hours.

Here's an alledged account of the incident from one of the guys who were arrested. From this perspective it is hard to tell what caused the police to be called in, but the cop comes across as being a total jacka**. If nothing else, it sounds like this guy was on some kind of power trip.

Here's the arrest documents. I removed their addresses. Both charged with trespassing. So maybe they were on school grounds and they didn't know it? I've heard that new laws about child safety are a bit odd.

At any rate, I can understand being leery about adults hanging around schools for any reason if only because you don't want sexual predators using evangelizing as a cover. That said, sounds like these guys were treated unfairly. I'd really like to hear what happened on the other side, still.
