Gaetz calls on DeSantis to remove Pasco sheriff for using intelligence program to predict crime
By Curt Anderson
NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. - A federal lawsuit contends that a Tampa Bay area sheriff is violating people’s rights through an intelligence-based policing program that improperly targets and harasses them. The sheriff rejects those claims.
The lawsuit filed Wednesday in Tampa federal court claims the Pasco Sheriff’s Office punishes people for crimes they have not committed and may never commit a practice dubbed predictive policing.
Sheriff Chris Nocco’s office called the description false and said its Intelligence-Led Policing program is guided by a person’s criminal history or a school student’s characterization as being at risk.
