Rebecca Jones alleges that Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) officials violated her First Amendment right, deprived her of due process, and illegally confiscated her computer, cell phone, and storage media during a December 7 search of her home. Was, according to the lawsuit, Sunday.
The claim was also discovered that an anonymous FDLE agent caught Jones’ midsection “without consent, authorization or legal basis” during the search.
John, who was fired from the Florida Department of Health in May, was frequently criticized by the government for managing Ron Descentis over the coronavirus crisis.
Jones claims that the basis of the search warrant was “an evening to punish her” for “protected speech.”
The lawsuit alleges that IP addresses are generally “corrupted” and refers to news articles in which the username and password for the message-provoking message system were publicly available on the health department’s website.
Under Florida law, “it would not be an offense for a reasonable official to access the site,” the lawsuit claims.
“The FDLA, trying to provoke itself in Descentis, tried to silence Whiter’s speech online speech by seizing his computer and seizing his cellphone to find out his secret sources and other information,” the lawsuit states.
Jones has asked the court to return his property and make the award damaging order.
FDDL Commissioner Rick Swaringen, named as a defendant in the lawsuit, said FDLL agents acted appropriately when executing a search warrant.
“I am proud of the professionalism shown by our FDLE agents, as they issued a legal search warrant at Rebecca Jones’ residence. Our criminal investigation is ongoing, and while I have not made this claim, I believe these facts will come out in court.” SoringJen said in a statement on Monday.
State officials said in May that Jones was fired because she “showed a course of repeated allegations” and made changes to the state data portal without input or approval from pathologists or her supervisors. Jones argues she was fired for refusing to falsify state coronavirus data.
