Who thinks he's above the law.
Florida Bulldog, 8/25/2024
Yet it’s unlikely the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office will investigate Trump for the offense or that Palm Beach state prosecutors will charge him with the misdemeanor of failing to register his felony conviction. Nor will election officials in Tallahassee explain how a convicted felon managed to vote, unchallenged, in the Aug. 20 primary the way Trump did in early voting on Aug. 14.
Florida Statute 775.13 gives “any person who has been convicted of a crime in any federal court or in any court of a state other than Florida” 48 hours to register. Trump was supposed to report his May 30 New York conviction on 34 counts of fraud within two days of returning to his Palm Beach home. Intended for monitoring felons, the registration law says the offender must be fingerprinted and photographed. Violation is a second-degree misdemeanor punishable by up to 60 days in jail and a potential fine of up to $10,000 per conviction.
Trump did not register, Teri Barbera confirmed to Florida Bulldog. She’s the longtime public information officer for the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.
