She might not be breaking Health Food Laws. She should get some legal advice on this. There are places that will give pro bono advice to others.
Florida has the "Sunshine Law". Whomever was making those complaints to the city that caused them to write a C&D letter... those complaints are public information. Emails or phone notes or letters.
Your friend can request to the City of Clearwater to send her a copy of all of the complaints they received about the feeding of homeless in Coachman Park.
Please recommend strongly that she get this information.
In fact, anyone can request that information. Hint hint hint!!!
I guess at 9:00 a.m., I will be hunting some public records. And it will be my pleasure to do so. *slow burn*
This couple is elderly. They may not want to invite drama into there lives. HOWEVER, I will sign a notarized statement that I have in fact not only helped her deliver food, but that I have helped her search for the missing homeless.
I have been both namefag'd & facefag'd. And guess what? The Sun still rises, I haven't gotten so much as a C&D letter, and the Cult cannot prove I have done a thing to them.
I have the time, I have the motives, and being a German/Scot (American born) means I can be pretty damn tenacious when motivated.
My crimes?
Caring about ppl.
Assisting ppl whenever I can.
And loathing a Cult to the point of wanting it to be a brief paragraph in a History book before my eldest Grandchild is out of grade school.
Oh, and OSA? (.....if your lurking?) guess what?
I tell all my friends, and ppl who care, what I do. And guess what? They are telling all of their friends too.
My final crimes?
I tell the friends that I care about who are in same-sex relationships what Elron says about homosexuals. And provide dox.
I tell my handicapped & disabled friends what Elron said about them. And provide Dox.
I tell STRANGERS what you do, and provide Dox.
Myadvice? Get out now, go to the Feds & tell what you know. NOW. While you can still cop a plea deal.
Or, stay on a sinking ship.
