WARREN SAPP GETS HIS RIGHTS VIOLATED AGAIN TAMPA FLORIDA #warrensapp #knowyourrights

1. THE ILLEGAL GATEKEEPING & THE SUNSHINE LAW: I am Chuck Bronson. Alongside NFL legend Warren Sapp and @EyesOnTheState, we entered the Tampa PD City Center for a lawful public records request under Florida Statute 119. The obstruction began at the front desk when the receptionist and an Allied Universal security officer illegally demanded I provide a photo ID and "sign in" just to request public documents. ​THE LAW IS CLEAR: Under the Florida Sunshine Law, you have an absolute right to remain anonymous. An agency CANNOT require ID, a name, or a reason as a condition of access. Furthermore, Chapter 119 dictates that EVERY public employee—not just a specialized clerk—has a legal duty to acknowledge and facilitate a records request. By refusing to even talk to us without an ID, they were in open violation of state law from the first second. ​2. THE CALL FOR BACKUP: When we stood our ground on these basic rights, the Allied Security officer got on the phone with the police. "There's people in here recording, I need the cops." This is the "Point of No Return"—they didn't call because of "loitering"; they called to weaponize law enforcement against a citizen for exercising their First Amendment rights. ​3. THE UNDERCOVER’S ADMISSION: Once Tampa PD arrived, an undercover officer explicitly stated to us on camera that recording in the public lobby was allowed. We had the "green light" from a sworn officer, yet the primary aggressor, Officer Gerald Lovett, ignored his own colleague's admission and escalated the situation into a crisis. ​4. THE BATHROOM INCIDENT & MEDICAL EMERGENCY: In a disgusting act of "Unbecoming Conduct," Officer Lovett was caught on camera pounding on and shaking a women's restroom door while a female member of our party was inside. This aggressive harassment triggered a severe hypertensive crisis, with her blood pressure skyrocketing to a life-threatening 200/150. While an ambulance was rushed to the scene, TPD ignored the emergency they created and instead focused on issuing an illegal 365-day trespass warning—all without even having a positive ID. ​5. THE SMOKING GUN: FALSIFIED OFFICIAL RECORDS: We obtained the sworn narrative text filed by Officer Gerald Lovett. In his official case summary, Lovett claims he responded to a call regarding "subjects loitering." THIS IS A PROVABLE LIE. The E911 dispatch audio proves the call was about "recording." Lovett knowingly falsified a sworn report to manufacture a "loitering" charge to justify an illegal detention and trespass. Under Florida Statute 837.06, this is a criminal act of making false official statements. ​6. THE ADMISSION AT DISTRICT 2: After being stonewalled at Headquarters with lies that "Internal Affairs was out," we took the fight to District 2. We confronted a Captain, a Lieutenant, and a Sergeant. After being backed into a corner by the law and our footage, the Tampa PD Captain was forced to admit on camera that recording in a public lobby is NOT a crime and that the trespass was completely improper and unlawful. ​FEDERAL LAWSUIT: 42 U.S.C. § 1983 ​Because these officers acted "under color of law" to deprive us of our constitutional rights, we are moving forward with a Federal Civil Rights Lawsuit. Unlike state torts, a 1983 claim does not require a waiting period or a "Notice of Claim" to be filed first. We are suing for: ​First Amendment Retaliation: For using police power to punish us for recording and requesting records. ​Fourth Amendment Violation: For the illegal detention and trespass without probable cause or reasonable suspicion of a crime. ​Loss of Qualified Immunity: Because Officer Lovett falsified a sworn report, he has lost the protection usually granted to officers and is personally liable for the damages he caused.
