Dear Senator_____________:
I am writing to respectfully request your positive vote on SB 298,
an act relating to Installation of Tracking Devices or Tracking
Applications. This bill is scheduled for hearing during the October 20th
Criminal Justice Committee Meeting.
This bill prohibits the use of tracking device by anyone who does
so for deceptive means or in commission of a crime. This in turn
reverses a law that was passed in the last Session that unfairly singled
out private investigators.
As a licensed private investigator in the State of Florida, and a
member of the Florida Association of Licensed Investigators (FALI), the
3rd largest PI association in the country, I am making this request ,
along with other members, many who use this technology extensively to
protect victims of domestic violence, stalking, workplace violence,
child abuse and parental abduction.
I appreciate your consideration of this request. If you have any
questions please feel free to contact me at ________________
Sincerely yours,
