Your Personal Information Is Not Very Private.

“Archangels of Justice” has learned that hundreds of male deputies of the Martin County Sheriff's Office and other police agencies within the Treasure Coast and throughout Florida illegally use the state DAVID (Drivers and Vehicle Information Databank) System to gain personal information on various women targets including other attractive police officers. They have done this thousands of times.  Even though they must declare that they are performing police/governmental business when they enter the system and their actions violate federal civil and criminal law they intentionally infringe upon the privacy of these women and others. None of the male officers have been terminated or criminally charged at any of the agencies across the state.

The information they illegally obtain consists of personal addresses, photographs and physical descriptions, Social Security and drivers license numbers, automobile loans, emergency contact and family member’s information, insurance companies, past addresses, driving records, vehicles, past marriages, etc.  The State Department of Transportation has recently been working on safeguards that could possibly slow the unauthorized access of driver’s information but they have not been very successful. And intrusions into personal information still continue to date.

Martin County Sheriff William Snyder is well aware that DAVID violations are illegal. On January 8, 2013, upon taking office, he worked to terminate the employment of a well decorated female detective by claiming she had improperly used the DAVID system.  At the same time he promoted Lieutenant Mike Ewing to Captain with a salary increase of many thousands of dollars.  Ewing had been a supporter of candidate Snyder when he ran for Sheriff.  In 2012 he was reprimanded by the former sheriff for illegally entering the DAVID system and obtaining the personal information of a husband and wife who had withdrawn their campaign support from Snyder.  Although it is a federal crime to conduct election business while on taxpayer time and use taxpayer funded data systems to further that conduct, Ewing has never been charged.   Nor, is there any evidence that Sheriff Snyder ever sought any charges against him.

QUESTIONS – Does it seem that Sheriff Snyder has two sets of standards?  One for his friends and supporters and another for people he dislikes?  Did Sheriff Snyder approve or support Ewing’s misuse of the DAVID system?  Does their conduct have a chilling effect on anyone who might consider withdrawing their support from a candidate running for public office?  Why don’t you ask Sheriff Snyder or Captain Ewing?
