Government Racketeering in Florida

Will Grigg / Liberty Minute:
The housing market collapse has driven many experienced, qualified tradesmen to seek part-time employment. In Florida, the Broward County Sheriff's Office has targeted those skilled but desperate workers for a pernicious "sting" operation. An undercover deputy will pose as a homeowner seeking to hire unlicensed, unemployed tradesmen. After the job is described and a price is negotiated, a team of armed deputies storm into the room with guns drawn. The contractor is thrown face-first to the floor, handcuffed, and otherwise abused -- for the supposed "crime" of offering to perform a needed service at an appropriate price without government permission.
