The Issue

A dramatic change to the core (not political) meaning of the Sheriff’s office is in dire need!  I want to put a stop to the Civil Rights abuses suffered by individuals at the hand of current law enforcement officials.  Additionally, as the highest ranking law officer, even above federal law officers, I will stand up to any and all unconstitutional “laws” created by the Federal government that are in direct contradiction to the Constitution of the united States.  Further, I will require comprehensive training for all Deputies that includes ethics as well as civil liberties!  I will also back legislation for for firearms training and safety courses in the private and public areas, including schools!  EDIT: 09/17/2013 - After spending a little more than a week inside the Broward County jail (minor charges), now more then ever, I want to run for Sheriff so I can make some much needed changes... What disgusting, deplorable conditions, AND the (psychological, etc.) abuse I witnessed and was subject to is unbelievable. Please sign the petition to get me on the ballot.

Mike SophinPetition StarterI grew up in South Florida, and gained the experience of over 40 years to enjoy and learn the many exciting opportunities for both business and pleasure this County has to offer. Unfortunately, to also be personally subject to it's unfair, and 'corrupt legal system, starting with Law Enforcement. Time for this to change is LONG overdue! A dramatic change to the core, not political, meaning of the Sheriff’s office is in dire need! I want to put a stop to, or at least greatly curtail, the Civil Rights abuses suffered by individuals at the hand of current Law Enforcement Officials. Additionally, the elected Office of Sheriff was created more than a century before the official founding of the United States, and is still the highest ranking law officer, even above Federal Law Officers. This means, as Sheriff, I can and WILL stand up to any and ALL unconstitutional “laws” created by the Federal government that are in direct contradiction to the Constitution of the united States.
