The State of Florida told its own Supreme Court that one of its sentencing laws is unconstitutional. That law is what keeps some people in prison for life.

No court has ruled on it. Not because anybody disagreed, but because every person who raised it so far filed the wrong kind of paperwork, and a court will not reach a question that arrives the wrong way.

That is the new episode of Reasonably Safir, a week of Florida appellate decisions told case by case. The theme of the week: nobody lost on the merits.

Four criminal and two injury-side decisions where nobody lost on the merits, plus a deep dive on the footnote where the State conceded the PRR statute is unconstitutional, and the one procedural door still open for raising it.

A Florida man spent months telling ChatGPT what he wanted to do to his ex. He never sent her a word of it. The company read the chats and called the FBI.

An AI chat feels like a diary, and legally it is the opposite. Watch how a private chat window becomes evidence.

I said this on the news in March: if you wouldn't shout it in public, be careful what you type in there.

Comment "DIARY" and I'll send you the full breakdown.

A police officer allegedly ran his estranged wife's plate through a police camera system 717 times. Her car was not in any investigation.

The system's own log is the whole case against him, and that same log sits behind every plate search in every case. Watch what it remembers.

Comment "LOG" and I'll send you the full write-up.

A student was searched at her high school over a v**e device. She grabbed it back, a school resource officer arrested her, and she kept arguing the whole twenty second walk to the office. The court called that two separate crimes and convicted her of both.

An appeals court just erased the second one. One continuous encounter is one act, and punishing it twice is double jeopardy, even though nobody raised the issue at the hearing.

That story opens the new episode of Reasonably Safir, a week of Florida appellate decisions told case by case. The theme of the week: counting. How many crimes is one afternoon.

All criminal again this week: one act the State counted as two, a juvenile review clock set ten years late, and a deep dive on how Florida decides when one crime becomes several.

Florida arrested a clerk of court. His office keeps every court record in Palm Beach County.

Five felonies, and the charge list says more than the headlines do. Swipe for what each charge actually means, and for the phrase everyone misreads.

He is presumed innocent, and from me that is never a throwaway line. Follow for Florida criminal law in plain English.

"I smell ma*****na" is one of the fastest ways a traffic stop turns into a car search.

Legalization scrambled the rule, so the answer now depends on which state you are standing in. Swipe for what changed, and for the one thing that holds everywhere.

Police learn the roadside eye test (HGN) in about three days. There is a written exam at the end, twenty five questions, and a hands-on demonstration where an instructor watches you hold a pen and count what you see.

Nothing in that exam asks whether the officer can tell alcohol from the other reasons an eye jerks. Nothing measures whether the officer is right.

I sat through the course. Twice. The new episode of Reasonably Safir walks the three days from inside the room, using only the manuals the government publishes and my own experiences.

What is actually inside the course that qualifies officers to give this test. I sat through it twice.
