City plans to bill pastor for security around planned Quran burning
 

Orlando, Florida (CNN) -- The city of Gainesville, Florida, plans to send a bill estimated at more than $180,000 to Pastor Terry Jones for security costs surrounding his controversial threat to burn Qurans on the anniversary of the September, 11, 2001, attacks, a police spokeswoman said Friday.

Police agencies spent more than a month working on security plans to ensure the community surrounding Jones' Dove World Outreach Center -- the planned site of the burning -- was safe, according to Gainesville police spokeswoman Cpl. Tscharna Senn.

Jones also told authorities he received numerous death threats because of the planned protest, which he called off amid increasing pressure from world leaders.

It's more fun to call them an arse. :haha:

Sending a bill for security? That's BS.

May as well bill him. Same happens to people who start a wildfire whether they intended to or not.

A wildfire is not a 1st Amendment exercise.

The precedent is that if anyone says anything that anyone disagrees with, then they need to be billed for security charges.

Or is it only with groups like Muslims who are legitimate security threats merely by membership in a religion? Anyone accepting this "bill" accepts that Muslims are de facto, legitimate security threats—offend any muslim, and murder might happen. Do you agree with that?

It's been proven time and again that someone will die if the raging hordes see or hear anything that offends their superior dignity. Hear about that gal that went into hiding because they got upset over her "Draw Mohammed" page? Meanwhile it is perfectly okay in their book to hijack airplanes and blow up marketplaces full of mothers and children. We cannot confront them and point out how stupidly they are behaving... for what good might come of it. (Kinda frustrating, actually) :-?

Anyway, back to the original point: better for Jones to pay for his security than to dump the mess into our laps. Aren't LE agencies underfunded as it is? :rotfl2:

I would be interested in reading the legal precedence for charging for security.

If the county chose to spend 180K on security, how can an individual be financially responsible?

The individual did not make, nor did they have the authority to make, the decision to spend 180K. Officials of the county made, and had the authority to make the decision to spend 180K.

Even if the individual asked for "security" from the county, charging them for it would require either an agreement allowing the charging or a regulation requiring the charging. I am not aware of either occurring.

This is an interesting legal question that has ramifications.

From a practical stand point it is moot as this church is bankrupt and in default of other obligations. I doubt this church can scrape up $1,800 no less 180K?

A city with a leadership of one party—say Washington DC—might charge outrageous security fees for political rallies that are counter to their political POV.

Really bad idea.

Everything has its price, which IMO he and his supporters should have thought of that before this started that this has implications not only in FL, but in many other ways, even if he is an idiot, you can probably think of a person "also
