      We only hear about the Florida shenaningans because of a criminal transparency law unique to Florida.

      The entire country is a freak show.

        That Sunshine law just states public meeting records must be publicly available not that every criminal case needs to be made public (as an example just look at any one of the thousands of cases involving police brutality where details aren’t released). This is just a myth that got repeated over and over on reddit for years to the point that everyone believes it.

        This type of shit is explicitly unique to Florida.
