I live in florida. Title XI Chapter 163 covers solar devices. It states "renewable energy devices" in the chapter and how an HOA cannot restrict their use. I have solar security cameras. They are a renewable energy device and I want to know if they are covered by this Florida law.
answered on Sep 21, 2022
More facts are needed. Does the HOA have a restriction against security cameras in its Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions? If it does not then they cannot restrict your solar powered devices. I have yet to see Declarations that prohibit security cameras. The HOA may try to... Read more »

Your question is too vague. I suggest you re-post with short description of what caused a newborn to be taken. And by "defac", do you mean DCF (Dept. of Children and Families)? And by "notifying you parents", do you mean notifying the parents of the child being taken away?

So, are you asking us or telling us? If you want case law to back up your statement, you probably will need to research it yourself.
There was evidence that existed of an audio confession but no other evidence existed to support crime was committed.

In short, it doesn't. Assuming that the defendant didn't have an attorney, if the defendant failed to raise the objection it has been waived. The judge may have thought that there was sufficient evidence that a crime had been committed.
