Contact 5 Investigators uncover government workers abusing Florida’s online DAVID system – wptv.com
“Facebook for cops, that’s how I’d describe it,” said former Martin County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Salvatore Rastrelli.

I met Salvatore Rastrelli, and through him – months ago – learned of multiple DAVID abuses, as some of my previous blog posts reflect.
While I’m grateful that WPTV5 covered the story, I know that Sal and the Archangels of Justice team is the investigative force, not their reporters.
I hope that readers will take the time to watch the video from the link above, and note from the text below the video they can make an emailed request to find out if any public servants have abused DAVID to target them.
The email address to submit the request to (according to WPTV5) is DAVIDPulicRequest@flhsmv.gov … you’ll need to provide your name and drivers license number or tag number.
The more people who make requests, the likelier it is that serious attention will be paid not only to the DAVID snooping scandal, but the similar Stingray snooping scandal, and other public misconduct.
Please share this post and get the word out. Thank you.
UPDATE 4/24/14 Please note – per the email trail below – that emailed DAVID record requests are to be made of Maureen Johnson of the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles’ Maureen Johnson at maureenjohnson@flhsmv.gov …

To whom it may concern,
I would like copies of anyone and everyone accessing DAVID to check up on me from January of 2001 onward (or DAVID’s implementation, if it was later than January of 2001).
I understand, from WPTV5 news coverage, that I may be billed up to $20, depending on the time involved.
Thank you.
Susan Chandler
