    =====================

    I am still waiting on my developer to finish up on the Classifieds Control Panel so I can use it to encourage members into becoming paying members. Google Adsense has become a real burden on the viewing of this site, but honestly it is the ONLY source of income now that keeps it afloat. I tried offering disabling the ads being viewed by paying members, but apparently that is not enough incentive. Quite frankly, Google Adsense has dropped down to where it barely brings in enough daily to match even a single paid member per day. But it still gets the bills paid. But at what cost?

    So even without the classifieds control panel being complete, I believe I am going to have to disable those Google ads completely and likely disable some options here that have been free since going to the new platform. Like classified ad bumping, member name changes, and anything else I can use to encourage this site to be supported by the members instead of the Google Adsense ads.

    But there is risk involved. I will not pay out of pocket for very long during this last ditch experimental effort. If I find that the membership does not want to support this site with memberships, then I cannot support your being able to post your classified ads here for free. No, I am not intending to start charging for your posting ads here. I will just shut the site down and that will be it. I will be done with FaunaClassifieds. I certainly don't need this, and can live the rest of my life just fine without it. If I see that no one else really wants it to survive neither, then so be it. It goes away and you all can just go elsewhere to advertise your animals and merchandise.

    Not sure when this will take place, and I don't intend to give any further warning concerning the disabling of the Google Adsense. Just as there probably won't be any warning if I decide to close down this site. You will just come here and there will be some sort of message that the site is gone, and you have a nice day.

    I have been trying to make a go of this site for a very long time. And quite frankly, I am just tired of trying. I had hoped that enough people would be willing to help me help you all have a free outlet to offer your stuff for sale. But every year I see less and less people coming to this site, much less supporting it financially. That is fine. I tried. I retired the SerpenCo business about 14 years ago, so retiring out of this business completely is not that big if a step for me, nor will it be especially painful to do. When I was in Thailand, I did not check in here for three weeks. I didn't miss it even a little bit. So if you all want it to remain, it will be in your hands. I really don't care either way.

    =====================
    Some people have indicated that finding the method to contribute is rather difficult. And I have to admit, that it is not all that obvious. So to help, here is a thread to help as a quide. How to become a contributing member of FaunaClassifieds.

    And for the record, I will be shutting down the Google Adsense ads on January 1, 2025.

Feel free to post your DL...I have a U.S. Driver License guide from Miller Brewery that will tell me if it is a fake/altered license.

So go ahead post it...if you're innocent then you will have nothing to hide!!

Also... what is the agreement you have with Sgt. James???

Your all detectives so you can give him a call. Anything I say is deemed a lie so I'll only be posting evidence that can not be argued with.
 
She won't get prison time for a 3rd degree felony check, unless she has a LARGE number of misdemeanor convictions or a few felony convictions within the preceding 5 years. She'll get probation, if I had to guess, 2-3 years. The charge carries up to 5 in state prison. Part of her probation will be restitution on the check to you.

There will be a restitution hearing. The worthless check is proof of the initial damages. You are also entitled to a returned check fee, authorized by statute. You are also entitled to any and all other costs associated with this. Did any of your checks bounce as a result of her worthless check to you, for example. Get all that type of stuff ready.

There are no "deals" with a felony check. On misdemeanor checks, most counties allow the person to make restitution, pay the SA office a fee, and the warrant will then be rescinded. The misdemeaner will be "nolle prosque" or not processed, no conviction. Most SA's don't want to waste taxpayers time with small check amounts if the writer is willing to make good on the check.

On a felony check, you can turn yourself in or they'll get you in a traffic stop, or one morning early at your house. Counties do warrant sweeps from time to time. Hers is not a
"high priority" type of felony warrant. Yea, I know that doesn't help the person who had it written to them feel any better but that's how it goes.

She'll go to a first appearance within 24 hours. If she has a FTA history as some have stated she will receive a high bond whereas others would be ROR'd or given a very small bond.

If she can't afford the bail and find a writer who is willing to risk her, she is considered a high risk bond, then she'll sit in jail for up to 21 days when arraignment happens.

She can at that time change her plea to guilty and ask to be sentenced.

Part of her probation requirements will be to pay restitution, the amount determined at the hearing I mentioned earlier. She will have to pay monthly fees to the probation office and something towards your restitution. If she violates felony probation it is more than likely she'll be given a small prison time, such as a year and a day perhaps. Or reinstated on probation, OR given house arrest, much more severe than probation.

She violates it a 2nd time and she could very well end up serving every day of that 5 years inside a state prison facility.

Also, no time spent on probation is considered time served towards the 5 years. House arrest is considered "time" for that meaning.

Hope that helps.
 
Candace, what do you think you are being charged with? Your emails won't be evidence of anything. Renee will testify that you wrote her the check and the state will submit the check as evidence, along with documentation that it did not clear. Case closed. Yes, you could deny everything but that won't hold any weight against the given evidence and testimony, and nothing you have in emails or anywhere else will be able to dispute it either.

You seem to think that the state needs to prove the animals you sold were Renee's. They don't because it is a non-issue with what you are being charged with. You may want to consider consulting an attorney now. If you can not afford one, I suggest finding one that will take a check.

She says she has a attorney and they are in the process of sueing Renee. :rofl::rofl:
 
The thing I don't get is why she would even keep posting? Anything she says is only going to make it worse now. If it was me, I'd just shutup and slink away...
 
Joe, in Florida, is worthless checks a progressive charge ...In Ohio yrs ago, it was progressive. In 1996 they changed it and priors did not affect the degree of a new charge. She has prior conviction and well as new charges. I'm sure that will show up on her CCH when the SO/Court checks it.
 
No priors in Florida would escalate the degree of the charge no. However, priors within a 5 to 10 year range can affect your "score". They use a scoresheet to determine a "range" of appropriate punishment.

If her priors are recent enough they will score her higher, meaning low score is probation very high score would be some prison, but the judge has leeway. He can also depart upward or downward from the guidelines if he shows good cause, mitigating, aggravating circumstances for example.

I seriously doubt she'll get prison for this check. But, if she has a history of screwing up, she won't successfully do the probation (obviously) and they are pretty strict on felony probation violations down here now.

And, years ago, they changed the law so that time served on probation doesn't count against the possible prison sanction. So, she could do 2 of a 3 year probation term successfully, violate, and in an extreme case get the whole 5 years and won't get any credit for the 2 she did on probation successfully. An extreme case would be if she committed a new felony, etc.

I like Florida sentencing better than Ohio...BTW would that F-3 worthless check charge probably have a state PUR or would it be larger or smaller??
 
I have told everyone that I don't know Renee and haven't done any business with her.

Okay, so basically, let me see if I get this straight. EVERYONE ELSE on this thread is a liar...except you? Yeah, that just makes so much sense. Just because the truth hurts, doesn't mean it's a lie.

Seriously, what does anyone here have to gain or lose...except you? I can assure you that Bobby Hill and Dennis Hultman are two of the most trustworthy people one could ever know.

I think maybe while you're out looking for your lawyer who'll take a check, you might need to get some mental health services for that little lying problem of yours.


To Renee, honey, keep your chin up. We're here for you. A few of us posting on this thread have also been the prey of such a liar as Candace... :eek:
 
Not saying she is but I have a feeling she might be a drug user, that can screw with someones head.
 
Can a mod tell if she really contributed to fauna? Sure hope she didn't pay with a check.
 
Thank you very much Miss Tere. It's funny... well, not really... when I first saw this BOI, I have to admit, it ripped at my heart. But, I can honestly say that I deeply appreciate the support and help I've seen so far. I just feel bad about this whole mess. On the bright side, I made a new friend or two out of this. Thank you again for the support.
 
Well the formula is basically this:

sentence points minus 28 * 0.75 = maximum in months

Sentence points are determined by the primary offense, plus any secondary offenses. They put the highest degree if you had multiple felonies as the primary as it's scored a little "higher".

Then priors. Then victim injury (impact) for sex offenses, and violent offenses.

It takes a LOT of points. A prior misdemeanor is like 1-2 points. There are three levels of misdemeaners, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. A prior 3rd degree felony is like 4 points for the less serious of the 3rds. Her primary 3rd degree would be maybe 40 points.

So as you can see she needs a bit to hit prison range. I don't see it happening unless she really has a bad record and they're recent.

I do see her failing to complete probation. Plus that 60.00 or so she spends every month for supervision PLUS payments on restitution. She's going to spend over $3,000 on this 800 check or more figuring a 2 year successful probation.
 
Ah, Candice my dear(?) your gonna' love prison...NOT! You may not get prison time for this check, but your repeated lies & denials are classic criminal behavior & the odds are you will repeat it again. How do I know you ask? Because I am a correctional officer at an all male maximum security prison unit, 5 1/2 yrs. now.

And although I have never worked in a female facility, I do have friends & coworkers who have and those women in there play for keeps, at least here in Texas & you better be toughening up if you plan on continuing this type of activity.

My suggestion would be get you some help for your affliction you seem to have with a diversion to the truth. Unless of course, you just love the thought of cell doors slamming behind you all hours of the night & day & lights coming on for up to 8 counts a day!
 
Not saying she is but I have a feeling she might be a drug user, that can screw with someones head.

Reminds me of the movie "The Informant" :)

Or even Casey Anthony. Problem with a web of lies is you can't make up the new ones fast enough to cover the past ones, nor can anyone remember everything they said. Truth is very easy to remember, it's the truth.
 
Candice, where did you go? You started this clearly false thread, don't run off now, just because the lions more in that is not a reason for the jackal to flee.
