Summary

The Pasco County Sheriff's Office used a point-based rubric drawing on school grades, absences, minor infractions and victimisation records to label young people as likely future offenders. Deputies made more than 12,500 preemptive visits from 2015, which led to unrelated fines and arrests of family members. After 2020 journalism, a federal lawsuit ended in a 2024 settlement in which the Sheriff admitted constitutional violations.
