Is It Illegal to Take a Picture Off of the Internet? We Don’t Think So, and Congressional Candidate Ozzie deFaria Isn’t Under Criminal Investigation for It

The Shark Tank digs a bigger hole in its latest accusations against Ozzie deFaria which can be disproven with a simple internet search.

It seems our biased blogger award winner Javier Manjarres will stop at nothing to smear candidates that don’t pay him for advertising.  He’s really “jumped the shark” with his latest attack on Congressional candidate Ozzie deFaria who is competing against Manjarres’ endorsed candidate, Ms. Karen Harrington.

In the latest made-up controversy, Manjarres claims deFaria “is now the focus of a criminal investigation as a result of apparently receiving illegally  information that is only available to current law enforcement officials.”  Manjarres repeatedly claims that anyone who opposes anything he does is the subject of some amorphous “criminal investigation.”  You’ll see it in Shark Tank articles over and over.

In this case, Manjarres goes on to say that deFaria “… illegally obtained my Florida driver’s license information and photo and then claimed that it was a ‘mugshot’ of me. Right underneath the picture, deFaria typed my name and the date of a domestic violence issue I had in 2008 in a pathetic attempt to make my license picture look like is was actually a mug shot taken after an arrest.  … For the record, back in 2008, my ex-girlfriend and I both filed counter restraining orders on each other for a telephone and email dispute we had. She embellished her story, I embellished mine. ”

We’re sure Manjarres is right about his “embellishing” stories…but we digress and continue…

Manjarres goes on to say his background check shows him “as clean as a whistle.”  Well, let’s interject right there that this is impossible (unless background checks don’t go back too far), since Manjarres does have a Buglary with Assault Guilty Plea from 1995.

Manjarres finally says that no less than three agencies: the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Broward Sheriff’s detectives, and Fort Lauderdale police have “confirmed that my 2010 Driver’s License picture was illegally accessed and used in deFaria’s attack website.”

We find this braggadocio amusing.

Simply do an internet search for “Javier Manjarres” on Bing.com and you’ll find the following:

 

You’ll notice a website www.prlog.org listed as where the picture first made its appearance.  When you hover over it the picture enlarges.  When you click the picture you will see a source page that has since been removed.  The picture has apparently been on the internet for some time, but of course Manjarres surmises that deFaria went through all measure of leaps and bounds to get it illegally.  Who knows how it got there, but it’s clearly been there before the deFaria campaign used it in its website.  The simplest answer is usually the correct one: it was taken off the internet by the deFaria campaign and there was no grand conspiracy.

Case closed.  We just saved all these police agencies a lot of money.  And if they were really looking into this for Manjarres (which we seriously doubt), then Manjarres is guilty of wasting not one but three agencies’ time just to further attack his candidate’s opponent.

  1. Thanks for giving us this information. It helps clear the air


  2. Narcissistic Personality Disorder!!! deFaria is saying that he is “better equipped” to deal with the economy than members of Congress, which would include Senator Marco Rubio, Representatives Allen West, Tom Rooney, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Mario Diaz Balart, and David Rivera, not to mention the number of conservative Republicans that hold office in their respective municipalities.

    There is no one better equipped to deal with that issue on this stage, or on any other congressional stage in South Florida, than me.-Ozzie deFaria. This man ahhh a homophobic, misogynist with no clue.

    • Harrington is dirty

      Harrington i splaying dirty by not only dragging Ozzie’s family into this campaign but also having her campaign staff file police reports against Ozzie.


  3. Oh man…. You people really want to keep Debbie in office don’t you.
    To post a drivers license picture and make it see like a mug shot shows
    no congressional character at all. Please anyone who listens to that snake oil salesman for over a few min should be able to tell…. I would choose not to vote if that man was the only choice. Better to have DWS.


  4. Javier is so pathetic. He needs to be expelled from the Republican party for his antics and causing strife among brothers. I would not put it past him that he himself created the mugshot picture just to claim it was the Ozzie camp. That is more like it.


  5. To defeat Debbie Wasserman Schultz we need the most electable candidate and that candidate is Juan Eliel Garcia.

    Vote Juan Eliel Garcia for Congress District 23!

    A Broward Community College dropout, it’s apparent Harrington has never had an ethics course. What’s JM excuse???

  8. One can only laugh at Karen Harrington as it appears she thinks Manjarres is helping her. WOW, and she wants to go to Congress and take this rabble with her! What more is Harrington getting out of her Javier Manjarres endorsement? In Javier’s haste to kill off her competitors all he has done is make her look more and more foolish. Sadly, Harrington is already widely appreciated for her limited intellectual capacity. Her long standing campaign with Manjarres and his pack of flea bitten followers in her support group makes her look … well…. (charitably said), stupid.

    This recent out right stack of lies about Ozzie which Manjarres has spewed out for the benefit of Harrington is positively desperate. Karen having polled under 10% in a recent CD23 poll should provide the 240 volt electric jolt jump start in her reasoning where she recognizes that her campaign at the hands of Manjarres and his dogs isn’t working.

    Karen when are you going to publicly demand a retraction from your “Javie”?

    Harrington simply paints herself deeper in to that proverbial corner. Karen when are you going to dump this clod of dirt?
