Florida stalking injunctions that restrain freedom of speech

Posted by Nydia Streets of Streets Law in Florida Domestic Violence

While a stalking injunction in Florida can prohibit a person from contacting or going near another person. it has its limits as far as the First Amendment is concerned. When a stalking injunction limits what a person can post about another person, this may infringe on the poster’s right to free speech. This was an issue in the case Budlove v. Johnson, et. al., 2D22-1549 (Fla, 2d DCA December 29, 2023).
