Everything in life is easier said than done and reaping the benefits of what we learn sometimes takes us being put in certain situations, like Mr. Chris Davis who used the access we are all given to public records to reap answers to many questions.
In Davis' presentation to the class, he shared with us the real life everyday benefits and rights we have to know everything that is not seen in the light. After sharing his experiences as an Investigative Reporter for the Sarasota Herald-Tribune with our class, the importance of anything and everything "public" became clear.
He explained to us a story about a case that really had an impact for a lot of people who have, or could have, fallen victim to the illegal scheme of "flipping fraud."
Illegal real estate buying and selling in an effort to increase profits, quickly.
The time and money it took him and his team to recover all public documents is a process any of us could go through if we really are out to uncover the truth for any specific matter.
It was good to learn and really witness the benefits of accessing public records in the making. It's always easy to be told something is possible, but when you hear a story like Davis,' you understand it's not just words we are hearing, its our rights we are learning about.
