Aren’t there special laws for whistle blowers? You many not have been told the truth?
Frauds Exposed Under Whistleblower Law
A general rule of thumb is that any fraud that impacts federal or state monies or is a violation of any federal/ state regulation can be exposed under whistleblower law. Whistleblower attorneys represent their clients, as well as the government in such actions. Federal False Claims Act covers actions that aim at recovering defrauded federal dollars, while state statutes enable recovery of state / municipal funds that have been misappropriated.
Whistle blower laws are employment laws. The Florida law on recording people without their knowledge is not an employment law. Essentially, it is to protect organizations like Planned Parenthood from real journalists.
