I agree with the other attorney who posted on this question. Remember, prosecutors can use any public information they find against you.

If you need a criminal attorney to discuss your rights, contact me and I can refer you to an attorney in my Tallahassee attorney network:

You need to speak with an attorney directly as soon as possible. Generally, the state must prove that you were a knowing participant. You should not discuss the facts through a public post on the internet, but rather you should discuss in a confidential consultation with an attorney.

This is a no brainer, regardless of whether you are innocent or not, if law enforcement is targeting you, hire an attorney now.
