Dear Bill,

Thank for your interest to satisfy your customer, specially in legal matters.
I still need some clarification in your answer because it does not specify if the meaning of it apply for the state of Florida or if it is just a general interpretation of the law. Also, I need another example like in a work environment when somebody imprison a person in an office.

A work enviroment violation would be the same as the home where a persons freedom to leave or move was being done to them by force and they had no visible freedom to walk way.
