Reply #2: It is illegal for them to try to use that money for other purposes

That money comes from a part of court fees which are specifically BY LAW set to be used by Crime Stoppers:

938.06 Additional cost for crime stoppers programs.--

(1) In addition to any fine prescribed by law for any criminal offense, there is hereby assessed as a court cost an additional surcharge of $20 on such fine, which shall be imposed by all county and circuit courts and collected by the clerks of the courts together with such fine.

(2) The clerk of the court shall collect and forward, on a monthly basis, all costs assessed under this section, less $3 per assessment as a service charge to be retained by the clerk, to the Department of Revenue for deposit in the Crime Stoppers Trust Fund, to be used as provided in s. 16.555.

Prick Scott is as clueless on the way government works as Eric Cantor and Scott Walker.
