She was pulled over for no seat belt in Florida. Then a cop looked in her leggings

Florida’s Flagler County Sheriff’s Office was busy over the weekend, thanks to the Daytona 500 on Sunday and long Presidents Day weekend into Monday.

The 500-mile-long NASCAR Cup Series race held annually at Daytona International Speedway attracted thousands of people to the area, along with some troublemakers, the agency said.

Deputies in Flagler, about 25 miles north, made 19 arrests between 6 a.m. Friday and 6 a.m. on Monday; 1,009 calls for service came in and 202 traffic stops were initiated.

"While many visitors were in the area for the Daytona 500 this past weekend some decided to visit the Green Roof Inn,” posted Sheriff Rick Staly, referencing the nickname for his jail. and including a few "notable calls.”

One incident involved a 49-year-old St. Augustine woman who was initially pulled over for a seat-belt violation.

 

According to a police report, at around 10 p.m. Sunday, a deputy stopped a woman on North Ocean Shore Boulevard in Palm Coast for not buckling up. The driver of the white Dodge Caravan did not initially stop after the FCSO’s patrol car’s emergency lights were turned on behind her, according to the arrest affidavit.

The car "took an abnormal amount of time to pull over, passing multiple safe and clear areas along the unpaved shoulder,” wrote the arresting deputy in the report. "This is unusual, as I have conducted many traffic stops throughout my law enforcement career, most of which the operator pulls over immediately after engaging my emergency lights.”

The woman told the deputy she could not provide proof of insurance, but that her male passenger would retrieve the information by calling the owner and asking where it was in the vehicle.

While the passenger spoke with the car owner on the phone, the deputy asked the driver if she had drugs on her, and she said "no,” according to the report. The driver then stepped out of the Dodge, allowing the deputy to look in her purse.

Inside was a small vial of a "brown, syrup-like substance” consistent with hashish oil, said the post.

A blue pouch, bearing the letter "J,” was found tucked into her leggings by "the appendix area. In the bag was an orange pill bottle containing "several” other narcotics.

The suspect was placed under arrest on charges of possession of fentanyl, cocaine, methamphetamine, hashish, and drug paraphernalia.

She is being held with no bond.

Smells like Republican environmental policy is coming home.

Wow.

 

Florida really is head, shoulders, and anus above the rest of the states.

 

 

Japan has used history textbook that contained references to the Nanjing Massacre, anti-Japanese resistance movements in Korea, forced suicide in Okinawa, comfort women, and Unit 731 since the mid 1990s.

 

 

Maybe the parent who complained should watch 'Ruby Bridges' until they learn the lesson.

Florida Democrats try to use GOP’s book review, removal process against DeSantis memoir

"The very trap that he set for others is the one that he set for himself,” she reportedly said. 

The outlet reported that the book includes the term "woke” 46 times and "gender ideology” 10 times, which could be considered "divisive content.” The book also reportedly includes references to a video showing "dead black children, dramatically warning them about ‘racist police and state-sanctioned violence’ who might kill them at any time,” systemic racism and violence, including the shooting of House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) at a congressional baseball game in 2017. 

Police, fire, government agencies across Florida must ground millions of dollars in drones over fears of spying

Police, fire and other government agencies across Florida must ground millions of dollars in aerial drones because of a new state rule banning the agencies from using devices made by China-based DJI.

The DJI drones are among the most widely used in the world, but the DeSantis administration said they pose a security threat and did not include them on a list of approved drone manufacturers.

The approved manufacturers are:

•  

• Skydio
•  
• Parrot
•  
• Altavian
•  
• Teal Drones
•  

• Vantage Robotics

In addition to a Florida Statute change that went into effect at the beginning of 2023, requiring all government agencies to use drones only from approved manufacturers, another rule went into effect Wednesday.

It's only tax money. Not real money.

DJI dominates the drone space. No other company has comparable tech, especially for signaling. Occusync is king with no equal in sight. Would suck if other states followed suit.

Ah, the picture becomes clearer.

‘Buckle up': DeSantis escalates Disney dispute, eyes hotel taxes and road tolls

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Thursday promised a new round of action against Disney in his ongoing dispute with the entertainment giant, including looking at the taxes on Disney’s hotels and imposing tolls on roads that serve its theme parks.

 

DeSantis "weaponizing" the office to wage a culture war he hopes catapults him into the White House. 

Florida's "low taxes" are only for residents, as taxes collected from tourism subsidize them. Continuing to wage war against the single largest reason people visit Florida is incredibly stupid and short sighted. But then again so are MAGA Republicans so they're getting what they deserve.

Stunts like this are exactly why he'd be an absolutely awful president. More concerned about meaningless BS than dealing with actual problems.
