'Uncle Sam' Tickets Hundreds Of Speeding Central Floridian Drivers
Dressed Up Deputy Helps Nab Drivers
About 20 sheriff's deputies on motorcycles pulled over speeding motorists after they were detected by Uncle Sam's laser speed-detection gun.
During the four-hour traffic operation, 275 citations were issued, according to sheriff's deputies.
"Unless Uncle Sam hops in your car and puts his foot on your gas pedal and makes you speed, we are not entrapping anybody," Orange County traffic division Officer Ken Wynne said.
Speeding tickets handed out by Uncle Sam start at $80 and increase with each mile per hour over the speed limit, Orange County sheriff's deputies said.
Local 6 News did not reveal Uncle Sam's whereabouts, urging motorists to drive carefully wherever they are.
Later during the week of Fourth of July, Uncle Sam will be on the lookout for red-light runners and aggressive drivers in Orange County.
In the past, deputies have dressed up as elves near Christmas, the Grinch at New Year's and a leprechaun around St. Patrick's Day.

RE: This will **** some off...
Meanwhile...
Don't you feel sorry for the bound? I think Keith need a hug...
"Ah, I count 21 today," Hubbard said.
"And, how many today could you go out and find?" Pipitone said.
"Zero," Hubbard said.
Pipitone reported that Hubbard laughed, appreciating the absurdity of verifying addresses of offenders who have no address.
Yes, it's quite funny when manpower and resources are given the wrong priorities.

'Invisible' Sex Offenders Wander Central Fla. Streets
Groups of convicted sex offenders wandering Central Florida streets are considered missing and "invisible" because they are homeless and no longer have addresses where authorities can find them, according to a Local 6 News investigation.
The report said transient sex offenders are required to have their addresses or locations verified by the sheriff's office twice a year. But many sex offenders without homes in Central Florida have no addresses.
"It really puts a bind on us because we have to go out and hunt them down and try to find them," sex offender squad member Sgt. Keith Hubbard said.

Yea, no ****. I'm sure people probably now realize that there are different departments formed to do different tasks. I sure wouldn't want some 1st year traffic officer investigating a murder somewhere.
Oh, and they do the same things here with highways. When the cops get a lot of calls about people weaving, speeding and such, they set up about 15 or so police officers and catch the people offending. the only problem is that they catch the ones on Saturday when traffic is lighter and not at 7:30 AM when the jackasses who are late for work are weaving in and out of traffic while on their cell phones.

RE: This will **** some off...
It sounds like the Florida cops wanted to do something like have a pajama day! I would love for the cops in my town to be able to play dress up and F-off while writing tickets. After all,is that not what they get paid to do!?
Iwould not even take a cop dressed like the grinch seriously. Nor would I give him the proper respect an officer deserves.

RE: This will **** some off...
Another funny thread.
Did any of those people get tickets when they weren't actually doing something wrong?
No?
Then they can shut the hell up.
The people that constantly whine about this crap need to learn that they should be accountable for their own actions. You screw up and get caught, BLAM...you pay the price.
Get over it.
