The crap that they bolt all over their tags is illegal too - I am amazed when someone says that they were told that their donation would help them out since they are a "booster" member
Larry, you'll like this one.
THE Sheriff (this came straight outta da mans office via the major) sent us (the motor unit) out to an area in reference to citizen complaints of excessive speed in a neighborhood with an unobstructed through street.
We hadn't been there 15 minutes when I clock Billy Bob on RADAR at 56/25!
in his mini pickup.
I stop him and immediately take note that his entire rear window is covered with Florida Sheriff's Assn. and Youth Ranch Assn. decals, the ones that look like our shoulder patches.
When I return to his truck with the citation, he asks whats that? I tell him, a citation. A what? A ticket
.
He goes nuts!!!
Tells me to look at his window, that he's been a supporter of "the sheriff" since 1970 something? (I believe it! He had every year on his window).
I respond that I had indeed noticed and, by the way, your rear view is obstructed, but I'm just gonna give you a warning for that
He said he was gonna call the Sheriff, that he knew him personally (*and yes, he did*), so I made sure he had the #.
Got a call about 20 minutes later to call the Sheriff (directly). When he asked what happened, I told him everything.
He asked if the guy dropped his name? I said yes. He got a little ticked with the guy about that! Say's thats what I expect you to do
Last I heard of it.......
So ladies and gentlemen....keep buying those stickers......
