Sheriff Speeds Up the Crackdown: Driving 100 MPH? Pump the Brakes (and Your Wallet)

-

 

Orange County Sheriff John Mina has had it with Florida’s fast and furious wannabes. In a state where it seems every car on I-4 thinks it’s auditioning for a Fast & Furious movie, Mina is drawing a hard line: if you’re caught speeding—especially at over 100 mph—you’re in for more than just a slap on the wrist!

Speeders, Beware: Sheriff Mina’s Got the Need… for Enforcement

Sheriff Mina has made it clear: driving at outrageous speeds isn’t just irresponsible—it’s dangerous. “There’s no excuse for turning Florida’s highways into personal drag strips,” he said, likely while imagining the soundtrack to Danger Zone playing in the background.

Florida law already comes down hard on speed demons:

  • Going 50 mph over the speed limit? That’s a moving violation, a hefty fine, and four points on your license.

  • Do it again? Now you’re looking at a $2,500 fine and a one-year driving vacation—though not the fun kind with a convertible.

  • A third strike? Congratulations, you’re now the proud owner of a third-degree felony. Enjoy explaining that to your insurance company!

Racing and Stunt Driving: The Sheriff Says “Nope”

But Mina isn’t stopping at just speeders. He’s also advocating for tougher penalties on racing and stunt driving, especially when it interferes with First Responders. Because nothing says “poor life choices” like doing donuts near an ambulance trying to save someone’s life.

The Sheriff has called for legislation to put the brakes on these reckless antics. If he gets his way, it won’t just be your engine revving—you’ll be hearing the sound of your bank account draining and your license getting shredded!!

Fast Cars, Slower Consequences

Florida’s love affair with speed isn’t new, but Sheriff Mina is determined to make sure it doesn’t turn into a full-blown breakup with common sense. His message to speeders is simple: slow down, or you’ll be paying for more than just gas.

And for those thinking about pulling off a stunt? Remember, there’s no trophy for “Best Drift While Annoying a Paramedic.”

Final Thoughts: The Road to Responsibility

The Sheriff’s crackdown is a reminder that Florida’s roads aren’t race tracks, and drivers who treat them as such will face consequences faster than they can say, “But officer, it was just one time.”

So, the next time you’re tempted to floor it on the freeway, ask yourself: is the thrill worth the fine, the points, or the felony? Because Sheriff Mina is watching, and he’s not impressed by your need for speed. Period.

  MY MOST IMPORTANT STORY  Dozens of Forgotten Little Girls Held at Male Juvenile Prison for Over a Year! Welcome to the Sunshine State, where the palm trees sway, the alligators lurk, and the legislative process makes Kafka look like a life coach!  Florida House Bill HB21 . Not just a compensation bill but possibly a 20 million dollar "Stay out of Jail Free" card for some folks. This is a bill that does some good—but also trips over its own shoelaces, falls down a staircase, and lands on a historical oversight so big, it might as well have its own zip code! An oversight that overlooks what I consider to be its most vulnerable victims! The Setup: Justice with a Catch HB21 was enacted on July 1, 2024 to compensate victims of abuse from two male juvenile detention facilities located in Florida, Dozier and Okeechobee.  It says, “Hey, survivors of abuse between 1940 and 1975, here’s some compensation for the horrific things you endured!” Sounds good, right?

Here's A New HOA Rule Dictating What You Can Do Inside Your Home

HOA Overreach: When Your Own Home Isn’t Really Your Own The joys of homeownership—the American dream!  That magical place where you can paint the walls any color you like, blast your music (within reason), and enjoy the simple pleasure of—wait, never mind..... Turns out, your HOA might have something to say about what you do inside your own four walls. Case in point: A longtime homeowner, who has peacefully lived in his residence for 25 years, was blindsided when his HOA suddenly banned smoking inside individual homes.  That’s right—after a quarter-century of no issues, he was informed that lighting up indoors was no longer an option.  The new rule, passed at the HOA’s annual meeting by a majority vote, now restricts smoking to a designated outdoor area. Now, while some might see this as a health-conscious decision, the homeowner—whose wife is a smoker—sees it as an unfair overreach.  In a letter to a local publication, he expressed frustration, writing, “I’ve live...

Postal Police Stuck Behind ‘Keep Out’ Signs While Mailmen Face Muggers: You Can’t Make This Stuff Up!!

As crime against letter carriers surges, one would think that America’s armed, uniformed Postal Police might be hitting the streets to protect our mail.  Instead, they’re still glued to their post office entrances like sentries guarding Fort Frownmore.  Why?  Because since 2020, the Postmaster General decreed they must “protect postal property” only—meaning, they currently serve as glorified lobby bouncers rather than actual roaming guardians of the mailstream. “ They’re robbing letter carriers, they’re sticking a gun in a letter carrier’s face and they’re demanding arrow keys, ” laments Frank Albergo , president of the National Postal Police Union and a Postal Police Officer himself.  An "arrow key" in the context of the Post Office is a specialized, universal key that postal workers use to access various locked mail receptacles, including collection boxes, apartment mailboxes, and cluster boxes. Albergo isn’t exaggerating—research shows over 100 physical assaul...
