‘Booty Patrol’: Florida deputies warn drivers of truck impersonating law enforcement

https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/2bc8474a-07a0-415f-acaf-cd2be80a9de0.png

(Don’t click on that, it isn’t a video. It’s just the best image of the truck from the article).

And before you’re worried about them harassing people:

When contacted, the public information officer for the DeSoto County Sheriff’s Office did not disclose whether the operators of the truck had, in fact, pulled over any other motorists, or what charges they may be facing. She did confirm, however, that officers observed the vehicle flashing its red and blue lights on Monday. Deputies also made contact with the driver during a traffic stop and issued a citation, she said.

If all they got was a citation, they’re not pulling people over.

There’s entire wraps you can get for a blazer(?) that say THOT Patrol and are made to look like police vehicles. Been around for a long time.

They actually have them for a bunch of vehicles i guess, lol. And looking at that it’s an explorer i was thinking of.

Doesn’t sound like they’re actually impersonating. But usually red and blue lights on non-emergency vehicles are prohibited.

Just looked it up. Seems like Florida only prohibits using flashing/rotating red and blue, or just blue, lights for select emergency vehicles. So, if this person was not turning these lights on in public, then they might not be violating the law.
