Florida Officers Wear Costumes to Catch Speeders and Other Violators
Law enforcement agencies throughout Florida recently used some very unorthodox tactics to catch drivers disobeying the rules of the road.

Orange County Man Arrested in Road Rage Incident
Osceola County deputies recently arrested an Orange County man in connection with a road rage incident. Deputies say that the 37-year-old suspect was southbound on Poinciana Boulevard near Trafalgar Boulevard about 8:40 p.m. when he drove behind another vehicle and began flashing his headlights. They say that the suspect then pulled alongside the other car, rolled down his window and began swearing at the other driver and asking why he was driving so slowly. The exchange led to the two drivers getting into an argument, which resulted in the suspect getting out of his car and pounding on the other driver’s door while screaming and threatening to kill him, according to the arrest report.
