    Unfortunately, I know Florida has changed quite a bit over the last 25-30 years
    But I don’t understand the deportation thing there’s no question will be convicted on all three counts. I can’t see him being deported before he serves his time with politics in the criminal justice system in Florida changing somewhat I’d be very surprised, but I’ve been surprised before the other thing that surprises me is everything I’ve seen shows it marked as Port St. Lucie. That was nowhere near Port St. Lucie it may have been in St. Lucie County, which is the other side of the state. It’s hard to pinpoint in that part of lower Central Florida but it’s either Highlands or St. Lucie County so once again the media got that screwed up

    Does anybody know if this happened in the county that has Sheriff Grady Judd?

    If so I want to see the press conference.

    If I didn't know better it seems almost intentional how could he start turning without even looking first .....that's trucking 101 to check your mirrors.....

    That's the problem with them illegally driving a CMV with no training, no authorization to be here, no desire to follow our laws, no real CDL, just a California fraudulent license, etc.

    He never had trucking 101

    Yes I'm forgetting he didn't care to come legally much less care about being professional and safe ...

    Appreciate that, thanks. I'm obviously not from Florida but I like how he publicly calls out criminals that "do business" in his county. I think there should be more of that.
