@Gąska Isn't that how you're supposed to drive a tank?

But you cannot drive a buggy pulled by horses while drunk.
I wouldn't want to be in a buggy pulled by drunken horses.

suspicion of cycling under the influence
.......why is that a thing?
Fun fact: until a few years ago, drunk cycling in Poland could lose you your driver's license. For cars. No, you don't need any license at all to cycle.
Pretty sure that’s the same in Germany.
And it’s kind of reasonable, too. You don’t need a license to cycle, but drunk cycling is illegal, and since you are recklessly endangering people in traffic, that negatively reflects on how you are behaving in traffic in general.

@topspin except it makes it impossible to carry out equal punishments for equal misdemeanors.

@boomzilla Besides the stupidity of (a) drag racing, and (b) doing so on a road like that, what kind of idiot drag races a >4000 lb., 5–7 passenger SUV?
Also, with a base price >$40k, I doubt it was owned by the teen driving it. I think somebody has some very ticked off parents.

Status: The other day we were playing fibbage and one of the questions (to which you need to come up with an answer for to fool others) was "A Florida woman returned home one day in 2012 to discover that, strangely, her ____ had been stolen while neighbors just watched it happen". The correct (and crazy, that's why it was in there in the first place) answer was her driveway. How do you even steal that?!
Anyways, my answer was "Alligator," which everyone found hilariously absurd enough to "like" it, but nobody picked it. I guessI need better friendsthey have never read this thread. It's not like it was particularly unlikely.

Piece by piece.
I wonder more how one can steal it when the neighbors watched it happen. Either they didn't like the woman very much or the thieves successfully convinced the neighbors that the woman was so fussy about the color that they simply had to take it back.

Probably carrying a ladder

If it was a fancy paved driveway, stealing it is quite possible (and just involves a bit of digging). If it was just simple concrete or asphalt, nobody'd bother as that sort of thing is really cheap (per square foot) in the first place.

Florida judge reminds remote-working lawyers to still dress appropriately:
"It is remarkable how many attorneys appear inappropriately on camera," Bailey wrote. "We've seen many lawyers in casual shirts and blouses, with no concern for ill-grooming, in bedrooms with the master bed in the background, etc. One male lawyer appeared shirtless and one female attorney appeared still in bed, still under the covers."
"And putting on a beach cover-up won't cover up you're poolside in a bathing suit. So, please, if you don't mind, let's treat court hearings as court hearings, whether Zooming or not," Bailey wrote.

They're handling court cases over Zoom?!?!?
Fuck, might as well just do it public on Twitch or whatever...

They cracked the case. A Florida woman was arrested Wednesday night for allegedly filling hundreds of residential mailboxes with plastic Easter eggs stuffed with pornographic pictures and religious
writings, authorities said.
In addition to the X-rated content, eggs also contained a random assortment of goodies, including a fish-shaped cracker, toilet paper, a powdered drink mix and religious pamphlets.

@Tsaukpaetra said in Florida Man goes to...:

I imagine they're not using meetings that are generally open all the time. There's a bunch of settings (such as limiting the time they're open) that make the meetings less of a hole.
And the court cases will be public record eventually.

Instead of using metric, it's better to use units that people can relate to.

Maybe a little too serious for the topic:

Honestly, I'd take it.

Heavily tattooed Florida man charged in sex assault allegedly abducted, drugged, beat victim in camper
Is it prejudiced to say he looks like it? I mean, obviously it is, but is it wrongfully prejudiced?
-
@topspin When police ask the victim for a description of the attacker, "Did he have any distinguishing features?", that's pretty distinctive. It's almost up there with a killer tattooing a picture of the murder scene on his chest.

That tattoos are so popular with criminals suggests that, by and large, they aren't very bright.

Speaking of too serious... Oh, and a kid was involved as well.
