Florida Highway Patrol illegally tickets motorists who warn others about speed traps
According to http://www.wtsp.com
Tampa, Florida — When the Florida Highway Patrol pulls someone over on the highway, it’s usually because they were speeding.
But Eric Campbell was pulled over and ticketed while he was driving the speed limit.
Campbell says, “I was coming up the Veterans Expressway and I notice two Florida Highway Patrol Cars sitting on the side of the road in the median, with lights off.”
Campbell says he did what he always does: flashed his lights on and off to warn drivers coming from the other direction that there was speed trap ahead.
According to Campbell, 60 seconds after passing the trooper, “They were on my tail and they pulled me over.”
Campbell says the FHP trooper wrote him a ticket for improper flashing of high beams. Campbell says the trooper told him what he had done was illegal.
