He also did say that local municipalities can have more restrictive rules that supersede the statutes. He said the commander of the district sheriffs department is reaching out to the city of Wildwood and the villages to see if there are more restrictive measures in place.
He said as far as the Sumter County sheriffs department is concerned pending discovery of more restrictive rules no deputy sheriff will be stopping you from crossing 466A at the traffic light of Pinellas/Penrose.  |
. Unless it has recently changed, the highlighted comment is INCORRECT. Unfortunately, I would not trust that "deputy" to be my witness should I need it in court
. The "incorrectness" (and SINGLE EXCLUSION) of his statement is clearly listed in the state laws. Too lazy to search for it now but it is quite obvious.
