Default A little more research on that law

I found this while searching the internet - interesting -

»Flashing headlights on/off to warn of speed trap (FL)(FS 316.2397(7) for flashing or blinking headlights)

Much has happened since my 12/09 ticket. An attorney fed up with government overreach agreed to represent me, filing a 6-page motion to dismiss. That worked.

Then, this week, he filed a class action lawsuit against the attorney general of the State of Florida for the 2400+ motorists who have been ticketed under the same statute - despite several court decisions (orders) that the statute did not apply to motorist communications.


(Note: Although the above says "this week" the info is from July 2010.)

From Channel 7 news, Miami:
