Default Re: Golf Cart Crossing on Buenos Aires Blvd.

Welllllllll?????????????? I had a Sumter County Sheriff's deputy stop me for corssing Buenos Aires Blvd. He was a real A** H*l* about it. Grinning through his teeth, telling me he was going to give me a ticket for $500. I told him that I was informed that it was not illegal. He put his fists on his hips like a Marine Corp Drill Instructor and said, "you didn't ask the authority, and I am the authority around here." He then turned on his blue emergency lights, blocked traffic, made me cross back across the street and made me look at the little sign that says, "no carts beyond this point." When he was finished grinding me down, I asked him if he was done. He said yes. I said, "When I was a Deputy Sheriff, never once did I ever have to talk to a law abiding citizen in the manner you just talked to me. He grinned through his partial plate again, rolled his window up and drove away.
