It is something out of a nightmare. You go on what you think will be a relaxing vacation on the beach. However, through some bizarre turn of events, you wind up being accused of breaking the law while you are on vacation. You might not even have known about the law. The local police do not care. The civil authorities do not care either. You are just accused of breaking the law and now you are being told that you have to face the consequences. It seems that dozens of movies have followed this plot line. It’s the classic American tourist ends up in third world prison plot. If you come to South Florida for a nice vacation on the beach, you are unlikely to end up breaking a criminal law that you did not know existed. You are unlikely to wind up in a third world prison. But, you are still likely to face a nightmare scenario. You are still likely to be accused of breaking the law, the traffic laws that is.

Tourists in South Florida are easy targets for the police who rely on traffic tickets to fill their coffers. Florida has all sorts of traffic laws that are guaranteed to be different than the traffic laws of your home state. I can say this with confidence because traffic laws are different everywhere. The police know this and they have grown to rely on tourists as a great source of money vis a vie traffic tickets. The police rightly believe that tourists have no intention of going back to Florida later to fight a traffic ticket in court. Tourists are known to just send in a check for the ticket. In fact 85% of tourists make this mistake. Then they get points on their home state drivers license. The police officer does not have to appear in court to defend the ticket. The local government gets its money. Everyone is happy. Well, not everyone. The tourist facing this nightmare scenario is anything but happy.
