He offered an electronic presentation and printed emails as evidence. Ouch! Nothing new to us locals though, Waldo is/was only eclipsed by the Hampton PD. You can google it if interested. I believe they've since done away with the Hampton PD. Alachua PD is rapidly trying to outpace Waldo's reputation. Mind you I don't have a problem with those that are 15-20 or more over posted, but Waldo would ding people for being over 45 when they passed the sign where 55 went to 45 and lecture motorists that said: "but I was slowing down" "45 means 45 when you pass the sign sir, please sign here....."

They use to stand in the middle of the school zone in waldo waiting for it to go off, any cars caught in the middle when the flashing school light turned on doing the posted 35 MPH was flagged to pull over and given a $190 dollar ticket........ Problem is you can't tell when the lights turn on if you've already driven past them.
They got my wife like this one day along with three other vehicles.... Gave her a ticket for doing 5 mph over the posted speed of the school zone... cop told her if he wrote it for the 15 over, the cost would be high, so take the 5 mph, as he was giving her a break! |

Red Me and another soldier (who I didn't know but was also in uniform) got tickets at the same time by the little fuc*tard. He pulled us both over at the same time. It was my first time going up to Blanding. I was driving the posted 65 speed limit then it went to 45 real quick and he gave me a ticket for that. Went into the little podunk pos PD which was literally 3 rooms just to see what a shit hole it was. I never drove past there again. Always go around (Rt21 which really isn't out of the way. It was the little fu**tard in the middle. If they disagreed why didn't all 3 of them not do it. They take an oath to the Constitution not a POS Sheriff. Just like I took an Oath to the Constitution not the Commander and Chief. If I was asked to do something like taxation without representation it would be my duty to disobey those orders. But since any retard can become a cop it makes sense that they went along like sheaple. No wonder people hate police. If they knew it was illegal they should have said something in the beginning. |

living in Gainesville, I drive often through Waldo. Never got a ticket there, because I know they write them often, and keep an eye on my speed. The signs are well placed, and only a person not paying attention can get a ticket.
I think the info presented so far is misleading. None of the emails, or memos that have been presented so far say 'quota'. My guess is that there are some disgruntled employees, using this as a way to go after the boss. |

Hampton almost lost it's city charter for the BS - they annexed some 500 yards of 301 and started running the same game as Waldo. Funny a one red light and two stop signs town had some 12 police cars (some crazy number like that).
Waldo has so many police cars that they have to park them in the gas station parking lot on the outskirts of town - all paid for by tickets - to me they are nothing but a bunch of whores turned out to make their man some money! Warning to all = do not speed on 301 from I-10 to 441. I thought it was funny when a guy asked me for directions to Tampa at US 90 and I-10...When I asked him were he was coming from - he said SC - he was going over an hour out of his way to avoid Waldo.

APD is nowhere near as bad as they were 15 years ago. Friday night Wolf Packs once a month on I-75 for 6 hours. I think the most they did was 125 stops with a 115 written. About $6K in fines if my memory is correct. Now it seems the emphasis is on school zone enforcement. Fines are bigger and it looks good to be out "protecting the children". As for Waldo, at one point under a previous Chief they generated 150% of the cities budget in revenue from traffic fines. Starke isn't as bad as people make it out to be. In fact I can't ever recall being on 301 and seeing a Starke PD car on a traffic stop. I think they get their rep just by being stuck in the middle of Waldo, Hampton and Lawtey. Here's a real simple solution to the problem, stop allowing cities to profit from fines. Or at least drop the percentage they get from them. If a municipality only got say 10% there wouldn't be as much financial interest in writing tickets. As for tickets from SO and big city PDs: GPD's traffic unit had two officers write over 5K tickets in a year, I can't remember if that was combined or each officer. But either way that's a crap ton for 2 guys to generate. |

Having grown up in Fl and the fact that I still need to go thru Waldo to see family, I can tell you that tickets are the only thing Waldo is famous for. They will ticket for 5 over if you are from out of state. The reason is that there is absolutely NO REASON to go to Waldo, but everyone goes THRU Waldo, except for MAYBE the antique mall on 301. This is how that place makes $. Also on that 301 corridor south of Baldwin, look out for Hawthorne and Lawtey. There's one spot where you can see with the naked eye 3 speed limit signs and they each have a different number on them. So if you blink, you are going 15 MPH over.

City of Miami.... Sure. City of Midway (Gadsen County) Hell no. I would like to hear what benefits these small towns with a force of say a dozen officers can really provide over having 6 more added to the sheriffs office. Example - City of Spanish Moss disbands it's agency of twenty officers (ten per 12 hour shift) and contracts with the County Sheriff Office. The County of Dogwood takes those ten officers as part of the contract. Instead of having those ten officers work Spanish Moss six are sent to neighboring areas like Ghettoville, SlumTown, and RapeCity. So now Spanish Moss is being serviced by two officers per shift instead of ten. That is the claim many cities use to keep their small agencies. But that is an issue of contract negotiation. The Town of Miami Lakes when it incorporated as a city contracted with Miami Dade Police Department. The contract stated that 65 MDPD Officers will work as Miami Lakes Cops. Their cars have Miami Lakes marking and their uniforms are also marked with Miami Lakes Patches. They are primarily assigned to work Miami Lakes and do except for Priority 3 calls in neighboring areas due to mutual aid agreements. Miami Lakes has not had issues with the contract services due to proper contract negotiation. A lot of these Po'Dunk agencies and cities use police power as a money making system. Traffic enforcement, red light cameras, etc..... Also it is used as political tools for further corruption. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Waldo is hardly as corrupt as say Sweetwater, Hialeah, Miami Springs, and all the other little cash cows in Dade County. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: I was through Waldo yesterday. Average speed up US 301 was in excess of 65 mph. No cops in sight at all. Look for crime in general to spike up now in Waldo as well. This morning, I'll be driving up to Jax again, and I bet I still won't see any ASO presence there. ASO will handle crime. After all they have jurisdiction there even if Waldo PD wasn't disbanded. I'm glad that they disbanded such a corrupt agency. Waldo is hardly as corrupt as say Sweetwater, Hialeah, Miami Springs, and all the other little cash cows in Dade County. I want them to disband those agencies too... except for Hialeah. They aren't corrupt they're just different culturally.
