Isn't this the same piece of shit that shoved his service weapon down someone's throat during sex, used Flock to stalk his ex, casually used racial slurs in texts, and threw the Nazi salute in photos? Don't worry, I already know it is, but it's probably just your average Tuesday for most county deputies in Florida.

Besides speeding, records indicate Fultz did not have an endorsement on his driver license that is required to operate a motorcycle.

What's the phrase? "Never commit two crimes at the same time". I guess we need to add "...unless you're a cop, and then its all cool, bro".

Somehow read this that he avoided arrest because of the “Super Speeder” law. Like if you speed fast enough, it’s so impressive, they let you out of the ticket. Didn’t realize this was NOTtheonion. Made for an interesting interpretation on my first read.

The Florida Highway Patrol caught Brevard County Deputy of the Year Michael Fultz riding his motorcycle 111 mph while off duty in February but did not arrest him under Florida’s ‘Super Speeder’ law, News 6 has learned.

Instead, the FHP trooper issued Fultz a civil traffic citation for exceeding the posted speed limit by 9 mph, records show.

“I’m not going to take you to jail, Fultz,” Trooper Joshua Provencher told the deputy, according to a video recording of the traffic stop obtained by News 6. “Obviously you and I are buddies. I’m not trying to show favoritism, either.”

FHP also did not address how it might respond to public concerns that the deputy may have received special treatment.

I really didn't think the Lemmy consensus would be "speeding is okay actually especially on a motorcycle"

He looks like a husky version of Dangle from Reno 911.

“But there’s a fairly decent amount of traffic. He was not weaving. He wasn’t doing anything like that. He was in a straight line in the left lane.”

I don't care at all about a motorcycle riding at those speeds under those conditions.

ACAB because of cop favoritism, and fuck this scumbag in particular, though.

But have you considered how much easier it would be to speed if 90% of the other drivers were in a train instead? There could be so many fewer potholes if oversized vehicles were restricted. The roads could be for local commercial vehicles and enthusiasts - all speed all the time.

After reading the whole article, IMO Fultz should be charged for what he actually did, and the sergeant who told the trooper, "It's up to you," should be disciplined for not doing his job. Making unpopular decisions is one of the reasons supervisory people get paid more. That guy dodged his responsibility, laying the risks he should have taken himself onto the trooper - risk of punishment for ignoring the infraction, risk of ostracism by other officers for making the arrest. When a subordinate specifically consults you for advice, it's your job to give it. This guy plain and simple let his trooper down. If he isn't stepping up right now to take 100% of the heat, his superiors should be penalizing him for still not doing his job.
