Florida’s “no wake” law prohibits creating an excessive wake on a flooded street. Yes, it applies to cars. 🚗💦

🌧️ After South Florida’s recent heavy rains, flooded streets are back in the spotlight. If you have to drive through standing water, slow down. The wave from your vehicle can send water toward homes, businesses, and other drivers.

Watch the video for a quick breakdown. If you can’t tell how deep the water is, turn around.

Very soon nitrous oxide products like Galaxy Gas will start disappearing from the shelves of Florida smoke and v**e shops. Here’s why.

On October 1, 2026, a new Florida law known as “Meg’s Law” takes effect. It prohibits licensed to***co and ni****ne dealers including smoke and v**e shops from possessing, selling, delivering or giving away nitrous oxide from their licensed premises.

The law was named in memory of Meg Caldwell, a 29-year-old Florida woman whose death was connected to nitrous oxide misuse. Although nitrous oxide has legitimate medical, culinary and industrial applications, products marketed for recreational inhalation have raised serious concerns about addiction, neurological damage and death.

This is not a complete statewide ban. Certain legitimate uses remain legal, and qualifying grocery stores may continue selling nitrous oxide for food-related purposes.

The change comes through CS/SB 432, which was signed into law as Chapter 2026-148 and takes effect October 1.

Follow The Ticket Clinic for updates on new Florida laws and the rules that could affect you.

THOUSANDS OF DRIVERS HAVE BEEN ARRESTED FOR SPEEDING IN FLORIDA.

Florida’s “Super Speeder” law changed the consequences for extreme speeding. Drivers accused of going 50+ MPH over the speed limit or reaching 100+ MPH under qualifying circumstances can face criminal charges, not just a speeding ticket.

More than a year after the law took effect, thousands of arrests have been reported across Florida.

THE FLOCK CAMERA PULLBACK IN FLORIDA GETS BIGGER. 🚨

What started with FDOT ordering license plate readers removed from state highway rights-of-way has triggered a much broader response across Florida. But this is NOT a statewide Flock ban.

In just days, Baker, Bay, Brevard, Duval, Franklin, Putnam, Santa Rosa, Volusia and others have moved to discontinue programs, while agencies in Escambia, Leon, Miami-Dade, Okaloosa, Osceola, Seminole and Flagler have suspended use.

Clay, Hernando, Lake, Pasco, St. Lucie and Walton have also taken action involving cameras on county-controlled roads or property.

And it’s still changing. In the last 48 hours, Gainesville Police shut off its ALPR cameras, Flagler suspended Flock use, St. Lucie expanded restrictions to county property, and Palm Beach paused new county-road ALPR permits.

Not everyone is pulling back. Jacksonville Beach plans to continue using the technology where permitted, while Miami Beach leadership is pushing to preserve its use.

The rapid-fire announcements may be slowing, but the next wave could come from city/county commission votes, contracts and local legislation.

Did we make it into the game?

Nope. 😂 But with video game fever taking over Miami right now, this one felt like it deserved another look.

We actually created this campaign back in 2023, featuring original artwork by Miami’s own Cushy Gigs long before the latest trend.

Fast cars. Traffic stops. Palm trees. Miami. It just worked.

A crowd favorite: we’ve given away thousands of these T-shirts at events like Cars & Coffee Central Florida and Supercarsaturdaysflorida

Apparently we were onto something. 🌴🎮

Florida’s Flock camera landscape has changed dramatically in just 72 hours.

Please check the link for the most up to date information https://www.theticketclinic.com/blog/where-flock-cameras-are-banned-in-florida/

It started with the state ordering automated license plate readers including Flock cameras off state highway rights-of-way. FDOT revoked existing permits, stopped issuing new ones and gave agencies 30 days to remove affected cameras.

This is NOT a statewide ban on Flock cameras.

But many local agencies have now gone much further.

Based on our latest county-by-county tracker (12:00PM Sept 2 edit)

🔴 15 counties — Program discontinued/ended
🟠 8 counties — Suspended use by local agency
🟡 5 counties — County road restrictions
⚪ 39 counties — No broader local action confirmed

That means 27 of Florida’s 67 counties or 40% of the state have now suspended, discontinued or begun discontinuing broader ALPR operations.

Important: Florida did NOT ban Flock cameras statewide. It’s much more complicated. Different counties and agencies are taking different actions, and privately operated cameras may still remain active despite the restrictions ordered by the governor on state roads.

The situation is changing quickly, and we’re continuing to track all 67 Florida counties as new announcements come in.

The last 24 hours have been one of the biggest setbacks for FLOCK cameras in Florida yet.

Following Gov. DeSantis and FDOT's move to remove license plate readers from state highway rights-of-way, counties, sheriffs and cities across Florida are now reviewing their own programs. Some are suspending use, terminating contracts or removing cameras altogether.

But "ban" isn't exactly the right word. Florida hasn't banned FLOCK statewide, and private cameras at HOAs, businesses and other properties may remain.

There have been so many announcements that we created a Florida FLOCK Camera Tracker to keep up with them.
