Over the weekend, Tampa Police said they made 1,183 traffic stops, issued 1,012 warnings, and issued 531 citations citywide.
Police made 207 traffic stops, issued 103 warnings and issued 106 citations on the Courtney Campbell alone.
“We need to listen to the voice of the people, right?”
Last summer, the Florida Department of Environment Protection considered adding amenities like golf courses, pickleball courts, and hotels to state parks across the state. After public outcry, the plans were shelved, but the fight isn't over for some Florida residents.
