The Lee County Sheriff is the primary watchdog but Fort Myers Police do monitor also. Marked, unmarked, and motorcycle patrols! They like the 6 lane roads with long stretches where they are recording you half a mile away and some use binoculars for identification purposes. If they catch you it’s a pretty sure thing they’ll write the ticket……it’s all about the $$$$$$$$$$$ and very little to do with safety as the area boast a pretty high fatal accident record. They seem more inclined to chase down Floridians but I don’t think topurist are 100% exempt either!! If you’re in SW Florida it’s best to OBSERVE speed limits—definitely school zones–that’s pretty much a NO TOLERANCE issue!!!
Overall, the Sheriffs department doesn’t harass like others have known to do. I see tham overlook a lot! It’s just when they get you…..you get your ticket and they aren’t cheap….$85 for a license plate bulb out!!
