I am retired from Federal Law Enforcement after thirty three years and what I see in Charlotte county with the Sheriffs department is an absolute disgrace. A marked police car just by its presence is a deterrent to speeding or any other traffic violation. I have seen officers hiding their patrol cars on Kings Highway, Veterns, Peachland, and Loveland and shooting radar. This is nothing more than a shakedown by the Sheriffs department and the County for money. I find their actions to be disgraceful and a abuse of the badge and office that all of us should hold in high regard. I am 65 years old and have never had any violations on my driving record which started when I was 14 years old. Not real good management.
