The sheriff's new unmarked SUV

Well maybe the vehicle will pay for itself.

My motto is to drive no faster that you can afford to drive. And with gas and tickets what they are, I have slowed down quite a bit.

sheriff needs to be voted out!

on this easter sunday, i saw one of walton county's sheriff storm troopers writing a ticket to an elderly couple dressed for church south of paxton on u.s.331. i guess something so disgusting makes us all feel a lot safer in our homes'.
oh wait, writing lots' of tickets allows the fat, rolly polly fella to drive a fancy new unmarked suv.
god bless america. in a time when gov. scott is asking for government to go on a diet, this career political animal has bellied up to the taxpayer breast. it's time to say no in '2012 and send sheriff mikkie packing out of office.

So because someone is elderly or dressed for church they should be immune from getting a ticket if they are breaking the law?! Whatever.:roll:

Somebody has voted early.

For only a 2nd post, this more or less takes the cake, particularly since he/she doesn't evidently know what we had previously for a sheriff and even less about the overall operation of the sheriff's office now compared to then. Go Sheriff Mike Atkinson and Deputies!!!!

I have recently been traveling up to South Georgia on a job and noticed that an unusual number of marked and unmarked police cars have been parked beside the roads. I asked a friend and he said they were parking and watching traffic because of the price of fuel. I don't know if this is the case here, but it makes sense.

I think 2 years ago the State of Florida did something similar to this. As I understood it they were advised they did not want a lot of running up and down the road and still wanted them to be visible.

Could you advise more detail what the current sheriff has done wrong? I'd be shocked if he got less than 80% of the vote in the next election.

P.S. Yes, seeing law enforcement doing their job DOES make us feel better.

Don't know what you find so disgusting about the ticket .............. unless it was you getting it.
