“You don’t know who I am.” This probably would have been the sentence pronounced in a similar situation if it happened in Italy. A movie scene that instead occurred in the United States, as told by the Florida Highway Patrol who released a video in which the president of the Flagler County Commission Joe Mullins is stopped by the police for speeding. The man behind the wheel of his Ferrari 458 Spider in 2014 it was in fact proceeding at 148 km / h in an area where the limit is 113 km / h, thus exceeding the limit set on that stretch of Interstate 95 by 32 km / h.
Once the traffic violation was ascertained, the agent began writing the minutes, with the chairman of the county commission being annoyed, claiming to be aware of how the laws work. The man’s tone is mainly due to the fact that this was not the first such violation, with local media reporting two other cases of speeding, with the official allegedly pulling out his business card in those cases. , in order to underline its institutional position. Too bad that in one of the stops, Mullins wasn’t even in his own county, but in Seminole’s. According to the reports of the lorida Highway Patrol, the man would have shown in all cases an intolerant and disrespectful behavior of the authorities, trying to avoid the fine and even threatening the agents of retaliation on their career if he was arrested. In the end, Mullins did not go to jail but still had to pay a $ 256 fine and was sentenced to take a special 4-hour course to improve his driving and compliance with regulations.
