Usually "professional, courtesy" extends mostly other police officers and law-enforcement agents, basically anyone who carries a gun and has arrest power. Spouses get a break because the officers have to pay for it as well..
Florida? I would think a cop would be relieved to know who he or she was dealing with.
Yep. You're right.
O'Connor, 51, who retired as assistant chief in 2016, had been fired from the department in 1996 after she was arrested after her future husband was stopped for drunken driving.
O'Connor kicked the windows of a patrol car and punched a deputy. She pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of battery and obstruction. She was fired, then later reinstated.
In Florida, golf carts driven on paved streets need to be road worthy, and follow the rules of the road.
There is more history than covered in the story. She was a controversial hire into the position due to her history, which includes charges of battery on a law enforcement officer, obstruction and disorderly intoxication. Appointment as Tampa Police Chief was her “second chance” to make good. She failed in less than a year.
