I am as amazed by this story as anyone on FR, given that I thought it was SOP to refuse to cite fellow officers. However, there is one thing about this story that people here seemed to have missed that really jumped out at me:

pulled over by a Pinellas County deputy for driving a golf cart without a license plate tag

A golf cart? Where they on or near a golf course? If so, what kind of cop would pull somebody over for that? Were they driving the golf cart nowhere near a golf course, as if they were taking a trip to the store, and they got pulled over? Did the "journalist" just not know the difference between a golf cart and other, non-car vehicles, such as ATVs and the like? And finally, why th hell does a golf cart need a license plate tag? What's next on the registration list - big wheels?

I'm more surprised the deputy who stopped her didn't simply turn off the camera, then let her go. Instead the footage was released to the public.

As someone wrote above, there might be some friction between the county and the city and the deputy decided to make an example of her.

In some places, people drive their golf carts on the street, for local outings.

No —— Sherlock. I am not supportive of tabs for a license plate. It is just a tax stamp, if the license is for the safety of the police or identification of owner, a stamp doesn’t do a thing.

In Florida, golf carts driven on paved streets need to be road worthy, and follow the rules of the road.
