They are supporting these safety campaigns

These guys are even running competitions to see who can get more of you http://www.floridalel.org/Apply-For-a-Challenge/2012-CIOT-Florida-and-National-Report/CIOT-Instructions

I see no newspaper involvement or invitation to newspapers here.

And, it is not a contradiction to want a safety law and to want it to be applied with justice and truth.

You are exactly correct. On that disgusting web page from the Florida Department of Transport in conjunction with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, there is literally a contest with points, one of the major scoring sections being how many tickets they can write:

Enforcement Activity Results

Agencies will enter the number of activities completed for the particular challenge period report. This section is worth up to 110 points

Safety Belt Citations _______ Suspended Licenses _______
DUI Arrests _______ Uninsured Motorists _______
Felony Arrests _______ Speeding Citations _______
Child Safety Seat Citations _______ Reckless Driving _______
Recovered Stolen Vehicles _______ Drug Arrests _______
Fugitives Apprehended _______ Other Arrests _______
Agency’s Top Producer

Agencies will enter the name and rank of the “Top Producer” for the challenge period. Agencies will also enter the number of safety belt violations written by the top producer. This section is worth up to 25 points

Governor Scott should be ashamed. This is ridiculous, over-the-top behavior by the State of Florida. It's no surprise that the Kenyan Clown's goon squad in Washington delight in such bully-boy tactics, but it's a shame that one of the most Republican states in the nation — the governorship has been Republican since 1999, and currently the Republicans have a supermajority in the House and Senate — is willing to play along.
