Clearwater Police Stop Man For An Illegal U-Turn And He Dies During The Traffic Stop

Clearwater police are working to curtail what is normally their highest-accident month by beefing up red light enforcement. That was the case Wednesday when they pulled over a man for making an illegal U-Turn. Moments later the driver’s 50-year-old son wasn’t breathing. The officer tried to revive the man as did paramedics in a Chick-Fil-A parking lot but they were unsuccessful.

According to the story on TBO.com there has been no ruling as of yet on Stephen Lanciotti’s cause of death but his father said the man
was feeling ill before they got in the car. There was no information on whether the illegal U-Turn was preformed due to the man’s health. Clearwater Police were on the spot because last year there were almost 600 car crashes with injuries and officers wrote almost 20,000 Florida traffic citations in the city last year.

no information in the Bradenton.com article on whether that bag was
ever recovered. There were two passengers in the car with Morgan but
both were released from custody.…

Florida Red-Light Cameras Embroiled In a Legal And Legislative Battle Royale

Florida’s controversial red light camera system is in the midst of a political and legal struggle for its survival. Earlier this week a Miami-Dade judge ruled the traffic tickets issued by cameras for running red lights were illegal. Now a Hernando county state legislator is proposing a bill to ban the cameras state wide just as another bill in the Florida legislature is being proposed to make the cameras and the tickets they issue not just civil infractions but state law.

Robert Schneck released a statement today along with his bill. The republican from Spring Hill called the traffic cameras a hidden tax and while he supports safety he doesn’t see the red light cameras as anything more as a way for local governments to generate revenue. Currently 26 cities are using the red-light cameras in Florida.…
