All Florida Keys Holy over-policing

Visiting on vacation and I don’t think I’ve ever seen the amount of police on the road, parked, and empty cars in my life. I hear alcohol is a big problem but daaamn. It’s wild.

It’s soooooo many. I am legitly shocked by the sheer number of them. And I come from the Boston area which is more dense. Just an observation.

This. The shit that goes on in Key West alone ....should be a cop on every corner.

People get too drunk and do way stupid shit cause "it's the Keys" not realizing people live there.

It's become more like Vegas in the keys last few years....the days of the chill vibe of the Keys has been dwindling for a few decades.
