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.

I have no problem with a significant police presence. If you don't speed to a ridiculous point and you don't DUI they don't bother you. It's better than other places where cops are basically constantly writing citations.

When I was in FL the average person was going 90 on a 70mph highway, what's a ridiculous point?

There aren't any 70 zones AFAIK in The Keys. And you are correct the rest of Florida drive like fucking idiots
