The hypocrisy and outright refusal to cover local stories of corruption in Miami by what passes for the local gringo media – especially if I’m the one who breaks the story – was illustrated in spades in the last couple days as the local stations couldn’t get enough of the guy in Apopka – that’s a little town 300 miles North of Miami on US 441 – who got busted for using a fancy devise to cover his tag as a way to avoid paying tolls on the Florida Turnpike.

Yet, on November 7th, I did a detailed story – including multiple photographs – that showed how Miami Police Officers driving their unmarked take home police cars were doing the same thing.

In fact, they’ve been doing this for years, and no one, either in the police department or elsewhere in the city administration ever considered that using trickery to avoid paying tolls was illegal, although as the case in Apopka shows, it’s not only illegal, it’s a felony.

Here’s the video that Channel 6 ran, and below that is my story from November 6th.

If anyone doubts that the chickenshit gringo news media is in the pocket of the local politicians and cops, then this is the story that should put an end to that bit of nonsense.
