CIS RUNNING CODE

Hey just a heads up, while sitting at 118 and us 19 in my POV Friday night around 2230 hrs a Critial Intervention Serv. car coming south bound activated his strobe bar and totally ran 118 and us 19. He kept his lights on almost all the way to 110th untill he saw the signal 15 officer. Keep an eye out for these idiots. I know it worries me and if they try that shit in Largo, i'm ganna giving the guy my bracelets.

I know running a red light is only a traffic infraction. I dont see where you can get an arrestable offense on that . it wouldnt even begin to fit impersonating a leo.

If someone is intentionally running red light, speeding and other factors wouldn't it fit reckless statute which is criminal?

you have to prove reckless disregard.

Yes.. that was very dangerous...and I know all your Post did was get some Legal Babble from some LEOS or Citizens...but .... seriously some of these guys drive around like they are real cops and if you see one in your rear view window..you would think they are since you cant see the color of the overheads. One of our midnight cops (That never pulls 10-50s) ... had one going e/b on Drew through Keene and ran a red light...and he stopped him. The CIS officer said he was enroute to an assault in progress! The officer should have let him go and ge into the assault and just waited around to pick up the pieces.. I guess they would be a nice Buffer between the Real Cops and the Bad Guys...

in response to the comment on green lights florida law has changed to allow Security officers to have a 50% green/50% amber light scheme.

also CPD dispatcher. YOu are aware striking that "buffer" ( a licensed security officer) is now a 3rd degree felony right? they are covered under 784.07 like other non sworn officers.
