One of three charges against Ron Book dropped

The prosecution has filed their Information against Ron Book in his DUI case.

Notably absent is one of the charges (refusing to submit to a breathalyzer), which the State Attorney chose not to bring because of “lack of evidence”.

In Florida, refusing to blow is a mandatory license suspension. Since refusing to submit to the test is pretty clear cut, what’s not clear is why the prosecutor felt there was lack of evidence.

In Florida, it’s better to be rich and guilty than poor and innocent!

    Boy, you are certainly right about THAT– it’s better to be rich and guilty – ANYWHERE – than poor and innocent.
    They need to change the last phrasing of the Pledge of Allegiance that schoolchildren all over the country are required to recite each morning before class begins to make it resonate more with reality. “With liberty and justice for all.” is how it ends now, but to make it resonate with reality we need to add just four more words – “who can afford it.”
    Because if you can’t afford it, you sure as hell ain’t gonna get it. But you WILL get all the injustice you can stand, or can’t stand rather, for free. I certainly did.
    The Epstein case is a perfect example of being rich and guilty and not really punished. And my case is the opposite.

    This is political corruption at it’s finest. We know they dropped this charge because they know his daughter is a senator and he has political influence. Where is the ‘equal protection’ under the law?

    I guess M.A.D.D. only gets mad when the offender is poor. Are they averse to going after people with power?

      We wrote to them and they ignored us. I guess they only object to poor drunk drivers.

    That’s okay, because Karma is a b!+ch and will get him back 100 fold. (Don’t ask me how I know this)
