    I think after he’s satisfied his sentence, he needs be be restricted to driving an old Buick and never drink again.

      An old Buick or bicycle would be just perfect for him. He actually looks like an Oldsmobile man to me, but alas, they aren’ made anymore. I will be writing a letter to the Governor, hopefully along with many others. A man with possible compromised judgement should not be making decisions about the homeless and where they can live.

      I just watched an episode of Law & Order SVU where they threw out a case because of “misspellings/mislabeling of evidence”.
      As in Books case they might get a technicality of the cop calling him Mr. COOK, instead of Book.
      Either way…. Here is the evidence against Book (most have been downgraded to misdemeanors).
      1. He was charged with DUI. The Deputy/Trooper noticed alcohol on his breath/person.
      2. He FAILED the field sobriety test.
      3. He REFUSED to give a breathalyzer test (either on scene or while being booked).
      4.
      He LIED to Troopers on-scene about how the accident occurred. (filing false report/giving false info)
      5. While leaving the courthouse, he stated that he had Cancer and he admitted to taking meds AND drinking.
      ** = FELONY
      ALSO, Mr Book has several other “run-in’s with the law; from almost double the speed limit, to Fraud, and several others that elude me at this moment.
      While cancer is a horrible and debilitating disease and I would never wish it on anyone, how come he decides to reveal this at this time….? In a supposed sympathy defense? (can you say Karma?)
      He was involved in an accident, that he was drunk/and or on pills, plowed into some car, causing it to flip over, on an Interstate Highway and get charged with ONLY a Misdemeanor??
      Anyone else would be in “the dungeons, with the key used to weld the door shut.”

    Everyone (all egistered citizen) should write letters to the Governor, Broward County Representatives and your local county representative and that judge plus his daughter explaining that we are all watching and why he is the wrong person for his job and expect him to get the same treatment we get as jail time, fines, treatment. That he is no different from an registered citizen when it comes down to consequences being handed down to him.

    Some one should have asked Lauren Book about DUI offences and the asked her about her dad.Now that would be worthy news. I put my 2 cents in on this forum. The horrors and number of untold suffering he cause people in the past has gone unchecked, I would stage a protest demanding Justice but that is just my thoughts. All of you that suffer by his hand would be a good time to call the Media and demand Justice. Standing by doing nothing is an lost opportunity. Hit that speed dial newspaper, facebook. You the Registry Citizens and your family need to generate a strong public opinion. Do nothing and you lost a golden chance to get the heat off you!! I not telling you to break the law You need to start flooding the news What Lauren gonna say her daddy didn’t do it. Right now be a good time to take the offence approached!!

    In this article, Miami Mayor Carlos Gimenez was quoted:
    “I do believe in redemption,” Gimenez said. “Everybody can make a mistake, and people should learn from their mistakes.”

      Ron Book donates to all these people in office. It doesn’t surprise me that this fool of a mayor is saying this.

    On Halloween, more children are harmed by drunk drivers than by sex offenders.

    According to local10.com, book said he has cancer and is taking several medications. So he is taking meds and adding alcohol to them and then drives his vehicle in which he smashes into another vehicle and roles is car. How is this a misdemeanor . If I’m not mistaken, taking prescription meds while driving is considered driving while under the influence of a controlled substance, I believe. He should be hit hard with the book, help make an example for DUI’s
