Florida official caught on video dropping title after pulled over for speeding
By David Propper
July 15, 2022
A Florida county commissioner with a lead foot dropped his title twice in back-to-back speeding incidents — declaring “I run the county” in one of the traffic stops, footage of the cases show.
In the latest encounter, Flagler County Commissioner Joe Mullins was in his red Ferrari when he was pulled over by a Florida Highway Patrol trooper on June 19, according to reports.
Mullins had been traveling 92 mph in a 70 mph-speed zone on Interstate 95, Fox 35 reported.
As the trooper is talking to Mullins, the trooper stops and says “I’m sorry?”
Mullins then says “I run the county so I know how that works.”

My question is: how does a County Commissioner afford a Ferrari?
