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?

"If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people."    -Calvin Coolidge
