we're to take a look back at the top story
lines in Florida politics for twenty twenty five, and we'll
look ahead to twenty twenty six with the publisher of
Florida Politics, Peter Shorsch at eight thirty five. Right now,
let's get to today's top stories with Natalie Rodriguez.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Good morning, Natalie, Good morning.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Officials in Rhode Island are releasing new video of the
man who may have shot and killed two students and
wounded nine others at Brown University.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Now.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Last night, hundreds gathered for a vigil for the two
students killed in Saturday's mass shooting. Police did release new
images of this person of interest they're saying may have
been near this of the crime earlier in the day
at four six PM, there was a man spotted again
not far from the side of the attack, and some
of the clips he has a small bag. He's described
(01:11):
as a five to eight with a stocky build. As
for the victim, seven of the nine survivors remained in
the hospital last night. One of them is still in
critical condition.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
So these videos that were released yesterday, it's stuff that
we had already seen, but it's cleaned up so you
get a better picture of the person of interest, although
you know, there's only so much he could see him.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
He's got a beanie on, he's got winter clothes on
and a mask.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
So yeah, he's pretty well covered up. There's nothing really
identifiable about him except.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
The way he walks.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Yeah, I think that's going to be the key. He
has like these distinctive movements with the way he walks
and these mannerisms as he's doing something. A lot of
this video is from before the shooting, about two hours
before gunfire broke out on campus. That's when he's repeatedly
circling the same streets. At one point he stops and
(02:03):
he kind of turns away from a car that's approaching.
You wonder what exactly he's doing there. At that time.
Maybe he's chasing things out. I don't know, but there's
something distinctive about his mannerisms and the way he walks.
You gotta figure somebody between that and his builds and
all of that, they'll be able to identify him. What
(02:27):
I thought was interesting last night the mayor of Providence
was explaining Brown University's set up. And there are a
lot of questions, how come with all the cameras that
they have on campus, like twelve hundred of them, we
only have these few images of this suspect. And the
mayor was saying, Brown University, the way it's set up,
(02:50):
it's kind of like right in the middle of this community,
and so he can conduct the shooting on campus. And
then that particular bill, it's at the edge of campus.
So the minute he leaves, he's in the residential neighborhood.
He's no longer on campus.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
It's not like a campus where there's a lot of
greenery around you've got to actually go there, and it's
just the college he's on and off campus, because it's
in the middle of a populated area.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Yeah, yeah, Like the next block is a residential neighborhood.
And so then you're relying on the doorbell cameras and
things like that to try to track the suspect as
he was leaving. So that's added to the complications here.
But it's the latest still not in custody, the manhun continues.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
That's correct.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
Well.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Governor DeSantis and legislative leaders continue looking at the impacts
of artificial intelligence and a variety of areas from insurance, education,
to the workforce and data centers. He has objected to
the possibility of the federal government preempting state AI regulations.
Doesn't expect the federal order to interfere with Florida efforts.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
We're all about technologies that can enhance our experience as
Floridans and Americans and as human beings. But what we
don't want to do is be subsidizing or put a
thumb on the scale for technologies that are going to
supplant the Human.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Experience Center President Ben Alberton. He says that the emerging
technology does need some regulation, and the legislature is supposed
to be looking at this issue during the twenty twenty
sixth session.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Yeah, so I can understand where the President's coming from.
You start having these patchwork regulations, you know, in all
these different.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
States that are going to be different, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Could become very complex, whereas if you had one federal
standard for different regulations, that could work a bit better
in this particular circumstance. But I think the governor's right.
I don't think the president can just do that with
an executive order. I think that's something that Congress would
have to do.
Speaker 6 (04:50):
That.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
We all know how that goes health care.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Yeah, so you can understand the state wanting to take
action immediately rather than wait around for Congress to do
its job.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
And I think that's what the state is going to
do in this opiods.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Once again, you're flying the plane as you're building it.
Now it seems like it's true again. Well, an argument
with a roommate escalating and ending with a Sweetwater man
arrested for smashing a vodka bottle across the guy's head.
Please say it all started when he walked in front
of his roommate's camera.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
The victim was live streaming. Twenty six year old.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Abdul Raman Muklef al Mutari admitted to the fight, and
according to police, i'll Abdul Rahman got into his roommate's face,
at which time the roommate pushed him with both hands,
trying to create distance, like you know, dude, get out
of my face, just get go well. Almatari then grabbed
(05:46):
a bottle of gray goose and smashed.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
It on the left side of his head.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
That exactly right, That lets him more punches being thrown.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
One way to get some views.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Yeah, no payper of you here. The vic tim had
bruises all across his head consistent with the attack. He
did want to press charges, So al Matari is at
last check still locked up in the Turner Guildford Night
Correctional Center with bond set as to be set to.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Actually, I am not condoning this action in any way,
but as someone who does have to do some stuff
on camera, I can tell you that, you know, you
get a rhythm going and it's all coming out rights
and somebody interrupts that boy pisses me.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
Son does this? I'll be doing an Instagram story and
make it a reel or something, and all of a sudden.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Mommy, yeah dude, I'm recording.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yeah, some better watch out. Do you have any vodka
bottles in the house?
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Bottles? All right?
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Natalie Rodriguez with today's top stories. Natalie, thanks so much.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
You got it.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Now let's bring in accu Weather Media oologist Jason Katerina
for today's forecast. And Jason, it might be cold in
other parts of the country, but it's about as nice
as it can get here.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Oh, just beautiful, beautiful weather.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
Really. The only thing across the country you got to
rory about is that clipper system making its way across
the upper Midwest. That could bring some delays to anybody
traveling back to Chicago or out of Chicago Land area
and down the Ohio Valley as we go through later
parts of today, especially tomorrow though with quite a bit
of wind up that way, so it could be a
(07:24):
bit of a pumpy ride for anybody doing some traveling
in an airplane coming down to South Florida for the
holiday season here. So otherwise, just beautiful day for South Florida. Sunshine,
a few clouds, the high up to eighty. We still
do have to worry about rip currents out of the
beach if you are traveling to the beach again. That
continues all the way into tomorrow with that on short
(07:45):
flow with high pressure off to our north, so with
the easterly winds can be some extra surf and that
possibility for some rip currents to be cautious out at
the beach. Partly cloudy, warm nights and night just down
to seventy and then a beautiful day tomorrow, partly sunny Thursday,
the high up to eight three. The warming trend continues
right into Friday, with a mix of clowns and sun,
the high of eighty five up to Tampa. They're going
(08:06):
to get a bit of that cold front attached to
that clipper system that's making its way through the Upper Midwest.
That's going to bring some chances for showers as we
head into the day Tomorrow. Partly stunded, very pleasant today
though the high seventy eight. Cloudy tonight remaining pretty mild,
just down to sixty five. A morning shower in spots tomorrow,
so we probably want to take an umbrellas. We'll get
some periods of rain and the thunderstorm in the afternoon,
(08:28):
the high still.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Up to eighty one.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
Couple of evening showers. Then on Friday, a nicer day,
a little cooler in the wake of that frontal passage,
mits a mix of clowns that sun rather the high
of seventy six for us on Friday up in Tampa.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
All right, Akia, they're meteorologists chasing Katerina. Chason, we'll talk
to you tomorrow. Thanks so much. See you in the am.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Tom Ryan Gorman with Dana McKay, Jason barnsher Breonna Torres,
and Natalie Rodriguez from our newsroom. Coming up this hour,
we'll run through today's forecast for you with Haki Weather
meteorologists chasing Katerina before six point fifteen. After that, we've
got our Bloomberg Business report. Plus President Trump ordered an
oil blockade of Venezuela, and could Nick Reiner end up
(09:09):
getting the death penalty for the murders of his parents?
Robin Michelle, our legal analyst Royal Oaks going to break
that down for us at six thirty five.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
So a busy hour.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Ahead right now, Let's get to today's top stories with
Natalie Ronriguez.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Good morning, Natalie, Good morning.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Natania, who not alone blaming the
Australian government for encouraging anti Semitism. Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz
is echoing his sentiment following Sunday's massacre at a popular
Sydney beach Neatanie, who had said that that Australian Prime
Minister Anthony Albanesi's policies, including the recognition of a Palestinian
(09:44):
state in September, encouraged jew hatred, and Wie Wasserman Schultz says,
quote in Australia, there has been since October seventh, especially
a massive violent rise in anti Semitic attacks against the
Jewish community. And again she's not alone. I think our
representative Spyron Donald's, Jared Moskwitch, just to name a few,
have also come out in support of Israel and the
(10:08):
abolition of anti Semitism.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
You know, we saw the antisemitic response to the October
seventh attacks in Israel's response to those attacks here in
the US, we saw them in Europe. I didn't think
any of that was all that surprising. Maybe a little
bit in terms of the size and scale and just
how in your face it was. But we knew anti
(10:31):
Semitism existed in these places Australia.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
I'm a little surprised about I didn't. I had no idea. Yeah,
so this is kind of new to me.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Of course, I wasn't really paying attention to pro Palestinian
protests in Australia. But clearly there has been an issue there.
It's been festering and now it's led to this and
going back here Stateside and the anti Semitism problem that
we're dealing with. We talked out what happened in South
(11:01):
Florida last week. You had the Jewish teacher attacked on
the street outside of Jewish day school. Now there's video
out of New York. You've got a group of young
Jewish men. They're being threatened and then they're assaulted. On
a Brooklyn subway train the other night. You had two
men who might have been a father and son duo,
imagine that, yelling anti Semitic slurs, including f the Jews,
(11:24):
and they threatened to kill members of the group. This
is all caught on video on this subway. It was
after a Hanka event, so you know, and that came
just after we saw what happened in Australia. So you
understand that group of Jewish men and boys being frightened.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Yeah, scared, yeah, absolutely, But.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
This is what the Jewish people are dealing with again,
not just here in the US, but all around the world.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
And you can understand the concern absolutely well.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
His name is Astonished laf Zipko, paying quite the price
for what he says was a joke.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
No one's laughing about this one though.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
The thirty seven year old Ukrainian who lives in Nevada
reportedly missed his flight at Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport,
so he told deputies that he had a bomb. That
landed him not on the tarmac but in jail on
second degree felony of false report of a bomb. His
bond set at ten thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Yeah, an adult exactly making a bomb threat and then saying, ah,
I'm just joking. That's like a kid at this point saying,
you know, making a school shooting threat and I'm just joking,
like you know better at this point.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Can't do the whole bomb in an airplane thing? Yeah, No,
what an idiot?
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Right?
Speaker 2 (12:38):
We know that from Meet the Fokkers. How long ago
did that movie come out? Come on?
Speaker 1 (12:42):
All?
Speaker 6 (12:43):
Right?
Speaker 2 (12:43):
What else is going on?
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Natalie hot Rod crash under investigation. The driver of what
police say is a Stilem Ferrari crashed and literally knocked
out a utility poll in downtown Miami, and the Brickell
area police and FPNL Cruise rushed to the scene. Power
was not out for hours for some folks in that area.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
So the driver runs from police.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
He's caught practically unscathed from this violent high speed crash.
I mean, the Ferrari was smashed and the impact was
so strong that it literally knocked down this thick utility pole.
The police say that the car's owner pinged the location
of her vehicle that was stolen, and now charges, of course,
(13:27):
are being mounted on the driver who was eventually caught
and is now.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
This is jail.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
This is kind of like that movie Gone in Sixty
Seconds with Nicholas Cage. He was back in like early
two thousands. Yeah, yeah, except this person who stole the Ferrari.
You know in that movie they could all drive the
cars they stole, Yeah, how to drive?
Speaker 6 (13:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
This guy, I think he bit off a little more
than he could chew. Yeah, and couldn't handle the Ferrari.
Speaker 6 (13:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
And in that movie, the thieves are actually cool. In
this one not so much. That's right, so much. All right,
let's get to one more story. This one.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
This is a big one. This is something we've been
covering here on the show yep.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
The updated state license plate law that has to do
with the frames around your license plate, bringing a lot
of confusion and landing one man wrongfully in jail in Davy.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
I said, I'm arresting you because the S on your
license plate las obscure.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
The S that was fun Shine do Marquise Dawson.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
He spent the night in jail after he was pulled
over and arrested because the S on his plate, the
S in Sunshine was blocked off on his rental.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Well.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
He was eventually released and Davy police did apologize and clarified.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
So you don't need to throw out your plate frame
as long as we can still read your license plate
and see your registration.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Stick So the updated law went into effect October first.
It ups the penalty from a non criminal traffic infraction
to a second degree misdemeanor, which could mean sixty days
in jail and a five hundred dollars fine. It cannot
that frame, that decorative frame, whatever frame it tickles your
fancy that you've got on your car. It cannot block
the sticker, your registration sticker at all, and it cannot
(15:08):
block the letters or the numbers identifying your plate. If
it blocks like the Sunshine State, the Florida, the Orange,
that's okay, but it cannot block the sticker and the
actual plate identifier.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
I'm actually glad law enforcement was confused about this because
we were were too.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Yeah, and it sounds like everybody was.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Well and this poor guy, it's you said it was
a rental car, so it wasn't even his own car,
and he got yeah, not even.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
His vaults, right, and he said for it. He suffered
a panic attack, he went to the hospital. He was
released on his own recognizance. So you wonder if a
lawsuit is but yeah, there was just a lot of confusion.
So it's it's the main numbers on the license plate
and then the registration sticker.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Important.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
It seems like it's something that would have to be intentional,
like you're intentionally trying to cover up your license plate
to avoid being ticketed.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Or tracked paying tolls, right, but just covering up the
S and Sunshine State.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
And then mcguyan's up in jail. What are we going?
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Natalie Rodriguez with Today's Top Stories. Natalie, thanks so much.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
You got it all right.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Now let's bring in ACU weather meteorologists Jason Katerina for
today's forecast at Jason. Looks like another pretty perfect day
across the state. Yeah, just stunning weather for us again today.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
Things do go downhill a little bit as we headed
to tomorrow for Tampa, but South Florida just staying nicest.
We head through the day tomorrow as well, so mostly
sunny skies. High up to eighty for South Florida today.
The easterly winds still going to keep that rip current
risk up at the beach, So do be aware that
if you're headed to the beach, you're going to have
to worry about some of those rip currents, and like
we said, swim parallel to the shore. If you do
(16:48):
get pulled by one of those things, do not try
and fight it. Tonight partly cloudy skies only down to seventies,
so kind of a warm night for us. A warming
trend going to continue through Tomorrow and Friday, even with
the front trying to make its way through. Eighty three
for US tomorrow with partly sunny skies and Friday to
round out the week of mix of clouds and sun.
The high up to eighty five now Tampa today very pleasant.
(17:09):
Partly Sunday the high of seventy eight, cloudy skies tonight
down to sixty five. Now a little system gonna wick
its way through as we head into Thursday. That'll bring
a morning shower in spots and some periods of brain
and a thunderstorm in the afternoon. The high of eighty one.
Still a couple of evening showers Tomorrow night, cloudy, warm,
the lou just sixty nine. Nice day for Friday, those
that front makes its way through a little bit more refreshing.
(17:31):
Forest temperatures at seventy six for Friday, with a mix
of clouds and sunshine.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
All right, ak you Weather Meteorologist Jason Catarina and Jason,
we'll talk to you to bed.
Speaker 2 (17:40):

Once again, you're flying the plane as you're building it.
Now it seems like it's true again. Well, an argument
with a roommate escalating and ending with a Sweetwater man
arrested for smashing a vodka bottle across the guy's head.
Please say it all started when he walked in front
of his roommate's camera.
Speaker 2 (05:21):

That exactly right, That lets him more punches being thrown.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
One way to get some views.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Yeah, no payper of you here. The vic tim had
bruises all across his head consistent with the attack. He
did want to press charges, So al Matari is at
last check still locked up in the Turner Guildford Night
Correctional Center with bond set as to be set to.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Actually, I am not condoning this action in any way,
but as someone who does have to do some stuff
on camera, I can tell you that, you know, you
get a rhythm going and it's all coming out rights
and somebody interrupts that boy pisses me.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
Son does this? I'll be doing an Instagram story and
make it a reel or something, and all of a sudden.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Mommy, yeah dude, I'm recording.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yeah, some better watch out. Do you have any vodka
bottles in the house?
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Bottles? All right?
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Natalie Rodriguez with today's top stories. Natalie, thanks so much.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
You got it.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Now let's bring in accu Weather Media oologist Jason Katerina
for today's forecast. And Jason, it might be cold in
other parts of the country, but it's about as nice
as it can get here.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Oh, just beautiful, beautiful weather.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
Really. The only thing across the country you got to
rory about is that clipper system making its way across
the upper Midwest. That could bring some delays to anybody
traveling back to Chicago or out of Chicago Land area
and down the Ohio Valley as we go through later
parts of today, especially tomorrow though with quite a bit
of wind up that way, so it could be a
(07:24):
bit of a pumpy ride for anybody doing some traveling
in an airplane coming down to South Florida for the
holiday season here. So otherwise, just beautiful day for South Florida. Sunshine,
a few clouds, the high up to eighty. We still
do have to worry about rip currents out of the
beach if you are traveling to the beach again. That
continues all the way into tomorrow with that on short
(07:45):
flow with high pressure off to our north, so with
the easterly winds can be some extra surf and that
possibility for some rip currents to be cautious out at
the beach. Partly cloudy, warm nights and night just down
to seventy and then a beautiful day tomorrow, partly sunny Thursday,
the high up to eight three. The warming trend continues
right into Friday, with a mix of clowns and sun,
the high of eighty five up to Tampa. They're going
(08:06):
to get a bit of that cold front attached to
that clipper system that's making its way through the Upper Midwest.
That's going to bring some chances for showers as we
head into the day Tomorrow. Partly stunded, very pleasant today
though the high seventy eight. Cloudy tonight remaining pretty mild,
just down to sixty five. A morning shower in spots tomorrow,
so we probably want to take an umbrellas. We'll get
some periods of rain and the thunderstorm in the afternoon,
(08:28):
the high still.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Up to eighty one.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
Couple of evening showers. Then on Friday, a nicer day,
a little cooler in the wake of that frontal passage,
mits a mix of clowns that sun rather the high
of seventy six for us on Friday up in Tampa.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
All right, Akia, they're meteorologists chasing Katerina. Chason, we'll talk
to you tomorrow. Thanks so much. See you in the am.
Speaker 1 (08:46):

Speaker 2 (09:17):
So a busy hour.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Ahead right now, Let's get to today's top stories with
Natalie Ronriguez.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Good morning, Natalie, Good morning.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Natania, who not alone blaming the
Australian government for encouraging anti Semitism. Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz
is echoing his sentiment following Sunday's massacre at a popular
Sydney beach Neatanie, who had said that that Australian Prime
Minister Anthony Albanesi's policies, including the recognition of a Palestinian
(09:44):
state in September, encouraged jew hatred, and Wie Wasserman Schultz says,
quote in Australia, there has been since October seventh, especially
a massive violent rise in anti Semitic attacks against the
Jewish community. And again she's not alone. I think our
representative Spyron Donald's, Jared Moskwitch, just to name a few,
have also come out in support of Israel and the
(10:08):
abolition of anti Semitism.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
You know, we saw the antisemitic response to the October
seventh attacks in Israel's response to those attacks here in
the US, we saw them in Europe. I didn't think
any of that was all that surprising. Maybe a little
bit in terms of the size and scale and just
how in your face it was. But we knew anti
(10:31):
Semitism existed in these places Australia.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
I'm a little surprised about I didn't. I had no idea. Yeah,
so this is kind of new to me.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Of course, I wasn't really paying attention to pro Palestinian
protests in Australia. But clearly there has been an issue there.
It's been festering and now it's led to this and
going back here Stateside and the anti Semitism problem that
we're dealing with. We talked out what happened in South
(11:01):
Florida last week. You had the Jewish teacher attacked on
the street outside of Jewish day school. Now there's video
out of New York. You've got a group of young
Jewish men. They're being threatened and then they're assaulted. On
a Brooklyn subway train the other night. You had two
men who might have been a father and son duo,
imagine that, yelling anti Semitic slurs, including f the Jews,
(11:24):
and they threatened to kill members of the group. This
is all caught on video on this subway. It was
after a Hanka event, so you know, and that came
just after we saw what happened in Australia. So you
understand that group of Jewish men and boys being frightened.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Yeah, scared, yeah, absolutely, But.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
This is what the Jewish people are dealing with again,
not just here in the US, but all around the world.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
And you can understand the concern absolutely well.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
His name is Astonished laf Zipko, paying quite the price
for what he says was a joke.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
No one's laughing about this one though.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
The thirty seven year old Ukrainian who lives in Nevada
reportedly missed his flight at Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport,
so he told deputies that he had a bomb. That
landed him not on the tarmac but in jail on
second degree felony of false report of a bomb. His
bond set at ten thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Yeah, an adult exactly making a bomb threat and then saying, ah,
I'm just joking. That's like a kid at this point saying,
you know, making a school shooting threat and I'm just joking,
like you know better at this point.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Can't do the whole bomb in an airplane thing? Yeah, No,
what an idiot?
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Right?
Speaker 2 (12:38):
We know that from Meet the Fokkers. How long ago
did that movie come out? Come on?
Speaker 1 (12:42):
All?
Speaker 6 (12:43):
Right?
Speaker 2 (12:43):
What else is going on?
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Natalie hot Rod crash under investigation. The driver of what
police say is a Stilem Ferrari crashed and literally knocked
out a utility poll in downtown Miami, and the Brickell
area police and FPNL Cruise rushed to the scene. Power
was not out for hours for some folks in that area.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
So the driver runs from police.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
He's caught practically unscathed from this violent high speed crash.
I mean, the Ferrari was smashed and the impact was
so strong that it literally knocked down this thick utility pole.
The police say that the car's owner pinged the location
of her vehicle that was stolen, and now charges, of course,
(13:27):
are being mounted on the driver who was eventually caught
and is now.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
This is jail.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
This is kind of like that movie Gone in Sixty
Seconds with Nicholas Cage. He was back in like early
two thousands. Yeah, yeah, except this person who stole the Ferrari.
You know in that movie they could all drive the
cars they stole, Yeah, how to drive?
Speaker 6 (13:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
This guy, I think he bit off a little more
than he could chew. Yeah, and couldn't handle the Ferrari.
Speaker 6 (13:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
And in that movie, the thieves are actually cool. In
this one not so much. That's right, so much. All right,
let's get to one more story. This one.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
This is a big one. This is something we've been
covering here on the show yep.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
The updated state license plate law that has to do
with the frames around your license plate, bringing a lot
of confusion and landing one man wrongfully in jail in Davy.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
I said, I'm arresting you because the S on your
license plate las obscure.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
The S that was fun Shine do Marquise Dawson.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
He spent the night in jail after he was pulled
over and arrested because the S on his plate, the
S in Sunshine was blocked off on his rental.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Well.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
He was eventually released and Davy police did apologize and clarified.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
So you don't need to throw out your plate frame
as long as we can still read your license plate
and see your registration.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Stick So the updated law went into effect October first.
It ups the penalty from a non criminal traffic infraction
to a second degree misdemeanor, which could mean sixty days
in jail and a five hundred dollars fine. It cannot
that frame, that decorative frame, whatever frame it tickles your
fancy that you've got on your car. It cannot block
the sticker, your registration sticker at all, and it cannot
(15:08):
block the letters or the numbers identifying your plate. If
it blocks like the Sunshine State, the Florida, the Orange,
that's okay, but it cannot block the sticker and the
actual plate identifier.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
I'm actually glad law enforcement was confused about this because
we were were too.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Yeah, and it sounds like everybody was.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Well and this poor guy, it's you said it was
a rental car, so it wasn't even his own car,
and he got yeah, not even.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
His vaults, right, and he said for it. He suffered
a panic attack, he went to the hospital. He was
released on his own recognizance. So you wonder if a
lawsuit is but yeah, there was just a lot of confusion.
So it's it's the main numbers on the license plate
and then the registration sticker.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Important.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
It seems like it's something that would have to be intentional,
like you're intentionally trying to cover up your license plate
to avoid being ticketed.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Or tracked paying tolls, right, but just covering up the
S and Sunshine State.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
And then mcguyan's up in jail. What are we going?
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Natalie Rodriguez with Today's Top Stories. Natalie, thanks so much.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
You got it all right.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Now let's bring in ACU weather meteorologists Jason Katerina for
today's forecast at Jason. Looks like another pretty perfect day
across the state. Yeah, just stunning weather for us again today.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
Things do go downhill a little bit as we headed
to tomorrow for Tampa, but South Florida just staying nicest.
We head through the day tomorrow as well, so mostly
sunny skies. High up to eighty for South Florida today.
The easterly winds still going to keep that rip current
risk up at the beach, So do be aware that
if you're headed to the beach, you're going to have
to worry about some of those rip currents, and like
we said, swim parallel to the shore. If you do
(16:48):
get pulled by one of those things, do not try
and fight it. Tonight partly cloudy skies only down to seventies,
so kind of a warm night for us. A warming
trend going to continue through Tomorrow and Friday, even with
the front trying to make its way through. Eighty three
for US tomorrow with partly sunny skies and Friday to
round out the week of mix of clouds and sun.
The high up to eighty five now Tampa today very pleasant.
