Married former Monroe County FL deputy, Lamar Roman, worked security on a TV series (Bad Monkey) that was filmed in the Florida Keys.
He took a fancy to one of the women in the show and used Flock/ALPR cameras & their AI database to locate her address and her vehicle as she was going down the road. If you go to the county's website (separate video) you can see the dash cam footage of him passing two vehicles in a double yellow at 70+ MPH to speed up and pull her over. One of the vehicles had to swerve off the road (seriously...) to avoid his cop car when he was speeding up to pull her over.
He then pulled her over with no legal pretext. Bodycam footage then shows him saying "I told you I'd find you" and laughing during the illegal stop.
He THEN added her vehicle to a "hot list" in the database that would alert him every time her car passed a privately owned surveillance camera in his county.
After being arrested his criminal case was moved to a "diversionary" program where his charges will be dropped when/if he a completes court mandated program.
He will never spend a day in prison for criminally stalking her nor for the BLATANT violation of her 4th & 14th Amendment rights.
I hope she sues the county and bankrupts them for ever deciding to infringe on the county citizens rights like this. This was a conscious decision made by county leadership that was 100% predictable at the time.

To anyone considering helping President Trump interfere with our election or our count:
You will be prosecuted.
That’s why I’m moving forward with new legislation that would make it a FELONY to seize ballots before the vote has been certified by state and county officials.
NY Times investigative reporter Eric Lipton breaks down a recent report from a cryptocurrency analytics firm showing that majority of investors in President Trump's memecoin lost a total of $3.8 billion while the president profited more than $600 million on the same bet.
Settler terrorists injured several Palestinians, including children, in Hawara, the West Bank. Since 2023, IDF-backed terror became a daily occurrence. But it's been happening for decades. This soldier testimony is also from Hawara—in the 2000s.🧵
Holy sh*t, EVERY LAST WORD that Michael Steele said here! 🔥 🔥
He blasted trump and Republicans for trying to sell Americans a bunch of bullshit on Communism.
"Who's buddy-buddy with all the big name Communists in the world? Donald trump."
BREAKING: Trump says Greenland “should be controlled by the United States, not by Denmark,” before warning Europe: “We could remove all our soldiers out of Europe. They better be careful.”
Trump is a threat to the free world.
Rahm Emanuel's 🔥🧨speech at Tel Aviv University tomorrow. "The prime minister and his government have led Israel into a dead end....Unconditional American support has allowed you to deny food and medical relief to innocent Palestinians suffering in Gaza, leaving the world to conclude that Israelis are not only willing to kill the Palestinians but are completely indifferent to their death, destruction and suffering ....You cannot indefinitely fight the world that has stopped believing you have the right to fight....Your government is complicit in the horrors now being inflicted on innocent families in the West Bank...If I have anything to say about it, every Israeli attacking Palestinian civilians or their property will be sanctioned......The tragedy is that Netanyahu's government has helped Hamas achieve its objective [to kill the 2-state solution]."
Peter Thiel, the billionaire founder of Palantir, called Pope Leo “a Chinese communist agent” for writing that AI must be used to “truly benefit the common good, and is not just used to accumulate wealth and power in the hands of a few.”
Who do you trust? Pope Leo or Mr. Thiel?
An AP-NORC poll finds that support for Israel has fallen sharply among Democrats, while younger Republicans are less supportive than their older counterparts. The survey also finds most Jewish adults disapprove of Netanyahu, while about 3 in 10 say Israel has committed genocide in Gaza, an accusation Israel vehemently denies. https://t.co/P9oQnIHGD1
The moral alteration in an unthinkable expanse of people who call this place home has been stunning in its velocity and stomach-turning in its depths. The worst part is that we can’t reach them in the ways reasonable human beings can be reached.
Before Fox News, we could meet the people around us on the common ground of our shared faith in Jesus, our respect for the Constitution, the clarity of objective truth, or shared compassion for vulnerable people. Now, they no longer have use or tolerance for such things.
Those of us who’ve lost people we love to this curated pestilence should file a class-action suit against Fox News for thirty years of malpractice and murder: for the relationships they’ve destroyed, the deaths they’ve been complicit in, the betrayal of the public trust, and for purposefully killing the goodness in human beings who will never be who they might have been otherwise.

Release it. Release it all. Stop fucking around and release this shit already. The fuck is wrong with anyone holding on to this stuff and NOT releasing it??
Worth watching this chilling account from Amb. Samantha Power about Elon Musk & Trump ignoring evidence in plain sight that destroying USAID would lead to deaths around the world: “There was no regard for human lives at stake.”
Two interesting things in the preview of Rahm speech on Israel. 1) there will be no space to the right of Rahm on Israel in the Dem Presidential Primary. Ending aid sanctioning banks and businesses building settlements will all be the centrist position for Dems on Israel. It’s muscular liberal Zionism or nothing. 2) by adopting the “23 state solution” Rahm is adopting the Jstreet line on the way forward. https://t.co/caPjZLaOt5
An Israeli minister just confirmed the best-kept secret of this war, and then said one thing that changes everything. During the fighting, Israeli soldiers stood on Arab soil, crewing an Iron Dome battery, shooting down Iranian missiles aimed at an Arab monarchy. Asked directly if Israel sent the UAE its shield, Minister Miri Regev answered, "That's right." Then she added five words. "The Emirates are helping us."
Weigh what that buries. For almost 75 years the Middle East ran on one fault line, Arab against Israeli. The Iron Dome was built to stop rockets fired at Israel by Arab militias.
Iron Dome's first actual operational deployment outside Israel or America, ever, was in defense of an Arab capital.
And Israel's own minister just described it not as a rescue, but as a solid "partnership". The Emirates are helping us. Present tense. Both directions. Listen carefully!!
The scale explains the need. Iran fired some 550 ballistic and cruise missiles and more than 2,200 drones at the UAE, by its own defense ministry's count the most targeted country in the region, more than Israel itself.
Abu Dhabi of course needed a "shield". The only proven solid one that worked battle-tested flew in from Jerusalem, crewed by Israeli soldiers on Emirati ground while the missiles fell.
And Israel chose when to say it. The UAE has never confirmed a word of this. It flies with the Blue Angels in public and stays silent on the Israeli battery in its desert.
Israel held the secret while it was tactical and revealed it during Khamenei's funeral week, the moment it became a message.
Which answers the question over Tehran. Why did no Gulf king stand at Khamenei's coffin? Because when his missiles came for the Gulf, the hands that stopped them were Israeli.
The 75-year war ended quietly, on a radar screen over Abu Dhabi.
The Patriot Front's usage of masks to shield their identities in DC on July 4 served dual purposes, per former DC police offer Michael Fanone
1) It adds to the impact of menacing
2) It shields the Front members from being identified and fired from their jobs
💥#Breaking: Every living former Chief Justice of Israel has signed a scathing declaration stating that "non-compliance with Court rulings is the final nail in the coffin of democracy."
"This move completely disrupts the proper order of government and justice in the state. It leads to anarchy and the concentration of all governmental powers in the hands of a single body and will not permit the proper course of life. In order to prevent this destructive outcome, the government should state the obvious- that court rulings must be upheld." https://t.co/fKdLCJue1x
Cariol Horne stopped a fellow cop from choking a handcuffed Black man in 2006. Buffalo PD fired her for it in 2008 just one year before her pension.
She fought for 14 years. In 2021, a judge restored her pension and Buffalo passed “Cariol’s Law,” requiring officers to intervene against excessive force.
Real hero who paid the price but never gave up. Legend. 👏🏾
🚨BREAKING: Sen. Ted Cruz just thanked Trump for intervening with FIFA to overturn Folarin Balogun’s red card.
Political interference is a violation of FIFA’s statutes and carries serious consequences including permanent EXPULSION from FIFA competitions.
