Cradle Catholic. Active in the pro-life movement since 1973. Father of three, one in Heaven, and happily married for 41 years. Small town lawyer and amateur historian. Former president of the board of directors of the local crisis pregnancy center for a decade.
My paternal grandfather lived to be 98 (he survived my dad by almost six years) and was still driving in his mid nineties. If he told a judge he didn’t drive that fast he would have lying through his teeth because he drove like a bat out of hell. The old man’s son is 63. That how old my dad was when he died in 1992.

They are both what America is all about. And, it has nothing to do with the color of their skin, just the content of their character. God bless them both!

This has been doing the rounds on SM. Good Judge with a heart. You just wanna hug that man he is beautiful.
And I’ll put five bucks that the judge’s son is there to setup driving the old man’s son for his blood work.

OK, let me be the dissenting voice. What I’m seeing here are a lot of emotional reactions. I get it … really. The old guy seems sincere. But living in Florida, the retirement capital of the world, let me tell you … I don’t want 90-year-old people speeding through school zones! How much time did he save? A minute?!? If he can’t see the school zone sign, how’s he gonna see the first graders crossing the street??
Remember one of the dumbest Rubio scandals in 2016? Traffic tickets?
Florida is notorious for zero tolerance in school zones (if you are braking from 40 to 15 but are still at 20 when you are next to the sign, you are speeding), and having variable speeds depending on if school is in or not– but having no indication of if school is in, or not.
Which is why there is a booming industry in exactly what Mr. Rubio bought for his wife, a lawyer on call who goes in to contest traffic tickets, and almost always win.

Yeah … if the cop doesn’t show up in court, you win. Cops don’t enjoy writing tickets for 90 year olds … but they will if the offense is egregious. You go on about if you are braking from 40 to 15 but are still at 20 when you are next to the sign but that wasn’t in the video, and it’s not as prevalent as you suggest. Driving the speed limit on the way to chemo and not putting the lives of children at risk isn’t that hard … trust me.
CAG-
Similarly, your theory that it must have been “egregious” is not supported by the video.
Not even your assumption that the man was putting children’s lives at risk is in the video.
What is in the video is the judge in question with the citation and associated write-up, chatting with the elderly man in a friendly way before dismissing the ticket.
