The fact that you take time out of your day to act over and above, keeping up with the concerns of our community says a lot about you and how you must feel about Okeechobee. Your concern and participation is greatly appreciated.

Good morning,
The larger 4 door trucks have been around for some time BUT are very common now. However they used to be on construction sites and were crew carriers - not usually angle parked on streets...
Common sense says not to block the lanes of traffic. But so far I have found Forida State Staute (FSS) in reference to this specific problem you mentioned... HOWEVER, I checked with a couple of our traffic units and again they knew of nothing... In my own research I found FSS# 316.2045: Obstruction of public streets... This refers to pedestrians, not vehicles... Either way it's NOT THE PRUDENT OR PROPER OR SAFE THING TO DO even "IF" it is legal. Sometimes we just have to do the right and safe thing, even if that means we walk a little further... Bill

| Mine is an extended cab Z-71 short 6' bed tow package for my 21-6 Key West. Without the boat I'm close to sticking out. With the boat I'm about 45'.... Parking is tricky either way and I walk a lot also. bs (my initials)

I am off the next 3 days but will work on that. I have been asked before and to my limited "traffic" law knowledge, there may or may not be a law that covers these newer longer trucks. However I am not sure so I will look into it over the next week and let y'all know. Bill Saum

 Good Morning Okeechobee
It's been quiet lately and as school started, crime slowed a little. This has been a nice small break in the never ending list of crimes. BY THE WAY, AS SCHOOL STARTED I DID NOT HEAR OF ANY ACCIDENTS WHERE KIDS GOT HURT BY PEOPLE NOT PAYING ATTENTION. THANKS FOR BEING CAREFUL.
PLEASE do not become lax. Lock your cars or that laptop on the seat WILL disappear. Lock you sheds or your tools WILL grow feet and walk. Lock you homes or someone else is going to be watching your TV. Keep your eyes open and stand up a a citizen. We must have witnesses to be able to do this job effectively.
The Police Department is 863-763-5521 and the Sheriff's Dept is 863-763-3117. Ask for the Detective Bureaus. At the PD you are welcome to ask for me, Detective Bill Saum. Have a great day.

Sounds like your travels were wonderful. My wife and I did just that about 10 or so years ago all over Tennessee, Alabama and North Florida.
The yanks ARE coming, and that's a fact. Wow, that was around 10 days ago. AND that was just a friendly reminder for all of us to be careful. Do you disagree with being careful? Of course not. I'm very glad you are on this blog.
I try to keep this blog a safe place to air feeling, fears, give advice and approvals. Yah, you will hear some complaining, even wining and disapprovals. You are welcome to do so and you have. Thank you. By the way, just got home from Wal...... (oops) Home Depot. Cieling fan broke. Detective Bill Saum

By the way, isn't there more stores than Wallies? cause that is all that is posted here, ad they don't have 1/3 of what I need or want.
Lots of free avertising for them is what I see here.

We just returned from traveling to the mountains, always wandering around, 1/2 the time lost , or driving very slowly to find the correct road. ate any where we pleased, drove around before school time, went to many yard sales, and events. Not one person looked at us in disgust for not knowing where we were going or driving too slow. So, what is with the very crumby attitude from all of these posts?
If no one comes here to visit, spend $$, fill up the Koa, spend more $$- while getting screened in porches, ordering cakes, banquet foods, party supplies, then it will be our own fault. I love to see them here.

Good morning to all,
How goes it with putting up our cell phones... Being on call 24/7/365 for major crime scenes I am not allowed to turn my cell phone off... HOWEVER: For the last three weeks I have either let it go to voice mail or pulled off the road to answer my calls... I beleive it is much safer that way and I have had no issues in maybe 30 or so calls... Bill

I heard about the federal ban consideration. Personally I think we have way more than enough things to do while driving. Just in driving the vehicle and staying in between our lines. We also have stop signs, stop lights, watching for emergency vehicles and watching out for each others. We are driving with 2000 to 5000 pound death machines and we get a false sense of security. My personal vehicle is 5000+ pounds.
Now add the computer, a directional GPS that you both look at and listen to AND THEN a cell phone. Thanks to all of you for passing on these concerns... Detective Bill Saum

| On the news last night they said a federal ban on texting while driving is under consideration. It would also prohibit using a computer keyboard while driving -- which they said some truck drivers do. The segment on the news linked the texting and distraction of the computers and other electronics to an increase in accidents involving the big rigs.

NEED is a strong word that I wonder about because you did not tell us your reason for NEEDING THE PHONE WHILE YOU DRIVE. I'm sure you have weighed the options and I like what you have come up with by using the bluetooth... Good thinking...
Me? I am our crime scene man and I get calls from all sorts of people who are scared and often only call me. I often do not have their number. I make it a habit that if I am going to answer, I pull over...

| It is not just the dialing, and handling of the phone that makes it dangerous. It is the conversation that is distracting to most. So hands free, and bluetooth is not the answer. Like Bill said, wait till you are done driving and check your messages. I'd also bet there will be nothing on there that was worth putting your's, mine, or my kids lifes at risk.

Nanny Wilson ;-) ------ Our agreement is obvious. I have 10 months until my retirement date... I will most likely stay longer.... HOWEVER my hope is that I will not be soooooo cellularly hooked that I will not be able to completely get rid of my cells. I intend to go back to only a landline with an answering machine. Reckon either will even exist in 7 or so years??? No cell phone..... what a glorious thought....
I challenge anyone to reading this to set asside their cell phone by shutting it off everytime you get in your vehicle. Turne it back on when you stop and get out. Listen to your messages and see if anything was sooooooooooooo important that it deserved putting your life (and others) at risk... Detective Bill Saum

| yes bill patience does seem to be a thing of the past as i find i have more now then i did in my younger years and the talking on the cell phone or texting while driving should be out lawed so very dangerous . i cannot tell ya how many times i have seen some one run a stop sign or red light as they were on the phone and not payig attention i do not know what is so im[portant that cannot wait until you get to your destination before you call some one . also when your in the grocery store omg the phones beeping and women or men saying honey what ya want for supper ? or they do not have what you wanted . in the old days we went to the store got what we wanted for supper and then if they did not have what we went for then either go to another store or make do with some thing else have we lost the ability to think for our selves ? and 9 times out of 10 the conversations are not that important that they cannot wait till we get home or to the office . i have a cell phone and my kids know not to call if iam driving or ina store if they do i tell them i will call ya back un less it is an emergency then that is different i think they are good for that purpose but talking while driving or texting is so very dangerous and has cost alot of people thier lives the thing that broke me from talking on the phone while driving was one time i was driving and talking then i realized i was almost to my house and did nto know how i got there do not remember the drive home . that is scary to me so please everyone be careful out there and please have patience and you bring up a good point bill never thought of my husband trying to find a good spot to park so no one would bang up our car with buggys or thier car door . lol so i will have patience with him when in a parking lot next time lol have a great weekend

A couple key words I saw here:
Patience: This is almost a thing of the past... Part because of the fast paced world we live in and part by choice... It seems that with the advent of the computer, EVERYTHING speeded up... Even the personal computer's name was shortened to .......... PC... Wow, we had to hurry-up to say 2 word... Why??? IF we slow our cars down, we have time to see the child or another vehicle darting out, a beautiful bird in someone's yard or just time to listen to a song on the radio... NO - IT DOES NOT GIVE US MORE TIME TO TALK ON THE PHONE - WE ARE DRIVING A 1500 POUND POTENTIAL DEATH MACHINE... Mine weighs 5,200 pounds and I need time to stop that truck... NO TALKING ON PHONES, PUTTING ON WAR PAINT, NEWSPAPER READING, ETC... WE ARE DRIVING, EYES ON THE ROAD...
Picky: Being picky, though I do drive my Gail nuts, is not always bad... I do not park my 1 year old NEW TO ME truck beside clunkers with dents all over them... Their vehicles make it look like that person might not care what happens to my vehicle... So far this has worked, no dings...
Y'all have a great day and be very very careful..... Bill Saum

Hurricane season is already here. Anyone know what is missing? Yah, hurricanes. Great year so far. Please do not get complacent. No need to panic but each year START getting ready early. Remember we are all smart people and can get a couple things a week and store them. An extra case of water this week, hurricane candles next week. Are you ready?????
Also: Guess what??? "The other season" when our northern friends show up is almost here. Now is when you and I have a choice. We can choose to get all tensed up and pi_ _ed off before they even arrive.
Or we can choose to use a little common sense and think. We already KNOW they ARE going to drive way too slow. They ARE going to get in our way. At 51 years old I already drive slower. This to shall happen to you. I find myself wondering why everyone else is in such a hurry. I actually enjoy all the stuff I was missing when I was in such a hurry. What do you think??????

Reason i vent about cops breaking trafic laws ,is once my wife got a ticket at like 3am ,driving to work to mcdolands. was no traffic at 3am. nor did she realy RUN the stop sign. everybody understand what a rolling stop is. So for a cop to give her a ticket cause she over bound the word of the law was painful for us. since then we watch cops do it daily and get upset. we think HEY GIVE HIM A TICKET TOO..
Then the McDonald bit was the same. she goes to work the same day and orders the crew." NO cops get free food today". The main manager over rider this order and does it anyways.
thanks for answering.
You are very welcomed... You are correct that we all understand what a rolling stop is. It is NOT STOPPING... I am very glad I was able to assist you and your wife. I personally do not eat at McD's anymore because of their free food for cops policy...

This corner there is always sheriffs who nearly every day have up to 3 car pulled over. Yet the school buses speed as they leave the schools. i know this cause i go like 13 mph, and they are double my speed. yet the cops ignore them. wrong don't you think? The location you are talking about is in the county and is a Sheriff's Department issue (763-3117). Maybe you could ask them to have a traffic unit run radar on all vehicles incuding the buses... Then they can take care of the problem if there is one... You can also complain to the bus garage...
while on topic, why can a cop write ticket for things like not completely stopping?
yet i see cop run stop signs at FULL Speed themselves. not like there flashing lights and racing to get to some crime. Also, too often i see cops speeding in 25 mph back roads. Why can they get away with this? I think Cop shuold set example how to drive inside the law. NOt be lazy or in a rush and break eveery law cause no cop will write a cop a ticket. Why do our cop Accept free foods from MacDonald s ? our state law says cops can Not accept any gratuity . and getting free food and free what ever again is breaking the law and should not be.
so why do cops do this? not like im refering to a few bad eggs, they all do it
I am truely sorry for your lack of belief or trust in all Law Enforcement Officers. Do we speed? Do we always use our emergency lights and/or siren? We do go through a lot of training teaching us to safely drive faster than normal. At the Police Department Chief Davis has an open dor policy for his officers and the public. Our "marked" patrol cars have our officer's names on them and a car number... You will need to at least have the car number. Call Road Patrol Supervisor Lieutenant Hagan Tuesday thru Friday at 763-5521. If he is not there leave a voice mial and he will call you back... Major Bob Peterson is second in command over the department and of course Chief Davis is the big Boss over all of us... Be safe out there and thank you for the heads us... By the way, I do not accept gratuities... When they are offered I leave the money on the counter... I have no idea what the clerks do with it...
because they can, who is going to stop them, they don't have to obey the law they are the law Wow!!! This was a rather harsh answer to an honest question... We have a job to do and we will do that job to the best of our ability. My badge does NOT give me free reign to do as I please. The laws apply to me also. If you have a complaint against any of our officers call 763-5521 and file a complaint as noted above. Bill Saum

while on topic, why can a cop write ticket for things like not completely stopping?
yet i see cop run stop signs at FULL Speed themselves. not like there flashing lights and racing to get to some crime. Also, too often i see cops speeding in 25 mph back roads. Why can they get away with this? I think Cop shuold set example how to drive inside the law. NOt be lazy or in a rush and break eveery law cause no cop will write a cop a ticket. Why do our cop Accept free foods from MacDonald s ? our state law says cops can Not accept any gratuity . and getting free food and free what ever again is breaking the law and should not be.
so why do cops do this? not like im refering to a few bad eggs, they all do t

I know everyone is being careful because school is in... Go in a room where you have carpeting... Walk around on your knees to remind youselves just how small the kids are... This will show you what they cannot see... It's up to us to look for them... Slow down and watch...
Here's a challenge: So we watch a little closer - - - for one month we're all going to not talk on our cell phone as we drive... My voice mail will take the message and I'll get to them WHEN IT IS SAFE TO TALK ON THE PHONE....
Y'all be carefull out there... Bill Saum

Bill on another thread, we have been discussing the proposal to have a curfew for those age 17 and younger. Apparenlty some community members plan to take this to the county commission. As a law enforcement officer, what is your opinion on such curfews? Are they a tool that helps you control crime? If you think curfews could help reduce crime, would you suggest curfews be targeted by neighborhood (at the request of the residents) or city or countywide?
I am completely for curfews. City and County wide. Crime would certainly be lower. Good job folks... Make things happen... Bill Saum

School is in..................................... LOOK AROUND!!! Be careful!!! They are mostly very very small...
They will be walking - running - riding very small bicycles - and running after their overthrown baseballs, kickballs and footballs... Pass this on to all your friends...

Many neighborhoods are having thefts or burglaries... If you live in a neighborhood, it has most likely had a burglary recently. I wish I could give you a better answer than this but I cannot... At least I can warn you...
Law enforcement is doing all it can... Look at the arrests and know that we are constantly incarcerating them and they are constantly bonding out, ROR-ed or have served their time and are back on the street...
Thieves are lazy so they steal... If I make it easy for them - shame on me...
Keep you property locked up... Out of sight... And light up the area... Keep your eyes open.... call someone
Police @ 763-5521 Det Bill Saum
Sheriff @ 763-3117 Det Ted VanDeman
Thanks for your help, Det Saum

A 10-28 is a license plate / veh registration... A S-13 is a suspicious person or vehicle... Many neighborhoods are having thefts or burglaries...
Keep you property locked up... Out of sight... And light up the area... Keep your eyes open....
Thanks, Det Saum
