Drivers playing loud music will be ticketed under new Florida law
TAMPA, Fla. — Turn it down or get a ticket. Florida drivers will soon receive a citation for loud music.
Jon Lackey has been installing car stereos for nearly 25 years. He said people pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to get the bass bumping in their vehicles.
“There are different shows that people put on weekly. We call it parking lot blasters. They want to open up their doors, open up their back hatch,” said owner of Blvd Customs Jon Lackey.
Pretty soon Florida drivers won’t be allowed to crank up their car stereos. Starting July 1, police will begin enforcing the re-enacted Florida statute that prohibits playing loud music within vehicles.
The law states that sound produced by a radio, tape player, or other mechanical sound-making devices or instruments from within the motor vehicle, that is “plainly audible” at a distance of 25 feet or more. Police said it’s not only a nuisance but can be dangerous.
“It can be a safety hazard if you are the operator of that vehicle, and you have that radio up so loud where you can't hear what’s going on outside of the vehicle," said Capt. William Stevens with the Bartow Police Department. "You have other sirens and emergency vehicles that come up behind you and you’re not even aware of it.”
Stevens said blasting your music could cost you a $114 fine. Lackey is not opposed to the loud music statute.
“It helps clean up the sound, so to speak. Nobody wants to be blasting their loud music at the red light,” Lackey said.
Some drivers think the statute it’s an overreach.
“After pouring so much money into my system personally, it’s kind of like I just wasted all that money, because now I can’t enjoy it like I want to. But at the same time, am I going to abide by it completely? No,” said Hayden Johnson.
Police said they will focus on educating the public before issuing citations.

1. Jeff Conine (1993-1997; 2003-2005)
Best Season as a Marlin: 1996 - .293/.360/.484 with 26 home runs, 95 RBIs, 62 walks, .844 OPS, 124 OPS+ and a 4.4 fWAR
Career Stats as a Marlin: .290/.358/.455 with 120 home runs, 553 RBIs, 376 walks, 1,005 hits, .813 OPS, 114 OPS+ and 16.1 fWAR
It would be hard to put together a list of the greatest Marlins players ever and not include the man dubbed "Mr. Marlin." A member of both the 1997 and 2003 World Series Championship teams, Conine is one of the few constants during the Marlins' brief history. He finished third in National League Rookie of the Year voting in 1993, the first season that the Marlins existed. He followed that up by making All-Star Game appearances in 1994 and 1995. Conine's 553 RBIs as a Marlin are third in franchise history.
Best Season as a Marlin: 1996 - .314/.465/.624 with 42 home runs, 120 RBIs, 142 walks, 1.090 OPS, 189 OPS+ and a 6.5 fWAR
Career Stats as a Marlin: .288/.426/.543 with 122 home runs, 380 RBIs, 424 walks, 538 hits, .970 OPS, 156 OPS+ and 15.3 fWAR
Sheffield's numbers are Hall of Fame worthy, though connections to performance-enhancing drugs have kept him out of the Hall of Fame to this point. On paper, though, the production that Sheffield put up was incredible, and the parts of six years that he spent in Miami actually represent the largest chunk of his 22-season career spent with any one team. 1996 was the only time that Sheffield played more than 140 games in a season with the Marlins, and he led the National League in on-base percentage (.465), OPS (1.090) and OPS+ (189) that season. A year later, Sheffield hit .320 with seven home runs and 20 RBIs in the playoffs, helping the Marlins to capture their first World Series title.
Best Season as a Marlin: 2016 - 16-8 with a 2.86 ERA, 137 ERA+, 2.30 FIP, 1.119 WHIP, 253 strikeouts, zero complete games and a 6.3 fWAR
Career Stats as a Marlin: 38-17 with a 2.58 ERA, 150 ERA+, 2.44 FIP, 1.054 WHIP, 589 strikeouts, zero complete games and 14.5 fWAR
A first-round pick in the 2011 MLB Draft, Fernández is probably the most gifted arm to ever pitch for the Marlins. He posted a 2.19 ERA and 2.73 FIP in 2013, winning the National League Rookie of the Year Award and finishing third in NL Cy Young voting at the age of 20. Among qualified starting pitchers, Fernández's 2.58 ERA between 2013 and 2016 is second only to future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw. Fernández's tragic death in September of 2016 at the age of 24 was one of the most difficult moments the sport has had to deal with over the last decade.
Best Season as a Marlin: 2005 - 22-10 with a 2.63 ERA, 152 ERA+, 2.99 FIP, 1.134 WHIP, 170 strikeouts, seven complete games and a 6.5 fWAR
Career Stats as a Marlin: 68-54 with a 3.78 ERA, 111 ERA+, 3.98 FIP, 1.359 WHIP, 757 strikeouts, 15 complete games and 16.9 fWAR
With one of the most unique windups in MLB history, "The D-Train" was a fan favorite in Miami and beyond during the five seasons that he spent with the Marlins. Willis broke into the league in 2003, and won the National League Rookie of the Year Award and was an All-Star in a season where he'd also help the Marlins to capture a World Series title. Two seasons later, Willis led the National League in wins (22), complete games (seven), complete-game shutouts (five) and HR/9 (0.4), finishing second to Chris Carpenter in NL Cy Young Award voting. Willis' star didn't burn for a long time, but he sure was fun to watch at the height of his powers.
Best Season as a Marlin: 2003 - .314/.381/.397 with six home runs, 39 RBIs, 63 walks, .778 OPS, 106 OPS+ and a 4.9 fWAR
Career Stats as a Marlin: .293/.370/.356 with 20 home runs, 271 RBIs, 533 walks, 1,273 hits, .726 OPS, 94 OPS+ and 21.0 fWAR
In 10 seasons with the Fish, Castillo made three All-Star teams and won three Gold Glove Awards. He also led the National League in stolen bases in both 2000 and 2002, and is the franchise's all-time leader with 281 stolen bases. Castillo's 35-game hitting streak in 2002 is the longest in Marlins history.

It’s back – and more colorful and even louder than ever: The grand return of the Ultra Music Festival in downtown Miami.
People from all over the region, and likely the country, expressed their excitement Friday.
“The Miami vibe – I expect something special,” one attendee said. “Everybody is here from so many places in this world, and (we’re) all here to experience one thing: music.”
The COVID-19 pandemic canceled the event the last two years. The fest was moved to Key Biscayne the year before that.
But now? It’s back to downtown Miami, where it all started.
With all the excitement comes the big crowd and a big responsibility for first-responders.
“We have Narcan, we got IV fluids – we have anything that may be needed, whether it’s a diabetic emergency or cardiac emergency,” Lt. Pete Sanchez said.
Miami Fire Rescue units were on standby.
Officials said that a total of 64 people were evaluated by rescue workers and 14 were transported to the hospital with with varying issues, but none that were life threatening.
Police said there were four arrests made on Friday, all for possession of narcotics.
One-hundred firefighters a day will be spread throughout the event, and Miami Police were set to handle crowd control, road closures and any other issues that arise.
UFC fighter Luis Pena arrested in Deerfield Beach
According to records, the 28-year-old is facing felony charges of domestic violence and battery.
This is the second time this year that Pena was arrested in South Florida.
He made an appearance in bond court on Sunday morning and was ordered to stay away from the victim.
Pena was also arrested five months ago in Coral Springs on charges of robbery and battery.
NEW YORK – Hollywood closed out 2021 with more fireworks at the box office for “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” which topped all films for the third straight week and already charts among the highest grossing films ever. But even with all the champagne popping for “No Way Home,” the film industry heads into 2022 with plenty of reason for both optimism and concern after a year that saw overall ticket revenue double that of 2020, but still well off the pre-pandemic pace.
Movie theaters began the year mostly shuttered but ended it with a monster smash. Sony Pictures' Marvel sequel “No Way Home” grossed an estimated $52.7 million over the weekend to bring its three-week total to $609.9 million. That ranks 10th all-time in North America. Worldwide, it's made $1.37 billion, a total that puts it above “Black Panther” and makes it the 12th highest grossing film globally.
POMPANO BEACH, Fla. – Rapper Kodak Black, whose real name is Bill Kapri, was arrested early Saturday morning in Pompano Beach, the Broward Sheriff’s Office confirmed.
According to authorities, Black was taken into custody just before 1:30 a.m. near the 1600 block of Northwest 10th Drive.
Further details about the circumstances surrounding the accusations against him were not immediately released.
Black previously had a three-year federal prison sentence for falsifying documents used to buy weapons at a Miami gun store commuted by President Donald Trump on his last day in office. He had served about half his sentence.
In April 2021, Black was sentenced to probation for assaulting a teenage girl in a South Carolina hotel room.
He was originally charged with rape, but accepted a deal and pleaded guilty to first-degree assault at the Florence County courthouse.

Report: 1 NFL Team Was ‘Scared Off’ Of Deshaun Watson
The Panthers and the Dolphins have been the two teams mentioned the most for the Houston Texans star quarterback.
However, according to a report from ESPN, the Panthers have backed off their pursuit of the former Clemson Tigers quarterback.
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that the Panthers were “scared off” their pursuit of the Pro Bowl quarterback
Watson is facing 22 lawsuits alleging sexual assault and inappropriate behavior and has not played a down for the Texans this season. He has a no-trade clause in his contract, which he’s willing to waive for the Dolphins.
The Panthers, who explored a potential Watson deal dating back to the offseason, got indications that Watson would be interested in playing for them but hadn’t received that commitment in writing — a customary step for a no-trade clause — as of this week.
The Panthers have major uncertainty at the quarterback position, as Sam Darnold has been inconsistent at-best this season. However, it doesn’t sound like they will be pursuing Watson moving forward.
The NFL’s trade deadline is set for 4 p.m. E.T. on Tuesday
Sudan protests: Massive crowds demonstrate against military takeover!
"No for military rule, yes for civilian rule," protesters shouted in videos posted to social media.
At least three people were shot dead by the military, according to the Central Committee of Sudan Doctors (CCSD), which is aligned with the civil component of the now-dissolved Sovereign Council.
One person had been shot in the head and another shot in the stomach, the CCSD said in a post to Twitter.
The CCSD also said at least 100 others were wounded during the protests when the military fired live bullets and used tear gas at demonstrators in several areas across the country to disperse the crowds.
The nationwide protests were called by the activist coalition Sudanese Professional Association (SPA), who were instrumental in organizing the 2019 Sudan uprising that led to the toppling of President Omar al-Bashir's three decade rule.
The SPA is demanding the restoration of the country's transitional civilian government and is calling on protesters to join a "million-man march" against the military takeover.
Newcastle struggling to convince Ajax boss Erik ten Hag to take job - report
Newcastle face an uphill battle to convince Ajax manager Erik ten Hag to take charge at St James' Park, according to reports.
The club was taken over by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund earlier this month.
Steve Bruce was relieved of his duties following his 1000th game in management, a 3-2 defeat by Tottenham.
Graeme Jones is currently in interim charge of the Magpies while the board looks for a permanent successor to Bruce.
And the pressure is beginning to build after Newcastle's winless run at the start of the season was extended to 10 games with a 3-0 loss to Chelsea on Saturday.
The club with the wealthiest owners in world football currently sits second-bottom of the Premier League table.
The search for a new manager is also proving difficult, with the Sunday Mirror reporting that Ten Hag is unlikely to take the job.
The new owners are said to be planning a charm offensive to try and lure the Dutchman away from Ajax.
They also want to appoint Marc Overmars, the Eredivisie side's direct of football, in a similar role at St James' Park.
But it would take a massive effort for Newcastle to successfully persuade Ten Hag to leave Ajax for the Magpies.
In his current position the 51-year-old is competing for silverware and leading a talented team in the Champions League.
He is settled in Amsterdam and is now into his fifth season at the Johan Cruyff Arena.
Newcastle would be able to offer Ten Hag a huge pay rise, thought to be five times more than the £2m he currently pockets per year.
But Ten Hag is not enticed by the prospect of taking over at a club battling relegation from the Premier League.
He is also on Barcelona's shortlist as they seek a replacement for Ronald Koeman, while Ten Hag's name has also been put forward as a possible candidate for Manchester United.
It is hard to see him swapping all that for a dogfight with Newcastle.
