Florida residents warned of “Booty Patrol” posing as fake cops

A crisis is occurring in Florida over the Booty Patrol. On Monday, the DeSoto County Sheriff’s Office posted an announcement to their Facebook page claiming that a vehicle had been “impersonating law enforcement” in several counties across the state. The person in question is riding around in a truck marked Booty Patrol.

The Sheriffs office wrote, “If you or anyone you know has been pulled over by this suspicious vehicle or has any information related to these incidents, please do not hesitate to reach out to the DeSoto County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigative Division, at 863-993-4700.”

Residents, however, are pushing back. They are saying that there’s nothing about this truck that is impersonating a police officer. One comment read, “He’s friends with my neighbor, so I see him at least once a week. I think it’s cool and funny.”
