Quote: It sure is but what can law enforcement do?
Well, the law says they *can* arrest him and then the children could be put into protective custody. They usually don't, but the law says if it is evacuation from a MANDETORY evacuation area, the cop *can* arrest the person violating the law. No, I'm not a lawyer, but the local sheriff was on TV last night talking about just that subject when asked by a reporter after hearing the evacuation areas. Question: I keep hearing that the nebulous 'someone' is now forecasting landfall as far south as Venice? That would imply they expect the track to go East of Tampa, perhaps even East of Lakeland as it moves NNE? I haven't seen anything official anywhere, Do you know who the 'someone' is? The answer to 'is it true?' would certainly change my plans here in Orlando from "I've packed the car with my valuables" to "Drive the car to your friend who lives in a sturdy home rather than my mobile home".
