Bob Hezzelwood said he has been visiting Bonita Beach for years and no one has bothered or complained about his bathing suit.

However, recently, a Lee County sheriff's deputy gave Hezzelwood a ticket for trespass and told him not to return to the beach.

A judge tossed out the case.

However, Hezzelwood said he plans to sue the sheriff's department, saying his civil rights were violated.

"I'm a civilian out here who’s been picked on by a little bully deputy and that’s wrong. It’s just wrong."

Thank you for the lack of pictures. :)

It should be a federal offense to wear a Speedo.

[Still Thinking]

Maybe the deputy thought the guy would be more modest if he wore the ticket instead of the Speedo.

[nmh]

Supposedly it was a “skimpy” speedo.

At a certain age or body type, one should understand what one’s limitations are.

At a certain age and body type, no one can tell if you’re wearing a Speedo or not.

"...that’s wrong. It’s just wrong."

Funny, that's what I think whenever I see a guy in a Speedo.

Is there anything, anywhere, anymore that doesn't turn people into victims?

Is that Borat or his wife. :)

LOL - that’s why I had to post that part!

[Mr. Brightside]

his civil rights were violated.

But it was a *small* infraction.

[gusopol3]

what is the purpose of a Speedo?

Was he arrested for not filling his speedo properly?

No one should have to use tweezers and a magnifying glass.

[RepublitarianRoger2]

LOL!

New pickup line?

“Hey baby, wanna violate my civil rights?”

Once again officers with 2 year degrees and a badge thinking that they have the right to interpret the law as they wish. I guess once police departments figure out that losing millions of dollars to moronic citizens who are semi brighter then uneducated police officers is not the way to go then maybe just maybe things will change.
