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.

It should be a federal offense to wear a Speedo.

Maybe the deputy thought the guy would be more modest if he wore the ticket instead of the 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.
To: RDTF
"...thats wrong. Its just wrong." Funny, that's what I think whenever I see a guy in a Speedo.

However, Hezzelwood said he plans to sue the sheriff's department, saying his civil rights were violated.Is there anything, anywhere, anymore that doesn't turn people into victims?
To: jaz.357
Is that Borat or his wife. :)

his civil rights were violated. But it was a *small* infraction.

Was he arrested for not filling his speedo properly?
No one should have to use tweezers and a magnifying glass.

LOL!
New pickup line?
“Hey baby, wanna violate my civil rights?”
To: RDTF
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.
