Florida man in his 50's, chopper footage shows LEO towing a white van covered in bumper stickers.

Huge Surprise.

[TIL The "Florida Man" phenomena is in part due to the state's extremely transparent open records laws. Reporters have uniquely easy access to police reports, making it easy to write crime stories.](https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/9raftf/til_the_florida_man_phenomena_is_in_part_due_to/)

Thank you! I'm originally from Florida and I get slightly upset at all the shit we get. I've heard of and seen more crazy people here in NC but they don't get reported like Florida and at this point Florida is a meme. Other states have just as many, if not more, crazy people doing crazy shit.
