The police posted a story on Facebook that revealed why they were unable to catch speeders despite numerous reports from civilians.
The Collier County Sheriff’s Office sent officers to a street to trap speeders after many complaints.
While they were parked on the side waiting for drivers to pass the speed limit on the road, they found the traffic to be quite calm.
“Traffic was steady,” police wrote. “So why had they identified just one driver who was traveling over the speed limit?”
After a “significant amount of time,” they had only caught one driver speeding and couldn’t figure out why the number of violators was so low.
But when the officers were leaving the area, they saw something on their way out.
Well played, Anonymous Sign Artist. Well played. In response to citizen requests our deputies conducted a speed…

An anonymous civilian had put up a sign saying “Police Ahead” to warn approaching drivers about the officers’ operation.
“As they left the area they spotted this sign about a quarter of a mile ahead of their enforcement site,” police wrote.
The police took it in jest. “Well played, Anonymous Sign Artist. Well played.”
A Facebook user even recommended the police use this tactic in order to slow people down.
“The police should definitely recreate signs like this all over,” Danny White said. “It would definitely slow some people down and maybe even save some accidents and even lives.”
But it wasn’t long until witty Facebook trolls made their mark on the post.
“So we don’t need $90K+ per year state employees driving $120K vehicles and flying $350K airplanes to make people slow down, just some plywood?”
“Sign more effective than the police.”
“Not all hero’s [sic] wear capes! Thank you, citizen.”
“As long as they slowed down it’s a win.”
Florida Man Arrested After 100 mph Police Chase
Gabriel Molina, who lives in Miami, was allegedly driving at high speeds in the Florida Keys when officials spotted him, Local10 reported.
THE FERRARI MADE HIM DO IT? When the deputy turned on his siren and lights, the driver increased his speed to 100 mph and turned off his lights, authorities said.

Deputies claimed that they chased him after he fled a traffic stop. He was arrested on April 14 on charges of fleeing an eluding a law enforcement officer, the report said.
When he was questioned by officials following his arrest, Molina allegedly told them, “The car is a Ferrari, and it goes fast.”
Adam Linhardt, a spokesman for the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, told the local Florida station that a deputy saw a Ferrari going at about 75 mph on the Overseas Highway. The speed limit in the area is 45 mph.
The deputy then turned on his siren and lights before Molina began driving at a higher rate of speed. Linhardt said he reached a speed of 100 mph at one point and turned off his lights.
Minutes later, Molina was caught as he stood outside a gas station.
Molina admitted speeding but denied fleeing from the deputy, Local10 reported.
“But the female in the passenger seat stated that Molina did indeed see Sgt. Dosh’s lights and heard his siren,” the sheriff’s office news release regarding his arrest said, reported the Miami Herald. “She also stated she told Molina to slow down.”
Other details about the case are not clear.
These People Are the Best at Their Jobs
A compilation video has surfaced online showing a group of highly talented people performing some of the most amazingly bizarre feats ever committed to film.
The video includes lightning-fast stamping, lightning fast keying, strangely efficient ways to paint road markings, and a unique way to wash beneath a car with a pressure washer.
In one video we see a Chinese man acrobatically wiping down restaurant tables with a cloth before flinging it into the air repeatedly and catching it like pizza dough. In another Chinese restaurant, we see a different man using all his might to rock a huge wok full of food backward and forward to stir and combine the ingredients together.
Another food-based clip shows one talented chef balancing and bouncing an egg on a fish slice like soccer players bounce a football on their feet.
The second clip shows a daring man throwing what looks like grapefruits in the air with one hand while cutting them in half with a large knife in the other.
Watch these amazing people and their incredible skills for yourself!
