Floida government officials in Tallahassee are known for persistent criminal misconduct for decades.
Florida BAR--to include the judges--enforce a Star Chamber, even though that was outlawed in England since the 1640s. Pinellas County sheriffs are feared by the citizens and idolized by the drug cartels.

Federal courts in FL are almost as corrupt as the state judges.
Since the early '80s, the enormous cash flows from the drug trade prop up the FL economy.
In the early '80s, the prices were as follows:
Judges: $1 million bribe in off-shore accounts, to declare 1 piece of critical evidence to be illegally obtained.
Governors: $50,000 to control law enforcement, if necessary.
Lawyers: $20,000 and up.
Police: $10,000 a month
Sheriffs: $10,000 a month
DEA agents; $30,000 for minor obstruction, $100,000 or more for obstructing major drug bust.
Don't know the prices anymore. I wasn't involved, but one didn't have to be involved back then to know what was happening.
The car of choice for drug dealers in FL in early '80s? Mercedes 450SL coup.
Could outrun any police car, and luxurious.
Around '81, near Gainesville, I arrived at bar frequented by college students, like me.
Outside in the parking lot was three or four 450SL coups. I went inside to avoid raising suspicion, could spot probable drug dealers right away. I had a drink, socialized a bit, then left. All to appear as though I had no idea who the owners of the cars might be.

Just the way it was.
