“The mission of the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services is to safeguard the public and support Florida's agricultural economy by:
- Ensuring the safety and wholesomeness of food and other consumer products through inspection and testing programs;
- Protecting consumers from unfair and deceptive business practices and providing consumer information;
- Assisting Florida's farmers and agricultural industries with the production and promotion of agricultural products; and
- Conserving and protecting the state's agricultural and natural resources by reducing wildfires, promoting environmentally safe agricultural practices, and managing public lands.”
So where does it say that “they” can set up outposts on I-75 and I-10 and “order” trucks in to ask drivers what their cargo is. If you want your Prepass transponder to receive a green light to avoid this BS, you have to pay the above fees. That’s after filling out a 3 page application which takes 2-3 months to get approved. And there’s no assurance you’ll get it approved.
I drive a flatbed. I never carry anything that has to do with the FL Dept. of Agriculture or Consumer Services. I never load anything that is agriculture, horticulture or “aqua-culture.” related. Why should I have to pay anything?
Meanwhile any car or RV can roll by with drugs, weapons or even a small nuclear device without having to stop. This is absurd. OOIDA will not help! One million trucks pass through these ridiculous stations each year.
