WTF now stands for Welcome to Florida.

[–]ThusSpokeZagahorn 9 points10 points ago

. . . where the very shores lull you into the somnolence of retirement, decrepitude, and dusty death.

I grew up there. I've been to Disney World ninety fucking times. I've had enough.

[–]KazakTheSpaceDog 8 points9 points ago

they actually sell a magazine at the gas station up the street from me called "mugshots." it is full of pictures like these. i see it every time i go buy cigarettes. if only i knew it would get me karma i would have bought a copy months ago.

[–]anewmancometh 289 points290 points ago

There are some weird ass fucking people on this planet. Goddamn.

[–]vegandread 164 points165 points ago

And most of them are in FL...

Edit: At least it's pretty...

He looks like an aged Duke Nukem.

[–]jj77875 39 points40 points ago

As a guy who lives in Florida, I can confirm this. Never know what you'll see when you go outside.

[–]GallifreyKangaroo 17 points18 points ago

I lived in Florida in 2009. I was not prepared for it at all.

[–]Bakerpd4 11 points12 points ago

Will never beat the monsters I've seen at Venice CA.

[–]ThisIsYourPenis 1 point2 points ago

For years there was a local dude here that no matter what the weather went around in a home-made duct tape covered, foam rubber padded body suit complete with helmet. So that he appeared 50's robot-like.

I will see if I can find a pic of him, I've not seen him for years.

Yes, Florida.

One of my morning websites I check real quick while having my coffee, Always see this dude.... I keep tabs on Orange county, have seen ex/current friends/coworkers here and there. Either a DUI or pot, whatever.

[–]WONT_CAPITALIZE_i 16 points17 points ago

Current Age: 37 Arrest Age: -6

[–]Zwemvest 15 points16 points ago

Computers translate dates to numbers. Technically, all computer dates start on 1 January 1970 00:00:00. This has the number 1. This guy was arrested on 11:59:59 31 December 1969. That's 0. They just left the date blank, and the computer translated it to 31 December 1969.

[–]StoneColdNaked 8 points9 points ago

That guy is always arrested for panhandling...poor dude is probably homeless just trying to make some cash.

[–]Melton_John 15 points16 points ago

It says he's -6 years old in the first one

[–]junjunjenn 6 points7 points ago

Do other States have this too? I love it.

[–]misterhektik 14 points15 points ago

If you're from Texas, Denton County has a twitpic feed

[–]MushCalledJOE 5 points6 points ago

People get arrested for speeding and not wearing a seatbelt? wtf.

[–]tr33g 7 points8 points ago

and for

CELL PHONE IN SCHOOL ZONE USE OF WIRELESS DEVICE

[–]somewhatintrigued 3 points4 points ago

Yup. That was bugging me too. That and the public shaming on a website for this kind of minor offense. Murrica hooray!

[–]dubstepdinosaur 4 points5 points ago

It's always fun to see people you know having their photo posted on TwitPic because they got arrested.

[–]DocLovin 3 points4 points ago

That's pretty hilarious.

[–]r4r4me 2 points3 points ago

[–]citizen72521 98 points99 points ago

Anyone else notice that he's arrested by Officer Lauderhill every time? That's some Reno 911 stuff right there:

"Black? BLACK! Hey, uh, bud, how many times am I going to have to tell you-- hey. HEY. Quit making those faces. Ok. Ok you want that as your booking photo? Ok. Again. Here we go again. Gotdamnit. BLACK. Hey! Face the lens. THANK you. Christ almighty, and I bet the same next week."

[–]9-1-Holyshit 50 points51 points ago

Lauderhill is actually the area he got arrested in in. Arrested by Lauderhill police. The most recent one says Fort Lauderdale. As in Fort Lauderdale police. Lauderhill is where most of Broward County's weirdos live. Sorry to burst your bubble. That seemed funnier anyway. :/

[–]Whoviantattoo 4 points5 points ago

I'm from Fort Lauderdale and can confirm Lauderhill is weirdos

[–]Jayx 21 points22 points ago

it's like he breaks the law just to trump his previous mugshot

[–]mr3film 8 points9 points ago

It's James' Way or the high-way!

[–]shut_your_whore_mouf 6 points7 points ago

He looks like a Draugr

[–]bahaki 3 points4 points ago

[–]shellstains 2 points3 points ago

for some reason I just can't stop looking at him

[–]kloopy007 54 points55 points ago

[–]joethedreamer 18 points19 points ago

I made this a couple years ago for Christmas and, uh...yeah http://i.imgur.com/IMIVG.jpg

[–]-TheBender- 8 points9 points ago

[–]KindredBear 4 points5 points ago

I think I know dead or asleep girl, and I lost my shit at coolio...

[–]RockyPowPow 184 points185 points ago

That made me so sad.

[–]rnichaeljackson 210 points211 points ago

These sites actually really piss me off. They take your mugshots, post them all over the internet, then charge you to take them down. I know I'm not helping your sadness, but talk about kicking someone when they're down.

[–]pissoutofmyass 113 points114 points ago

Many of those people look like they've been through hell, and may even be disturbed/homeless/mentally ill.

[–]dudleymooresbooze 63 points64 points ago

Plus they are all merely charged with a crime; not convicted of one. It could be a case of mistaken identity, crappy police work, false accusation, or any other explanation for why not everyone charged with a crime is guilty.

Locally, gas stations sell "newspapers" consisting of mugshots of recent arrestees in the area. I have thought about forming a company that follows and posts photos of the publishers of that newspaper, as well as their families. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

[–]GhostDays 21 points22 points ago

Yup, I got arrested for driving on a suspended license in a case that was later thrown out. Even though I was found not guilty of any crime when I search my name on google the mug shot is the FIRST PICTURE. I have to get it removed before I graduate next year for fear of employers doing just a simple google search and finding my sad, arrested looking ass.

[–]KoNP 12 points13 points ago

and also BLAAAAACCCCKKK

[–]pogiface 7 points8 points ago

Yeah its extortion..

[–]RollingApe 83 points84 points ago

Yeah, me too. I guess I'm not too into the whole "laugh at the disenfranchised and misfortunate" thing.

[–]whymeyoujerks 44 points45 points ago

It truly did send me through an emotional trip watching these pictures. The drug use is clear, and if the pain is not visible in their expressions, you know it's because of ignorance/ mental illness. sigh.

[–]thrillho145 17 points18 points ago

I got downvoted for saying as much. This is sad, not funny.

[–]naoptovke 5 points6 points ago

Indeed. Have an upvote.

[–]mrpopenfresh 68 points69 points ago

Wow, Rosie looks exactly like Rosie.

[–]Nirvalica 8 points9 points ago

I thought it looked sorta like fat, long-haired Shay Carl

[–]septicman 91 points92 points ago

Wasn't sure initially if it was mugshots, or OkCupid...

[–]honeybadga[S] 33 points34 points ago

Pretty sure I've seen a few of these on OkCupid

[–]kirizzel 17 points18 points ago

WTF?! Why are those pictures online? Is this a form of punishment, or just how it's done in America? I wouldn't want my mugshot online if I was busted.

[–]killahcool 9 points10 points ago

You have to pay if you want them taken down.

[–]dirice87 7 points8 points ago

These people look like they have mental disease, not career criminals.

[–]xolova 3 points4 points ago

Unfortunately because this great "Christian" nation no longer feels much compunction for caring for the most disadvantaged in society, the distinction has largely been lost.

[–]payphonepromise 37 points38 points ago

Not proud that this is my current state of residence. :/ Go home Florida, you're embarrassing everyone else who lives here. Jeeze.

[–]Tr33x0rs 21 points22 points ago

I moved from Denver, CO to Florida 3 years ago. It's a sad day for me.

[–]tomdarch 10 points11 points ago

ouch. on so many levels.

[–]tyrghast 2 points3 points ago

Well the number of reasons to move back just increased by 1.

[–]vegandread 2 points3 points ago

I agree. Lived in Denver for 3 years and am now in FL. Sad day indeed...

[–]ima_twerp 5 points6 points ago

Get your shit together, Cliff.

[–]seryously 20 points21 points ago

I know! Isn't it great to look upon our fellow human beings with disgust and ridicule?!?

Look at that lady, she looks different than me and had the gaul to go and do something that got herself photographed by the police. Nobody respectable has ever done that!

And look at that fella! The fact that he's addicted to meth makes me happy to be me, because I'm not addicted to meth! I'm so much better than him.

I'm all for a good laugh, but are you fucking serious with this? Coolio? The guy has a hair style and that's enough to include him whatever the hell this list is trying to convey? If you're going to be funny, then....well...at least be funny.

[–]KoNP 5 points6 points ago

had the gaul

The word is "gall", unless you mean she literally had a man from 2-millennia-past France.

[–]daddyguns 2 points3 points ago

you are one of those people arent you?

Im not a filthy yank, but isnt this an argument for rehabilitation rather then locking them up? Why are these pics available to the public, america the cesspool is a strange place, and i will never leave my utopia to even fucking visit there. What. a. shit. hole.

[–]maglorseregon 3 points4 points ago

i had a grin the whole time but lost it when i saw "Bob"
