The Sheriff’s Office is reminding motorists this week that stopping on bridges is a prohibited by state law, unless there is an emergency.
On Monday, Middle Keys Sgt. Joel Slough saw a motorcyclist stopped on the shoulder of the Long Key Bridge.
He was operating a drone.
Sgt. Slough Bridge gave the Australian tourist a warning after his drone was recovered and both moved off the bridge for safety.
Sgt. Slough educated the man on local laws.
The man told Sgt. Slough he had an extra day of vacation, so he rented a motorcycle, drove to Key West and wanted some drone footage of the water.
