For once, this isn’t a story about Florida Man. This happened in Amarillo, Texas, this March, but it’s a headline you’d expect to come out of Florida.

However, like most places, Texas has very strict laws surrounding them.

This last January, Kim Ferguson, a long-time resident of Las Vegas, Nevada, was pulled over for speeding. An officer clocked at 31 mph in a 15 mph school zone. It had been the first ticket she had ever been issued. Being over double the speed limit, she was facing a $200 ticket. “I said, ‘Oh my gosh. I’ve never had a ticket before. I don’t know what to do,’” Ferguson told KLAS. The officer took pity on Ferguson and wrote her a ticket for going 20 mph—only a 5 mph difference.

On April 30, a woman, who opted to remain anonymous, woke up to find her 2010 Hyundai Elantra missing. She’d parked it in front of her apartment, where she usually parks it without issue, and became confused. Thinking quickly, she checked security footage.

In late April, 31-year-old Abdul Rahman Waziri parked his car in front of his apartment complex’s mailboxes before heading home to his wife and two young daughters. He turned on his hazard lights to alert other drivers that he had stopped, with the intention of moving after he was done. An unidentified man decided to also check the mail, and was recorded confronting Waziri. The two briefly but animatedly spoke before the man pulled a gun from his car, pointed it at Waziri, and fired multiple times.
