MIAMI, FL — Newly released video from the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) shows in-car footage of a Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office unit traveling at nearly 100 miles per hour through a residential neighborhood.
The video, obtained this week, has raised serious concerns about officer conduct and public safety. In the footage, the marked MDSO vehicle can be seen accelerating well beyond posted limits, weaving through a community street where families and pedestrians were present.
When contacted for comment, an FHP spokesperson confirmed the video’s authenticity but declined to elaborate on whether disciplinary action or further investigation would follow. “The matter is under review,” the spokesperson said.
The Sheriff’s Office has not issued a public statement regarding the incident. However, the footage is already fueling debate over accountability and whether additional training or oversight is needed for deputies operating at high speeds in populated areas.
Fox News Miami will continue to monitor developments as both FHP and MDSO face growing scrutiny from residents concerned about safety in their neighborhoods.

MIAMI, FL — The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office has dropped the lawsuit connected to this month’s crash, Fox News Miami has confirmed through internal sources.
When pressed by our production staff for an explanation, a Sheriff’s Office lieutenant responded, “Not disclosing to keep my dignity.”
The sudden withdrawal comes after weeks of speculation that the case could expand into a major legal battle with statewide implications. The crash, which occurred on the 17th of August, left several people injured and prompted questions about training, accountability, and departmental procedures.
The lieutenant’s brief statement leaves more questions than answers, fueling speculation about what led to the decision. Fox News Miami will continue to investigate the matter as both the Sheriff’s Office and Florida Highway Patrol Troop E, which assisted in the original investigation, have declined to comment further.
