Florida law on the shit he just did is serious business. Long mandatory minimums if he is convicted. IIRC, There is no such thing as a misdemeanor amount of cocaine to possess here. Class 3 felony convictions are up to 5 years max, DUI is a big deal here. Illegal street racing is a big deal here. Being a non-resident when doing stupid shit here gets you zeroed-in on. There is an awful lot to "buy" his way out of here, and a lot of "fuck celebutards" attitude amongst the general public, here, too. So, politics involved. Miami Beach township is incorporated into the mega Miami-Dade County government, and I don't think Biebs can pay enough people to suck enough dick to get off easily, this time.
