Highway Violence

In early 1993, the Florida Highway Patrol responded to a variety of patrol and enforcement issues of the motoring public. Widespread national and international media reports labeled Florida as a dangerous tourist destination. This label evolved as a result of random acts of violence on the interstate highway system and the brutal murders of several tourists traveling on the highway system.

During FY 2001/2002, a total of 407 incidents of highway violence were reported to FHP. Those incidents included robbery, strong-arm-robbery, rock throwing and other acts of violence occurring on the highway of the state. Of the 407 incidents, only 23 involved the use or threatened use of firearms.
