As someone from Florida, I have plenty of Florida Man stories. One story is cops got a call about a break-in. Cops show up to the address and find a guy passed out in the doorway with drugs and a gun next to him. However, the cops got the house number wrong and went to the wrong house just to find the suspect of the original call at that house.

im pretty sure the police are supposed to follow up with every single call, even if it's obviously a "prank call". Walker's family definitely could have sued the local police for that.
@@WGGplantnot true. If the operator feels the call doesn’t require police,fire, or paramedic they log the call as an NEC or Non-Emergency Call. Which,yea, is obviously a problem.

A long time ago I did a deep dive into this "Florida Man" thing, and the reality is that Florida is no "weirder" than any other state. I know "weird" is subjective, but the reality is that Florida is more transparent with crime than any other state.. If I recall correctly they have a "crime/criminal transparency" law where criminals and their crimes are required to be reported in the local media .. Basically crimes need to be listed in the local paper, which is commonly referred to as a "police blotter" - so there is total transparency in Florida...
That's because it has nothing to do with florida and everything to do with men period. There's no shortage of perverts or stupid violent criminals in any city. I've been dealing with these sick freaks since I was a child. It's honestly disturbing how many men are interested in kids and have no qualms about following a child or worse. I think it's unfair to call these cases Florida unless it has something to do with stereotypical florida things, like the dude who put an alligator in the restaurant would be a good example of a Florida man video. Most of these are just run of the mill perverts/criminals you would find in every city.
The last time I was in Florida, a family had a bunch of young men with downs syndrome, shirtless, in summer, waving confederate flags next to the on ramp to a causeway in Destin, FL. It's an image that has forever stayed with me.
To be completely honest, I'd expect the same thing here in South Carolina - while Covid was starting to rear its ugly head, I pulled off 385 in my state South Carolina, and a similar group was holding up Trump signs, anti-gay signs, Covid isn't real signs, and Biden is the devil signs, on the bridge on the overpass of Haywood road in Greenville, SC. Members of that group clearly had a chromosomal issue and I felt sick knowing their lives were being blighted and limited by these hate-filled fuckwits. I wonder if they were the same group? It was like May-June 2020.
I've worked for most of the major theme parks in central Florida, and sad as it is to say, the only part that surprised me about the Ariel story is that they actually called the police :/ I've seen costumed characters be groped, and all our supervisors would do is give the guy a warning or MAYBE escort him from the park if he fought back 🙃
Same. My supervisors at WDW would probably have apologized profusely to the guy and given him free stuff for the inconvenience of being accused of a crime. However, they probably had the police come backstage and took care of it there. There's an outside entrance with a bus stop right next to Ariel's Grotto, so it's pretty accessible from outside the park. I used to work right next to there and got in through that entrance.
@@PruneHub What the hell does "wokeness" have to do with anything? I wasn't even relating it to Florida in particular. I was just talking about my own personal experience working at Disney World because it was relevant to one of the stories and this comment. Lay off the Fox News, dude.
@@majesticmeerkat921 You leftists always accuse anyone you disagree with as "Fox News" watchers. I haven't had cable in more than ten years. I have no idea what they say or don't say. If you hadn't felt the need to say that I wouldn't have had any idea that you watch MSNBC and CNN. Nor would I have cared.
I just finished explaining this concept to my 10 year old lmao Florida man is like a spirit, a dream, a wish. Florida man can be a man, woman, child, or even pet. Hey, with enough will and drive, even YOU could be Florida man! Lol
They’d have no interest in such a place because it’s legal. They don’t get the thrill of power from wrecking objects. Nor do they get the thrill from willing participants. He could have purchased the toys but that wouldn’t have given him the thrill of public indecency and defilement.
If you ever consider doing a part 2, you should talk about the Florida Man that called the police to make sure the meth he bought was real. I learned about this from a scrapped Florida Man video I was making and it was a wild ride. Also while looking into it he had a kidnapping charge prior to this.
I was so confused by the pole thief, in Michigan most of these poles are timber, so I was questioning what good the pole would do for scrap metal until I saw the image
Honestly same but Maine here. Also anything left in or on the road long enough (generally only a few hours too) is considered abandoned property. He should actually have been perfectly fine to sell IF he reported it as abandoned property first Even then getting arrested is nuts ridiculous
Looking up florida law im surprised his lawyers didnt get him off. Property placed or abandoned on the side of a road is deemed trash and valueless. Not only should he not have a charge, but even if they had a charge the grand theft charge should be reduced
I also was very confused until the picture came up, most poles in my state are wood with a metal shield at the base. Except the poles traffic lights are on but those are way too big to strap to a normal car lmao.
I have family who live in Florida, and they tell me so many crazy stories when they come to visit. I haven't watched this video yet, since it was posted just minutes ago, but I hope to see the story of a man who had neither arms or legs, but he was still armed with dangerous weapons and on the run from the law. Lol
I spent ten years there.. some of the craziest shit i've seen in my life happened there. Saw a homeless person crap in front view of a 6 lane highway in a drainage ditch, was offered drugs several times by dealers on bicycles.. (I was a minor in most of the encounters and didn't have a license.) Been raided, woken up by shock grenades etc.. yea FL is a madhouse.
@@rionthemagnificent2971went for vacation once and never coming back, no, saw a high af mf tie fishing line to his, you know, then proceeded to try and use it as a fishing pole
In all fairness, and I don’t live in Florida. The FOIA laws are less strict than other states. Meaning you ask, you immediately get info in Florida. This allows quick access to the most bizarre and juicy stories to fill holes on slow news days. The same info could take weeks in others states. As a person familiar with criminal actions in several states, everyone is fuck up, just better at keeping their skeletons stowed away; basically we are all Florida.
I lived in Daytona Beach for a year and I saw so many crazy wacked out people. My favorite was the naked guy standing on top of a dumpster taking a 💩 and singing "loving arms" by Journey at the top of his lungs
I hope you know that Florida is unique when it comes to publicly available files. Meaning almost every case is available to view by the public unlike any other state. Thats why you hear about Florida so much
If some of other Southern states had Sunshine Laws like Florida allowing anyone to browse public records without a request, Florida would look pale in comparison ... Imagine stories from Louisiana Swamp Man.
@@DanDog91bro, spend some time in Ohio or Oklahoma. Most of the country is weird af. They all come here to escape the cold and wind up painting our image. Most Florida Man stories aren't even about people born here.

The car rescue story was a nice little addition. Prisoners that qualify for work detail are there for victimless, non-violent crime. At least in my state... I give them sodas and snacks anytime i see em near my house.
Good for you. In the US especially, people tend to assume that all prisoners are there for horrendous crimes, but in reality the vast majority of prisoners in the US were arrested for drug-related crimes such as possession with intent to distribute, most without any violent component attached. Combining that with the way that the labor of prisoners is exploited by this country (slavery is still legal in America as punishment for a crime!), you offering that small act of kindness means a lot
I am absolutely loving these long format videos. The darkest internet true crime video has kept me occupied this entire week while traveling for work. Fucking phenomenal work Wavy 🤙
A big reason there's so many Florida man stories, Is something called the "Sunshine law", Started in 1967. It basically makes county arrest records, very public to other states.
Imagine you hear all these crazy Florida man stories, think "eh, it's not gonna be that serious", go down to the sunshine state, and the first thing that happens to you is an armless guy stabbing you with a pair of scissors in his foot because you asked him where you are.
My biggest nightmare was in 2017, my iPhone 6 was experiencing constant “ghost touch” issues and I couldn’t afford a new phone. So, I ended up calling 911 four times in a row on accident… they showed up, I was pretty embarrassed because I didn’t even think my phone was on. They told me that it’s been happening at least a few times every hour to different people. Apple really should’ve gotten in more trouble for this. 23:08 this case brought back a core memory for me😂

Poor alligator though. Imagine just chilling with your homeboys in your swamp and some two-legged creature grabs you and throws you into some creepy smelly alien building.
The plushie violator's biggest punishment was, having his face (and mischievous behaviour/crime) shown in this multi-million viewers video. Ps. Question: Isn't Florida man a thing, because in Florida the crimes get publicized.. as opposed to toher states who retain from that?
Florida resident here! Because of the Sunshine Law, arrests are public records here, meaning information on crimes are very easy for news outlets and the public to find. It's a big factor in the whole Florida Man thing, but I can also confirm that the people here are just wild sometimes. :)
@@ILoveCanada0 i hope so. it ruins my mood every time ppl start sharing the story on social media again bc he’s crying in his mugshot, red face and all

Bro, kudos to you for putting up a uplifting and positive inmates saving a baby from a locked car, you just gained some respect from me for that randomly in the middle of all this.
Amen! I really appreciate it too! Not all prisoners are bad people, most are actually very good people that either ended up in a s**t situation or grew up in a s**t situation. They lead the only life they’ve ever known and I hate how people judge about that. Plus I’m also bothered about how convicts serve their time and yet can barely make a life on the “good path” because everyone still judges them. In the US at least, once you do your time, you paid your debt to society. They are supposed to be able to live out their life and yet there are so very few places that will even offer a job to them. So no wonder they end up back in prison, they have no way to make money for suitable living and so they have to go back to crime 😑🙁. Anyways sorry for the rant and thank you for making your comment!
@@UnicornSpoonie thank you for that wonderful reply, that's awesome and you're welcome, and thank you so much for kindly saying so that's what's up:) Indubitably I agree with you whole heartily 🫵😁👍💯💯
Last time I was in Tampa, downtown, there was a shirtless man dancing and singing like it was raining, it hadn't rained in weeks. Down the street were gangs of wild chickens with roosters that are aggressive, just hanging out in-between city buildings, and then a man walking a cow on a leash through the city center.
Guy I know got a felony evading and dui on a horse. They only got him due to boxing him in on a high bridge. I called him OJ for years afterwards.(low speed chase of a white bronco).
If I ever move to Florida the first thing I’m doing is getting a job as an LP camera officer at a Walmart. I’d have enough content in one week for a whole year to start a RUclips channel.
I moved from the North East when I was about 17 down to south Florida (broward, and then Overtown) until I was about 22-23 and yea, hands down the most wild period of my life. I really didn’t realize how crazy it was until after I left and all the wild stuff I seen on a daily basis almost never happened at all anywhere else. New York seems to be currently catching up.
You mean men? Because there wasn't one woman in this video. And yes, it happens constantly. Tons of dudes are getting out on bond when they have murder charges ffs. And I guarantee the guy who did that sht to Olaf is going to do something worse in the future, I just hope it's towards an adult who can defend themselves and not a child.
@@mountainchessyou also young boys getting sexual abused by adult women often gets cheered on or ignored, while the inverse gets everyone angry and usually prosecuted. Also women being violent to male partners often ends up in blaming the victim
As a member of the illustrious Florida man club (a man who’s lived in Florida his whole life), I could make a compelling argument that there may in fact be more Florida men and women then normal humans in the state.
Not in Florida but when I used to work graveyard shift at a gas station I had a lady try to get a refund out of this pack of jerky that only had a single strip, which was intentional, and she had already opened it and taken a couple bites out of it. To top it all off she claimed it was “too dry.”
I searched 'florida man' and just found an article titled "Florida man makes ‘dirt angels’ while hiding from cops following Christmas Eve car crash". And what happened is exactly that, and it happened just 2 days ago.
Florida man makes me proud..... to be from Missouri. Im kidding.....I'm sure if any of us looked locally, we'd find a version of him everywhere in the world, especially in todays times. I Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas or whatever you may celebrate, and I wish you safety and great times if you plan to celebrate New Years. Remember, it's amateur night, 20 years ago, I was that amateur, charged and judged with a DUI. I learned that drinking and driving impaired even though i caused no accidents and was doing ok until I was caught, cost me a small fortune, and brought hardship upon myself that I could have totally avoided had i not started the engine. I lost my license and my job, to return to the line of work i was in was not happening due to the blemished record and my having to drive being themajority of the work i was involved in doing. Having to find work where i could carpool or use public transportation also put me to working jobs that paid less and having to depend on others to get to work put me in predicaments that would never have been necessary had i just chosen to not drive. I no longer drink unless Mtn Dew or Dr Pepper count. That said, I know first hand what can happen and the cost it brings when one gets popped. Set up a designated driver, hire an Uber or Taxi, party in place, you'll wake up right where you passed out with only a hangover at worst. Dont risk lives or your livelyhood in an effort to have a good time. Even if you are sober, you are at a higher risk of being involved in a drunk driver involved accident on the roads on new years eve night from midnight to 3AM, than any other time of the year in the USA. Also, you have more risk of being pulled over or caught in a DUI checkpoint than any other time of the year as well. This goes to Wavy and all who might read this post, I wish you all a Happy New Year and better times in 2024. ✌️ Peace.
Nah, I'm good. Besides I drive so much better while I'm drunk then when I'm sober it's actually unreal. I've had friends comment on it saying I reminded them of Dominic Toretto.
@@Temulon just remember it's amateur night and some will use this as their first attempt at driving while intoxicated, wont make it to their destinations. Some won't be as alert and steady at handling the wheel as othwrs who have managed to get to their destination in the past, who think they are good at driving under the influence, based on their also alcohol influenced passengers who told them they were. I too had your attitude at one point, and I was was good too, that is, until I wasn't.

I feel bad for Nicolas Walker. If the police had acted instead of thinking the call was a prank, then he could’ve been saved. ☹️
im pretty sure the police are supposed to follow up with every single call, even if it's obviously a "prank call". Walker's family definitely could have sued the local police for that.
@@WGGplantnot true. If the operator feels the call doesn’t require police,fire, or paramedic they log the call as an NEC or Non-Emergency Call. Which,yea, is obviously a problem.

A long time ago I did a deep dive into this "Florida Man" thing, and the reality is that Florida is no "weirder" than any other state. I know "weird" is subjective, but the reality is that Florida is more transparent with crime than any other state.. If I recall correctly they have a "crime/criminal transparency" law where criminals and their crimes are required to be reported in the local media .. Basically crimes need to be listed in the local paper, which is commonly referred to as a "police blotter" - so there is total transparency in Florida...
I swear Utah also does this
That's because it has nothing to do with florida and everything to do with men period. There's no shortage of perverts or stupid violent criminals in any city. I've been dealing with these sick freaks since I was a child. It's honestly disturbing how many men are interested in kids and have no qualms about following a child or worse. I think it's unfair to call these cases Florida unless it has something to do with stereotypical florida things, like the dude who put an alligator in the restaurant would be a good example of a Florida man video. Most of these are just run of the mill perverts/criminals you would find in every city.
Yeah, I think it's called the Sunshine law
It's the sunshine act, as cruciatus said. If you knew what went on in Oregon, Florida would look like a state of law abiding geniuses.
@@mikesanders8621this is beyond true and I’ll swear by it everytime
The last time I was in Florida, a family had a bunch of young men with downs syndrome, shirtless, in summer, waving confederate flags next to the on ramp to a causeway in Destin, FL. It's an image that has forever stayed with me.
To be completely honest, I'd expect the same thing here in South Carolina - while Covid was starting to rear its ugly head, I pulled off 385 in my state South Carolina, and a similar group was holding up Trump signs, anti-gay signs, Covid isn't real signs, and Biden is the devil signs, on the bridge on the overpass of Haywood road in Greenville, SC. Members of that group clearly had a chromosomal issue and I felt sick knowing their lives were being blighted and limited by these hate-filled fuckwits. I wonder if they were the same group? It was like May-June 2020.
Sounds like Florida to me
Im not even American and can recognise this as Florida
Pure Florida
floridian and can confirm i’ve seen similar..😭
I've worked for most of the major theme parks in central Florida, and sad as it is to say, the only part that surprised me about the Ariel story is that they actually called the police :/ I've seen costumed characters be groped, and all our supervisors would do is give the guy a warning or MAYBE escort him from the park if he fought back 🙃
Same. My supervisors at WDW would probably have apologized profusely to the guy and given him free stuff for the inconvenience of being accused of a crime. However, they probably had the police come backstage and took care of it there. There's an outside entrance with a bus stop right next to Ariel's Grotto, so it's pretty accessible from outside the park. I used to work right next to there and got in through that entrance.

If you ever consider doing a part 2, you should talk about the Florida Man that called the police to make sure the meth he bought was real. I learned about this from a scrapped Florida Man video I was making and it was a wild ride. Also while looking into it he had a kidnapping charge prior to this.

I was so confused by the pole thief, in Michigan most of these poles are timber, so I was questioning what good the pole would do for scrap metal until I saw the image
Honestly same but Maine here. Also anything left in or on the road long enough (generally only a few hours too) is considered abandoned property. He should actually have been perfectly fine to sell IF he reported it as abandoned property first
Even then getting arrested is nuts ridiculous
Looking up florida law im surprised his lawyers didnt get him off. Property placed or abandoned on the side of a road is deemed trash and valueless.
Not only should he not have a charge, but even if they had a charge the grand theft charge should be reduced
Same
I also was very confused until the picture came up, most poles in my state are wood with a metal shield at the base. Except the poles traffic lights are on but those are way too big to strap to a normal car lmao.

In all fairness, and I don’t live in Florida. The FOIA laws are less strict than other states. Meaning you ask, you immediately get info in Florida. This allows quick access to the most bizarre and juicy stories to fill holes on slow news days. The same info could take weeks in others states. As a person familiar with criminal actions in several states, everyone is fuck up, just better at keeping their skeletons stowed away; basically we are all Florida.

Also drugs.

The car rescue story was a nice little addition. Prisoners that qualify for work detail are there for victimless, non-violent crime. At least in my state... I give them sodas and snacks anytime i see em near my house.
Good for you. In the US especially, people tend to assume that all prisoners are there for horrendous crimes, but in reality the vast majority of prisoners in the US were arrested for drug-related crimes such as possession with intent to distribute, most without any violent component attached. Combining that with the way that the labor of prisoners is exploited by this country (slavery is still legal in America as punishment for a crime!), you offering that small act of kindness means a lot
Visiting prisoners is a Christian corporal work of mercy. In my mind that extends to generally being merciful towards prisoners. Good on you.
I am absolutely loving these long format videos.
The darkest internet true crime video has kept me occupied this entire week while traveling for work.

A big reason there's so many Florida man stories, Is something called the "Sunshine law", Started in 1967. It basically makes county arrest records, very public to other states.

So, I ended up calling 911 four times in a row on accident… they showed up, I was pretty embarrassed because I didn’t even think my phone was on. They told me that it’s been happening at least a few times every hour to different people. Apple really should’ve gotten in more trouble for this. 23:08 this case brought back a core memory for me😂

The plushie violator's biggest punishment was, having his face (and mischievous behaviour/crime) shown in this multi-million viewers video.
Ps. Question: Isn't Florida man a thing, because in Florida the crimes get publicized.. as opposed to toher states who retain from that?
Florida resident here! Because of the Sunshine Law, arrests are public records here, meaning information on crimes are very easy for news outlets and the public to find. It's a big factor in the whole Florida Man thing, but I can also confirm that the people here are just wild sometimes. :)
Yes, that is exactly why Florida seems so wild. I guarantee other states sound even crazier if they publicized crimes as well!

Amen! I really appreciate it too! Not all prisoners are bad people, most are actually very good people that either ended up in a s**t situation or grew up in a s**t situation. They lead the only life they’ve ever known and I hate how people judge about that. Plus I’m also bothered about how convicts serve their time and yet can barely make a life on the “good path” because everyone still judges them. In the US at least, once you do your time, you paid your debt to society. They are supposed to be able to live out their life and yet there are so very few places that will even offer a job to them. So no wonder they end up back in prison, they have no way to make money for suitable living and so they have to go back to crime 😑🙁.

Now there are Florida Man Olympics starting this year.
Last time I was in Tampa, downtown, there was a shirtless man dancing and singing like it was raining, it hadn't rained in weeks. Down the street were gangs of wild chickens with roosters that are aggressive, just hanging out in-between city buildings, and then a man walking a cow on a leash through the city center.

I Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas or whatever you may celebrate, and I wish you safety and great times if you plan to celebrate New Years. Remember, it's amateur night, 20 years ago, I was that amateur, charged and judged with a DUI. I learned that drinking and driving impaired even though i caused no accidents and was doing ok until I was caught, cost me a small fortune, and brought hardship upon myself that I could have totally avoided had i not started the engine. I lost my license and my job, to return to the line of work i was in was not happening due to the blemished record and my having to drive being themajority of the work i was involved in doing. Having to find work where i could carpool or use public transportation also put me to working jobs that paid less and having to depend on others to get to work put me in predicaments that would never have been necessary had i just chosen to not drive. I no longer drink unless Mtn Dew or Dr Pepper count. That said, I know first hand what can happen and the cost it brings when one gets popped.
Set up a designated driver, hire an Uber or Taxi, party in place, you'll wake up right where you passed out with only a hangover at worst. Dont risk lives or your livelyhood in an effort to have a good time. Even if you are sober, you are at a higher risk of being involved in a drunk driver involved accident on the roads on new years eve night from midnight to 3AM, than any other time of the year in the USA. Also, you have more risk of being pulled over or caught in a DUI checkpoint than any other time of the year as well.
This goes to Wavy and all who might read this post, I wish you all a Happy New Year and better times in 2024. ✌️ Peace.
Nah, I'm good. Besides I drive so much better while I'm drunk then when I'm sober it's actually unreal. I've had friends comment on it saying I reminded them of Dominic Toretto.
