How Miami Beach traffic stops led drivers to online pitches for Trump 2024 merchandise

In Miami Beach, getting pulled over by city police didn’t just mean a ticket for some drivers. Officers also handed them an invitation to check out a website selling Trump 2024 merchandise.
A city police flier in circulation until last week explaining how to resolve minor traffic tickets online dropped a crucial hyphen for a Miami-Dade County courts website, steering drivers away from a bland judicial portal and to an online store selling flags, videos and caps celebrating former President Donald Trump and his potential third run for the White House.
Offerings at miamidadeclerk.com include Trump 2024 camouflage caps, a DVD exploring the possibility of a “one-world centralized government” without Trump in the White House, and two Trump-themed flags featuring the obscenity “F***” (one paired with “Biden”, the other with “Your Feelings.”)
“We’re aware of this typographical error now,” Miami Beach police spokesperson Ernesto Rodriguez said of the fliers on Monday. “We put out a notice to officers to discontinue using them.”
After the Miami Herald inquired about the fliers, Rodriguez said police administrators last week removed them from a room at headquarters where officers pick up paperwork. A Herald reader who asked not to be identified provided a copy of the info sheet that she said she received during a traffic stop.
