Daniel Villarreal - Yesterday 5:16 PM



The Miami Beach Police Department says it doesn't know how many pro-Donald Trump fliers their officers handed out while making traffic stops, and are calling the reference to a website selling Trump merchandise a "typographical error."

The fliers, which explained how to resolve minor traffic tickets online, were supposed to provide the web address for Miami-DadeClerk.com, the URL for the county's court system. Instead, one of the two URLs printed on the fliers excluded the web address' hyphen and told people to visit MiamiDadeClerk.com, a website selling pro-Trump merchandise.

"We're aware of this typographical error now," Miami Beach Police Department spokesperson Ernesto Rodriguez told the Miami Herald. "We put out a notice to officers to discontinue using them."

Rodriguez said that the pro-Trump URL included on the flier was the result of an unintentional typo. A flier containing the correct URLs had been in circulation by the county courts since May 2020. However, they were incorrectly transcribed by the police department at some point and then distributed to people...............................................................................................................

1. Trumps a racist why are you supporting him? is something someone should ask these assholes

2. They were NOT pro-Trump fliers

They were "how to pay your traffic ticket" fliers with an incorrect web address (very similar to the City of Miami Beach website) that someone else had parked for a merch site. It wasn't a Trump campaign site and I don't see why any Trump supporter would have thought this was a useful tactic.
