By my math, $250/day for every day since Dec 31, 2021 would be $380,000 which could mean that they actually tracked each individual infraction (i.e. no fees on days they weren't home) which means there's zero chance of contesting this. Curious how much warning she got along the way before the fines really stacked up.

Also really curious what all the libertarians moving to Florida think of this.

The court of public opinion may well overturn this case, if local government still works they will cancel this obscene fine or replace their chiseling tax farming aristocratic local leaders.
