Former Palm Beach Gardens cop Nouman Raja killed South Florida drummer Corey Jones in October 2015. A state jury convicted Raja on charges of manslaughter and attempted first-degree murder in March 2019.

However accustomed to crazy driving and bumper-to-bumper traffic they may be, Miamians would do well to prepare for the once-in-a-decade transit headaches that accompany Super Bowl LIV. Ever-changing traffic patterns meant to accommodate an estimated 150,000 out-of-state visitors are likely to vex even the most experienced local drivers. Short of hunkering down at home for […]

Beyond exacerbating Miami’s already nightmarish traffic, Super Bowl LIV has brought some cool stuff to town: Ocean Drive has a Ferris wheel; open bars are pouring drinks all over the place; and perhaps best of all, Lizzo played a free concert last night at the Fillmore Miami Beach.

At any given place in Miami-Dade County, you’re likely being surveilled. Traffic cameras have captured you running red lights. Automatic license-plate readers scan every car driving through Doral, Coral Gables, and Miami Beach. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security uses possibly illegal technology to scan the faces of departing travelers at Miami International Airport, and […]
