Florida Auto Insurance Fraud & Meth Lab Legislation Passed
Florida Governor Jeb Bush signed legislation this week to help make Florida’s communities safer from methamphetamines and meth labs and also to reign in auto insurance fraud.   You can read the full press release on www.fldfs.com.

House Bill 1325 “authorizes the immediate removal of children found in methamphetamine labs, allows courts to withhold bond for meth manufacturers, and extends greater protections to emergency responders injured while responding to meth labs including preventing them from having life or health insurance canceled if they test positive for meth as a result of performing their jobs.”

House Bill 561 “tightens the grip on fraud artists who steal from Florida’s families by staging or fabricating auto crashes and making fraudulent auto insurance claims.”
 
Amazingly the number of meth labs found in Florida has increased by 1,100 percent in the past five years according to one of the backers of the meth lab legislation Senator Carey Baker. 

The auto insurance fraud bill will “enhance penalties for the newest twists on auto insurance fraud – ‘phantom’ and ‘paper’ auto accidents that never actually occur – making either a second-degree felony punishable by a two-year minimum mandatory prison sentence.”

I suspect about one person who has had two car accidents in less than one year that I am almost sure were fake crashes. After the first accident she bought a Year's Toyota Corolla and after the second accident a Suzuki Rodeo.
Where and whom I should report it?
