DRIVERS who customize their license plates have been warned to fix their tags to avoid being slapped with fines costing over $100. The Florida Highway Patrol is cracking down on people with license plates that are airbrushed, vinyl-wrapped, or customized. Any changes to standard, state-issued license plates are prohibited thanks to a new rule that kicked in around August. This means you can't make aesthetic changes like swapping the color of your license plate or adding airbrushed designs. The alterations are illegal because they can affect the plate's reflectivity, safety features, and the yellow validation stickers, cops said. Cops have doubled down on the rule recently after it was revealed that citations for unlawful alterations have skyrocketed. READ MORE ROAD LAWS “We are trying to stop the current trend that we are seeing,” FHP's Lt. Alex Camacho said, according to ABC affiliate WPLG . “If you put this tag on your car, we are going to seize that tag. "You are going to get your vehicle towed and get an infraction for it." Camacho warned, “It’s bigger than people saying it’s not a big deal.” Most read in Motors License plate modifications can also include using license plate covers, illuminated devices, or anything that interferes with seeing the details on a plate. FHP is bringing down the hammer on illegal plates due to citations for these violations going up 98% since 2020. Depending on the county, anyone who violates the guidelines could be committing a non-criminal traffic infraction. Statewide, the penalties include a $60 fine, three points on the driver's license, and additional fees according to the county rules. In some Florida counties including Flagler County, drivers could face a fine of $116 for the violation, police said. If the Florida plate has been changed so it can't return to its original condition, the driver is required to get a replacement plate from their local tax collector. Driving on a public roadway with customized license plates is illegal in Florida. Florida Statutes Section 320.061 prohibits the unlawful altering of a license plate. The law states that altering or obscuring the following items is illegal: Motor vehicle registration certificates License plates Temporary license plates Mobile home stickers Validation stickers Drivers cannot mutilate, alter, deface, or change the color of the plate in any way. You can also not apply or attach the following to the license plate: Substance Reflective matter Illuminated device Spray Coating Covering Other material interfering with the legibility, angular visibility, or detectability of the license plate Nothing should interfere with the ability to record any feature or detail on the plate. "A person who violates this section commits a noncriminal traffic infraction, punishable as a moving violation as provided in chapter 318," the law states. The penalties for the violations include a $60 fine, three points on the driver's license, and additional county fees. State troopers can also confiscate altered plates, leaving the owner to apply for a new plate. However, there are still ways to make your license plate stand out. SPECIALTY PLATES Florida offers over 100 specialty license plates for unique organizations. Specialty plate purchases send money to the causes they represent. Plus, drivers can order personalized license plates at some certified service centers - it's just decorating the plates unofficially that could lead to penalties. Read More on The US Sun While some drivers illegally change their plates for aesthetic or personalization purposes, some criminals alter their licenses to hide from police. The U.S. Sun has reached out to FHP for comment.Chandigarh, Dec 28 (PTI) Farmers, on a warpath against the Centre, on Saturday called for a "Kisan Mahapanchayat" at the Khanauri protest site on January 4. Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-political) and Kisan Mazdoor Morcha had earlier given a call for a Punjab bandh on December 30.

The steps come amid the Supreme Court coming down heavily on the Punjab government for not shifting farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal, who has been fasting for over a month, to a hospital. SKM (Non-political) leader Kaka Singh Kotra, said the 70-year-old has been on an indefinite hunger strike, which entered its 33rd day on Saturday.

"On January 4 at Khanauri, we will hold a big Kisan Mahapanchayat in which farmers from various states will participate," Kotra told reporters at Khanauri protest site. On Saturday, while it admonished the Punjab government, the Supreme Court also indicated the possibility that Dallewal may have not been allowed to be taken to a hospital by other farmer leaders. Responding to it, Dallewal, in a video message, said, "I am sitting on a fast. Who gave this report in the Supreme Court and who spread this misconception that I have been kept hostage, where did such a thing come from? He added, "Seven lakh farmers of this country have committed suicide due to debt. To save farmers is necessary, therefore, I am sitting here, I am not under anyone's pressure." In his message, Dallewal also said he had written a letter to the Supreme Court, requesting it to direct the Centre to accept the farmers' demands, including a legal guarantee of the minimum support price on crops. "We thought, maybe the Supreme Court would give direction to the Centre," he said, adding, he was happy that the court intervened. Farmer leader Abhimanyu Kohar said Dallewal may also speak at the Mahapanchayat. Dallewal had earlier said he would not break his fast till the government agreed to the farmers' demands. On Saturday, in an unprecedented hearing, a vacation bench of Justices Surya Kant and Sudhanshu Dhulia gave the Punjab government time till December 31 to persuade Dallewal to shift to a hospital, giving it the liberty to seek logistical support from the Centre, if the situation warrants. Expressing helplessness, the Punjab government said it is facing huge resistance from the protesting farmers who have encircled Dallewal and are preventing him from being taken to a hospital. The court also termed the conduct of some farmer leaders accompanying Dallewal surprising and questionable. Meanwhile, a high-level team of Punjab government officials again called on Dallewal requesting him to accept medical treatment even if he wishes to continue with his fast. Dallewal has so far refused medical treatment and the state government has formed a team of doctors to monitor his health round-the-clock. The team which also comprises Deputy Inspector General of Police Mandeep Singh Sidhu told Dallewal that he could choose a place and he would only be given the required medical support. The farmers have been on a protest with several demands, one of them being a legal guarantee for a minimum support price. Farmers, under the banner of Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) and Kisan Mazdoor Morcha, have been camping at the Shambhu and the Khanauri border points between Punjab and Haryana since February 13 after their march to Delhi was stopped by security forces. A "jatha (group)" of 101 farmers attempted to march to Delhi on foot three times between December 6 and 14 but were stopped by security personnel of Haryana.

Los Angeles Chargers (7-4) at Atlanta (6-5) Sunday, 1 p.m. EST, CBS BetMGM NFL Odds: Chargers by 1 1/2 Series record: Falcons lead 8-4. Against the spread: Chargers 7-3-1, Falcons 5-6. Last meeting: Chargers beat Falcons 20-17 on Nov. 6, 2022, in Atlanta. Last week: Ravens beat Chargers, 30-23; Falcons had bye week following 38-6 loss at Denver on Nov. 17. Chargers offense: overall (21), rush (13), pass (20), scoring (18). Chargers defense: overall (13), rush (10), pass (10), scoring (13). Falcons offense: overall (8), rush (14), pass (5), scoring (16). Falcons defense: overall (25), rush (19), pass (26), scoring (26). Turnover differential: Chargers plus-8, Falcons minus-3. RB Gus Edwards could move up as the lead back for Los Angeles as J.K Dobbins (knee) is expected to miss the game . Edwards was activated from injured reserve earlier this month following an ankle injury and had nine carries for 11 yards with a touchdown in Monday night's 30-23 loss to Baltimore. WR Drake London has 61 catches, leaving him four away from becoming the first player in team history to have at least 65 receptions in each of his first three seasons. London has 710 receiving yards, leaving him 140 away from becoming the first player in team history with at least 850 in each of his first three seasons. Falcons RB Bijan Robinson vs. Chargers run defense. Robinson was shut down by Denver, gaining only 35 yards on 12 carries, and the Atlanta offense couldn't recover. The Chargers rank 10th in the league against the run, so it will be a challenge for the Falcons to find a way to establish a ground game with Robinson and Tyler Allgeier. A solid running attack would create an opportunity for offensive coordinator Zac Robinson to establish the play-action passes for quarterback Kirk Cousins. Dobbins appeared to injure his right knee in the first half of the loss to the Ravens, though coach Jim Harbaugh did not provide details. ... The Falcons needed the bye to give a long list of injured players an opportunity to heal. WR WR KhaDarel Hodge (neck) did not practice on Wednesday. WR Darnell Mooney (Achilles), CB Kevin King (concussion), DL Zach Harrison (knee, Achilles) and WR Casey Washington (concussion) were hurt in the 38-6 loss at Denver on Nov. 17 and were limited on Wednesday. CB Mike Hughes (neck), nickel back Dee Alford (hamstring), ILB Troy Andersen (knee), TE Charlie Woerner (concussion) and ILB JD Bertrand (concussion) also were limited on Wednesday after not playing against Denver. C Drew Dalman (ankle) could return. The Chargers have won the past three games in the series following six consecutive wins by the Falcons from 1991-2012. Los Angeles took a 33-30 overtime win in Atlanta in 2016 before the Chargers added 20-17 wins at home in 2020 and in Atlanta in 2022. The Falcons won the first meeting between the teams, 41-0 in San Diego in 1973. Each team has built its record on success against the soft NFC South. Atlanta is 4-1 against division rivals. Los Angeles is 2-0 against the NFC South this season. The Chargers have a four-game winning streak against the division. ... Atlanta is 0-2 against AFC West teams, following a 22-17 loss to Kansas City and the lopsided loss at Denver. They will complete their tour of the AFC West with a game at the Las Vegas Raiders on Dec. 16. ... The Falcons are the league's only first-place team with a negative points differential. Atlanta has been outscored 274-244. The loss of Dobbins, who has rushed for eight touchdowns, could put more pressure on QB Justin Hebert and the passing game. Herbert's favorite option has been WR Ladd McConkey, who has four TD receptions among his 49 catches for 698 yards. McConkey, the former University of Georgia standout who was drafted in the second round, could enjoy a productive return to the state against a Falcons defense that ranks only 26th against the pass.

Nick Kyrgios says positive tests for duo are ‘disgusting’ and ‘a horrible look’
CLEVELAND (AP) — Shane Bieber's first venture into free agency turned into a return trip. The 2020 AL Cy Young Award winner agreed Friday to rejoin the Cleveland Guardians after making just two starts last season before undergoing Tommy John surgery, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press. Bieber had been expected to leave the AL Central champions. But he's coming back after agreeing to a one-year, $14 million contract that includes a $16 million player option for 2026, said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal had not been announced. Bieber’s deal will pay him $10 million in salary and includes a $4 million buyout. The 29-year-old only pitched twice in 2024 before that bothered him during the previous campaign. Bieber felt discomfort in his start on opening day against the Oakland Athletics and again when he faced the Seattle Mariners his next outing. Bieber didn't allow a run in either start, and the club had been encouraged by his velocity and dominance (20 strikeouts). But the elbow became too painful and Bieber elected to have the ligament-replacement surgery. If his recovery follows a normal timeline, Bieber should be back in Cleveland's rotation within the first three months of next season. The Guardians feared his loss would hurt them last season, but the club got off to a fast start under first-year manager Stephen Vogt and ran away with the division title. Cleveland eliminated Detroit in the AL Division Series before losing the ALCS to the New York Yankees in five games. Bieber spent chunks of last season with the team and he received a huge ovation at Progressive Field when he was introduced before the postseason series. The two-time All-Star has spent all seven of his big league seasons with Cleveland, which had contemplated trading him before his elbow issues in 2023 limited him to 21 starts. During the shortened COVID-19 season in 2020, Bieber went 8-1 with a 1.63 ERA over 12 starts and 77 1/3 innings with 122 strikeouts. He led the majors in wins, ERA and strikeouts and finished fourth in AL MVP voting. He was selected by Cleveland in the fourth round of the 2016 amateur draft out of UC Santa Barbara and made his major league debut two years later on his 23rd birthday. Bieber has a career record of 62-32 with a 3.22 ERA over 136 outings spanning 134 starts and 843 innings. He has twice reached 200 innings, throwing a career-high 214 1/3 in 2019. AP MLB:

AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nflNoneWildwood Wildlife Shelter operator Pam Turner wasn’t going anywhere on Boxing Day despite her fears the Grampians bushfire could head her way – she had a lounge room with 20 joeys in it to look after. She and the rescued roos sheltered inside her Victoria Valley house as sprinklers doused the roof and sheds outside. “I was extremely anxious. I was preparing myself for a giant fireball to come over the mountains,” Turner said. “I chose to stay for the very reason that I had a cottage full of joeys. How could I leave them locked in the cottage?” The forecast 70-kilometre northeasterly winds that threatened to blow the fire towards Wildwood failed to eventuate, and rainfall on Saturday brought some relief to the shelter. But Turner remains worried about what may be yet to come. Three homes in the town of Moyston and 11 outbuildings in the surrounding area have been reported as destroyed by the Grampians blaze so far, and animal rescuers are waiting for permission to enter the Grampians National Park to assess wildlife losses. Pam Turner caring for one of the joeys she kept safe during the Grampians bushfires. The blaze, whose perimeter stretches more than 380 kilometres, has scorched more than 75,000 hectares and is expected to burn into the new year due to dry conditions and difficult, mountainous terrain. Authorities have reported stock losses, as well as beehive, fencing, pasture and hay losses from the fire, which began early last week. Turner was part of the wildlife rescue effort following the Mount Lubra fire, which burnt half the Grampians in 2006. She said the loss of life had left her traumatised. “For months afterwards we were finding injured kangaroos, burnt on the pads of their feet. They were starving because there was no food,” she said. “At this stage, we don’t know what to expect – [the current fire] will certainly be ongoing for weeks and weeks.” An officer from the Environment Department was deployed to assess wildlife losses outside the fire zone this week and was expected to determine whether a triage centre was required to treat injured animals in coming days. Emergency services described the Boxing Day conditions as some of the worst they had seen since the Black Summer fires of 2019-20. Credit: Justin McManus Wildlife Victoria has experienced an increase in calls about heat-stressed animals since summer began and expected calls for burns and dehydration to spike as people returned to the Grampians. Residents of Halls Gap were given permission to return to their homes on Friday, but the park remained closed to tourists. McKenzie Creek resident Brendan Stemp was on alert for changes to weather conditions that could blow embers towards his cattery and neighbouring farmland. Stemp said the more than 30 cats at his property had been kept comfortable during the worst fire conditions, but he was expecting significant damage to wildlife inside the park. “Because it’s such a huge area, there’s millions of animals in there, and all these other critters and insects that the fire’s going to take a huge toll on,” he said. Stemp said the other concern was wildlife being pushed out into grazing land and having to compete with sheep and cattle for food. “Often wildlife come off second best when that happens.” Three homes and 11 outbuildings have been lost in the Grampians fire so far. Credit: Justin McManus Cooler conditions in the Wimmera at the weekend are forecast to be replaced by warmer weather next week. The Bureau of Meteorology has predicted temperatures in the low 30s on Monday and up to 35 degrees on Tuesday. Emergency Management Commissioner Rick Nugent said the next week would provide favourable conditions for firefighters. “Weather over the next week looks relatively stable. This will allow us time to stabilise the fires and continue back-burning operations, and look to support the community further,” Nugent said. In addition to state and federal support for local government areas affected by the Grampians fire, personal hardship payments are now available. One-off payments of $680 for adults and $340 for children up to $2380 per affected family are being provided to help cover essentials. Loading Forest Fire Management Victoria spokesman Chris Hardman said it was thanks to firefighters that the fire situation had not been worse in recent days. “Without their hard work, we would have had much bigger fires causing much bigger damage,” Hardman said. “On behalf of all Victorians I would like to thank them because what they did on Boxing Day in extreme fire danger saved a lot more anguish and pain that Victorians now don’t have to suffer.” The Morning Edition newsletter is our guide to the day’s most important and interesting stories, analysis and insights.
