This site states FL law as:
“No person shall drive any motor vehicle with any sign, poster, or other nontransparent material upon the front windshield, side wings, or side or rear windows of such vehicle which materially obstructs, obscures, or impairs the driver’s clear view of the highway or any intersecting highway.”

“The people are remarkably united against hate. The institutions – government, academia, the media – aren’t united against hate at all. The institutions treat the same hatreds differently depending on where they are coming from, and who is expressing them. Indeed, hatred against certain groups is in some cases lauded as the proper response to things we don’t like. The message is that hate is just awful — except when it isn’t, and someone else, not you, is appointed to say when that is.
…
Out of an American nation of 325 million, almost no one has ever wanted to shoot up a synagogue and kill 11 people, and until today, no one has ever done so. That reality has not changed for 242 years.

Americans are already unified in our desire to not do such things, and not see them done. Yet the institutions, which cover up for some anti-Semites [e.g., Farrakhan] while falsely tarring the blameless with the brush of what other anti-Semites do, have the temerity to hector and rebuke Americans on this topic.

Let our institutions be reformed, and let a cold wind and blistering sunlight scour and illuminate their every dark corner, until all their entrenched fraudulence and partiality have been sent packing, and they catch up with the ordinary people on this matter of unity against hate.”

It’s either madness or a wacko sense of humor.
It’s not a serious explosive device, c’mon.

Simply because he is not Muslim.

Some states require that a person actually serve time, as a result of sentence, before a conviction can be a true felony, or be used as a sentence enhancer in a subsequent brush with the law. I don’t know Florida law, my experience was much farther west… Somehow, the idea of battery + theft seems to add up to strong-arm robbery in my experience. These “probation only” resolutions are often done for the express purpose of getting an unsolvable problem out of the system; they leave out the “for now” part.

He may not be a true “felon” under strict reading of the law in Florida.

“The arrest of Cesar Sayoc Jr. for the flurry of pipe bombs directed against liberal and left wing icons leaves many questions unanswered. It does seem to put to rest the conspiracy theory of a “false flag” operation organized by the hard left to demonize the hard right or the Trump administration. But we still do not know whether the pipe bombs were intended to kill or merely to frighten. The FBI has determined that these bombs were not hoax devices, but they have not disclosed whether they were capable of lethally exploding. Either way the perpetrator must be condemned in the strongest of terms and tried for serious crimes.

The entire episode brings back painful memories of the Weathermen and other radical left wing organizations that planted bombs in the 1970s. The Weathermen and other radical leftist groups targeted universities, army bases, police officers, banks, and other establishment places and people. The death toll was considerable, and the fear was palpable. At about the same time, the Black Panthers, the Symbionese Liberation Army, and other radical leftist groups terrorized the United States.

So far no one has tried to glorify the arrested person responsible for the recent pipe bombs. Although President Trump has condemned the alleged perpetrator, it would not be surprising if some right wing extremists took perverse pleasure and pride in the attacks on the left wing icons. This is different from how some liberals glorified the Weathermen, Black Panthers, and other hard left terrorists. Left wing lawyers, who would never defend an accused right wing terrorist, rushed to represent these radical groups, while prominent liberals contributed to defense funds and attended fundraising parties. Films, books, plays, and articles sought to understand the motives of these young murderers.
…
The extreme right and the extreme left both have a penchant for lawlessness that fuels violence and terrorism. It is ahistorical to identify such terrorism only with either the hard right or the hard left, though partisans always seem to do that when it serves their own ideological interests. The hard right and the hard left share a distrust of dialogue, an intolerance toward those with whom they disagree, and a willingness to use despicable means to achieve what they believe are desirable ends.

All Americans should condemn terrorism, regardless of its source, but conservatives have a special obligation to condemn right wing terrorism, just as liberals have a special obligation to condemn left wing terrorism. No one should be given a pass. It is not that conservatives are responsible for right wing terrorism or that liberals are responsible for left wing terrorism. The point is that right wing terrorists often falsely claim to be acting on behalf of the conservative agenda. Similarly, left wing terrorists sometimes falsely claim to be acting on behalf of the liberal agenda. It is too easy for conservatives and liberals to condemn the other side.

Both sides have to disassociate themselves from violence on their side of the political spectrum. In the days to come, we will learn more about the alleged perpetrator and his motives. For now, it is enough to applaud law enforcement for the arrest, and for all decent Americans to avoid the temptation to seek partisan advantage from this frightening episode.”

“A short time ago, NBC News published an article with the headline “Pipe bomb suspect Cesar Sayoc is a registered Republican and a Trump fan with a criminal record.”

The descriptions are not entirely false, but they are misleading. Worse yet, they betray NBC’s willingness as a news agency merely to scratch the surface and leave it at that.
If the network’s investigators had bothered to look a little deeper into Sayoc’s political affiliations, they might have found his now-scrubbed bio on MyLife, a social reputation scoring site (h/t Dean Garrison, DC Dirty Laundry), which identifies him as a Democrat.
…
An examination of his Twitter page, also since deleted, would have revealed some unusual preferences for a “Trump fan.” Note from the compilation below that he followed Barack Obama, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, John Oliver, Ellen DeGeneres, Lena Dunham, and CNN Breaking News.
[includes screen shots]
It’s also worth highlighting one of the more prominent Twitter users he didn’t follow: Donald Trump. In fact, he didn’t follow a single conservative on social media. Shouldn’t NBC News be even mildly curious about this seeming contradiction?
…
What’s more, the stickers are a direct violation of Florida driving laws:
How did Sayoc manage to tool around in this vehicle without getting pulled over? And why isn’t NBC News interested in knowing?”

“Interestingly, in spite of the arrests and the rap sheet, Sayoc has never actually been convicted of a felony. That’s why he is eligible to be a registered voter. The Miami Herald had ground truth on that on Friday:
…
(He pleaded to the count, basically, and was awarded the “withhold of adjudication” pending probation and staying clean.)

The MSM have been almost universally depicting Sayoc as a felon. Which is somewhat understandable, given the numerous arrests, but nevertheless sloppy – and comes across as opportunistic.
…
Olson also discovered that Sayoc posted a video of his now-infamous white van on 28 August 2016 – completely free of Trump stickers. Olson finds it interesting that at the height of the 2016 campaign, MAGA-cap-wearing Sayoc didn’t have stickers on the van.

Olson’s account of the shifting evidence on Sayoc’s party registration (see Ben’s post) is worth checking out as well. LU contributor Jeff Dunetz has the Florida record showing that Sayoc registered as a Republican on 4 March 2016. But many Internet sleuths reported that Sayoc’s original MyLife entry listed him as a Democrat on Friday morning. The MyLife entry was then changed dozens of times within moments. Olson watched that pattern live, at the time, and gives approximate time hacks for his findings.”
