With so many criminals, cruel people and drug addicts, that star basically marks people as easy targets for fraud, scam, deception, robbery or worse. Displaying personal private medical information so publicly is never a good idea. However, a big thumbs up for having the information on file so dispatchers can alert deputies when responding to a residence.

On one hand, it would help Law Enforcement Officers. On the other hand, I am very concerned this may lead to harassment of autistic drivers by the general public. There are some who would try to cause an autistic driver to crash or provoke them into something stupid. I feel this is very well intentioned and the Escambia County Police will be working on this.
