JACKSONVILLE, Fla.- It is a new year in the Sunshine State and on Florida's roadways there are some new laws in effect.

To start, say you want to flash your headlights to warn other drivers about nearby police.

"Just to alert," said Kim Rolfe, of Jacksonville. "It's just a courtesy to let other driver's know 'Hey, you're about to pass a cop.'"

Before the new year, that was illegal in Florida.

"I did not know that that was illegal!" Rolfe shouted with a laugh. "I thought I was just doing something nice for my fellow drivers!"

As of January 1, 2013, it's now legal, after the state legislature cleared up the law.

"So, it could be a good law to aide in safety," William Lee, of St. Augustine, said Tuesday morning. "So, I think it's good."

If you're ever in an accident, there's another law you should know about. It's about the personal injury protection (PIP) portion of your Florida policy.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Detectives with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office are looking for a man who allegedly robbed a mandarin CVS around 7:45 Sunday morning.

Shannon Hartley, Public Information Officer for the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, said police responded to the CVS Pharmacy located at 9509 San Jose Blvd. to reports of a robbery.

When police arrived they learned the man attempted to buy cigarettes.  Hartley said once the clerk opened the cash register the man ordered him to give him the money from inside the register.

Hartley said the alleged robbery reached into his pocket as if he had a weapon.

After the clerk gave the man the money from the register, Hartley said he fled the area on foot.

Anyone with any information that may be able to help police is asked to contact the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office at 904-630-0500 or via email at JSOCrimeTips@jaxsheriff.org.
