These are among the 120 organizations, causes and career paths commemorated by specialty Florida license plates. And while alumni of the University of Florida and Florida State claim the top sales spots, the $15-to-$25 fees paid for the tags help support a host of groups around the state.

Example:

The "Helping Sea Turtles Survive" plate, which typically battles with FSU for the No. 2 spot, brought in more than $1.4 million from its 62,500 buyers in 2012. So far, it's promised more than $311,000 in grants for the next fiscal year, mostly to university researchers studying sea turtles.

Stopping to steal beer while running away from cops may sound silly, but this is South Florida.

The police chase ended with Andrew Fatzinger, 21, of Port St. Lucie, taken to a hospital after tussling with a police K-9, authorities said.
