The e-mail claims new recruits are being ordered to drive around with their lights off. When another driver flashes their headlights, as a courtesy, the gang wannabes are supposed to follow that car and kill everyone inside.
One version of the official looking e-mail bears the Miami-Dade County logo and appears to be sent by a Building Code Compliance Supervisor named Jose Lezcano. [...]

"You're right," responded Larry Dunklee. "That is happening."
Dunklee is the second in command in the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office, and is hoping his experience and in-house knowledge will get him elected sheriff as boss Bill Balkwill steps down.

The crowd buzzed with this shocking news. [...]
