UK Embassy singles out Brits in Alicante and Málaga for not getting TIEs
The British Embassy in Spain is calling on British residents specifically within the Málaga and Alicante provinces to exchange their paper green Certificates for a TIE ('tarjeta de identidad de extranjero') urgently. This targeted push follows the publication of data from the Spanish Ministry for Inclusion, Social Security and Migrations which states that Green Certificate ownership is most prevalent within these two provinces where large number of UK nationals reside. It is expected that these individuals will face considerable difficulties when the EU's Entry Exit System comes into force in October this year. Under this new border system, all non-EU passengers crossing into Spain or other EU countries will need to register their name, passport details and biometric data unless they can present a valid uniform-format biometric residency card. For Britons residing in Spain, only a TIE will be accepted by Spanish and EU authorities. The Green Certificate will not be recognised because it does not meet the requirements to feature in Annex 22 of the Schengen Borders Code. As a result, green certificate holders attempting to enter Spain or any other country in the Schengen zone may not have their residency rights recognised and may be wrongly accused of overstaying as a tourist in the EU. This could lead to them being denied entry and returned to the UK. Although there will be an appeals process, it may require the Green Certificate holder to return to the UK until it is resolved. With hundreds of thousands of British nationals - residents and tourists - passing through Alicante and Málaga airports each year, it is particularly imperative that anyone with a Green Certificate in those provinces exchanges it to a TIE as soon as possible, as the majority of residents have already done so. His Majesty's Ambassador Sir Alex Ellis said: 'We have already seen an increase in Brits getting a TIE since our campaign began, which is fantastic news, and we're grateful to the community groups, charities and British people who've helped spread the word. However, there remains a minority of British people still in possession of a Green Certificate so we want to reach them, explain why the TIE is so important and ensure they have one by October, in order to enjoy smooth travel into Spain and the Schengen area.' The British Embassy in Spain has been running a campaign to encourage take up of the TIE since May last year and, most recently, has stepped up activity in the Alicante and Málaga provinces. This has included outreach events and engagements with charities and British groups such as, Age Concern, the Royal British Legion, MABS Cancer Support, Samaritans, Help at Home, various HELP groups and others. The Embassy has also worked with local townhalls and media outlets to spread messages on EES and the TIE and is working with the Spanish Government to increase appointment availability in key areas.

DUI Wolfpack: St. Johns County deputies hunting down drunk drivers during weekend operation
Law enforcement officers are continuing efforts to educate the community about the dangers of driving while under the influence of alcohol and any chemical or controlled substances, and Action News Jax was along for the ride. It's all part of the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office's DUI Wolfpack operation, conducted in partnership with the Florida Highway Patrol. On Friday night, about 15 officers from the two agencies were out patrolling some of the busiest roadways in the county. The 10-hour operation aims to reduce the risk of traffic accidents caused by DUI. [DOWNLOAD: Free Action News Jax app for alerts as news breaks] Action News Jax rode along with Corporal Alex Ellis, with the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office DUI unit. During that ride-along, we watched two traffic stops. One of which ended in a DUI arrest on North Ponce De Leon Boulevard in St. Augustine. Corporal Ellis said they conduct these operations once a quarter, and the last time they did one, there were at least 10 DUI arrests. 'Unfortunately, Jacksonville's metro area is one of the deadliest places in the nation for impaired drivers,' said Ellis. According to crash data from Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, last year there were 63 impaired driving crashes involving alcohol only in St. Johns County. So far this year, that number is 19. Ellis said when they are out patrolling, they're looking for any traffic violations. 'We have skilled officers that through that, detect DUI drivers as well,' said Ellis. Local authorities are reminding all drivers to stay responsible and never drink and drive. The operation continues through 4 a.m. Saturday morning.
