Every Friday, Riptide brings you the most eye-catching mugshots taken the previous week (or thereabouts) in Miami-Dade County. Yes, there is some mockery of bad neck tattoos, but also adulation directed at perps who just plain look more badass than we ever will. This is the italicized intro to that series. For mugshots from Broward and Palm Beach, check out The Pulp.

You know, the next time Miami-Dade County is facing a budget shortage, they should consider creating a reality show to raise money. Miami's Next Top Neck Tattoo, they could call it, and it could be casted entirely from soon-to-be felons. This guy probably has a heartwarming and inspiring story behind his tattoo, about family and love and perseverance. Then again, he did try to steal an ambulance.
