A St. Johns County, FL, homeowner who was asked by her homeowners association to remove a Blue Lives Matter flag from the outside of her home a month ago has now found a new way to get the message across.
A projector is now beaming the flag onto the homeowner's Samara Lakes garage at night instead of having it hung from a flagpole attached to the home, WOKV TV reports.
"It doesn’t seem to quite be covered that a projector from a vehicle projecting on your garage door is a violation of the HOA,” says Jeff Gaddie, the father of the homeowner. Gaddie added that the flag honors him and other member of the family in law enforcement.

VIDEO: SC Deputy Placed on Leave After Fatal Collision with Speeding Motorcyclist
The Berkeley County (SC) Sheriff's Office has released video of a high-speed pursuit that ended with the death of the pursued motorcyclist. The Wednesday night pursuit lasted more than five minutes and the involved deputy has been placed on leave.
The video footage appears to show the deputy's patrol vehicle hit the motorcycle twice during a crash that officials attributed, in part, to the rider's sharp braking.
Robert Lee Clark Jr., 30, of Goose Creek lost control after colliding with the deputy's SUV and hit another car. He died at the scene. He was not wearing a helmet, the Post and Courier reports.
In a report, the deputy said he was looking out for speeding motorists on College Park Road when he noticed the motorcycle going 66 mph in a 45-mph zone.
"Speeds reached ... 111 mph at times with the motorcyclist slamming on the brakes and then speeding away several times," Chief Deputy Mike Cochran added in the sheriff's statement.
