Supreme Court of Florida
POLLOCK v. FLA. DEPT. OF HIGHWAY PATROL, SC99-8, SC99-41
The Highway Patrol assumed a duty to plaintiffs who collided with a vehicle stalled in a road way by assuring the stalled vehicle owner that an officer would be dispatched to the seen. A dispatcher's failure to log the call was not a planning level function, and therefore, sovereign immunity does not apply.
