Charlie Morris, the sheriff of Okaloosa County, Florida, is suing Ford Motor over alleged defects in its Crown Victoria Police Interceptor vehicles. But he also wants the company to sell the county more of the cars. When Ford refused, Sheriff Morris sued asking the court to force the automaker to furnish more vehicles. Circuit Judge G. Robert Barron rejected the suit, saying case law makes clear that companies have a right to avoid dealing with unwelcome customers.
