Our county arrests for no drivers license and no insurance. The arrestee also has to bail out their car from impound.
Really? The person was breaking the law and hurt someone else. The cost alone, of being cuffed and stuffed, would make the person think twice...Maybe.
I believe that I would have been pushing for the cop to do more, if he still didn't, I would be speaking with a supervisor.Beats the hell out of me! My niece was rear ended, her car totaled and she was hospitalized for 2 days. The guy who hit her was a probable illegal according to the cop, he had no license, not even an ID, no insurance, and supposedly didn't speak any english. Not only was he not arrested but he wasn't even cited. The cop said it would be a waste of time as he wouldn't pay it or show up in court anyway! Can you believe that crap?
If this were true, should even a simple seat belt bruise, air bag burn, whiplash, or other minor soft tissue injury be an arrestable offense?
Do you work for a for-profit prison or something? Sheesh.
Remember, we elected the people that took the suggestion from the Ins. industry that there should be a law requiring ins. Those same people were either stupid or bought off when they did not put a requirement in the law that required the ins. company to notify the state when a policy was canceled either by them or the customer. Upon notification the state would have a time limit placed on them to visit the person with canceled ins. and confiscate his license plate. It wouldn't take long to stop some of the nonsense once people realized there were consequences to their stupidity.
I wonder if the state making us buy car ins. is un-constitutional
Here is where we differ in opinion. I see things in black and white, not gray.
