Traffic Travesties:

Anyone who drives I-95 realizes that everyone speeds on that highway and that the road is clearly safe at a rate of speed far above that which is posted. Still that doesn't spoil these officers' fun as they take to the sky to enforce arbitrary malum prohibitum laws. "'It's like shooting fish in a barrel,' says Stiles, a smile creasing his face."

Latinos are lured here to do jobs we won't and then we refuse to give them the license to drive which is needed in the U.S. They have no choice but to drive and in turn get convicted - time and again - for driving without a license. “'They can’t get licenses, but whether we are really deterring them (from driving) is another question,' said Winchester’s interim city attorney, Elizabeth Muldowney. 'It’s just that work and family take precedence.'" Of course, this isn't an issue only for Latinos but they do seem to get hit harder.

This officer has the most DUI arrests for the last year and has been caught lying about the number of DUI arrests he has made in the past. But we should believe him when he claims "he doesn't hang out near bars, as some have alleged." Note how later in the article it talks about how he started an organization which put up signs in areas wherein DUI's are prone to occur and how during the stop several of those signs were passed. Hmmm . . . Must have just been a coincidence that night.
