"An officer has to know the elements of an offense or what's necessary to constitute a crime," Kunkle said. "In this case it appears that officers did not understand."
Yeah...39 times.

that's so messed up, 204$ fine for not speaking english.
although i can understand why it is a requirement for commercial drivers.

Not news. I don't care anymore.
no habla
In that case and perhaps the others, officials said, the officer was confused by a pull-down menu on his in-car computer that listed the charge as an option. But the law the computer referred to is a federal statute regarding commercial drivers that Kunkle said his department does not enforce.
Bromley, 33, is a trainee officer in the northeast patrol division, meaning he still works with a training officer during every shift. His training officer on that day was Senior Cpl. Daniel Larkin, 53.

So noobs misunderstood a database entry. Sounds like a training issue to me. The supervising officers should have known better.
thats fantastic

If it's not intuitive that non-English is not a crime, not even a civil offense, than this officer needs a worldview adjustment. Especially under supervision, this shouldn't happen.
yep, that's Dallas for ya...
DWM? Driving While Mexican?
You'd think officer would piece together that if the driver has a driver's license and doesn't speak English, it's legal to drive and not speak English.
well i for one am happy that someone is doing something about the problem of immigration.
I feel so much safer now that non-english speakers have been fined.
Thanks Dallas!

People who complain about where they live but refuse to move away are ridiculous.
Man..I hope these guys get ticketed when they go overseas and aren't able to speak the language :D
Ticketing seems wrong, but learn the f*cking language of what ever country you want to LIVE in. I just missed an accident, a cop showed up and teh old Korean lady , which had a license, could not speak enough englich to explain to the cop what had happened. I was going to walk over their and try to help her explain then I thought, F her. Learn the language. I wouldn;t mind if she was visiting, even a long visit, but if your gonna live here..... Same if I was to move to another country to live, I would learn their language. Go to almost any other country and you have to learn their language, or english. Signs are always in their native and usually in english. But here in the states, nope, you get english and spanish. Rant over.

The same could be said for Northerners. I am from Dallas by the way. Fortunately for you, my southern draw doesn't come through here.
I have two thoughts on this. One, there are so many fucking by-laws, citations, laws etc etc on the book that I don't blame any of the officers for ticketing. If the lawbook (their computer) says they have to speak English they should be ticketing those who don't. If every cop thought "Hm, Do I agree with that law? Does it make sense?" before they decided to enforce it or not, everything would go out the shitter. It sounds like it was nothing but a computer glitch. %0.0000325 of the time is not a fucking issue.
Completely aside from that. I think people SHOULD have to speak English (or whatever the official language of the State/City/Province/Country is) to be able to drive, or be awarded any kind of government help. I work at an Optometrist's office, and we get a lot of Muslim folk (who are nice as can be, so fuck off with the racism shit) who come in with their government papers for their free glasses. 90% of them can't speak either English or French (Canada. You've got double the options for learning a language, pick one!). If you're going to come to a country and live off the system, or even USE the system in any way, the fucking LEAST you can do is learn the language and actually take part in the general society that you've decided is wonderful enough to move your entire family to.

That crap wouldn't go down in Oak Cliff. Sounds like it's the ritzy part of Dallas.

hahahahaha selfowned
Me fail English? That's unpossible!
I think Spanish should be the official language of the US. It is a much easier language and I think it sounds better. Plus it would be a laugh riot watching the South resist the change. I am calling my Senator tomorrow.
I agree that US should adopt another official language. I also agree that people who immigrate into a country should learn at least one of that country's official languages, but fining someone because they don't speak the language is retarded

Typical Dallas bullshit. More than half the natives in that hick dustbowl in the south can barely form sentences without weird slurred punctuation like "y'all". These shitbags don't realize there would be no precious "tex-mex" without the Mexicans involved. Yet, every one of these badge wearing pricks feels like they're not only upholding the law, but also protecting their sacred borders.
Fuck all of Texas. If they're not finding new highs in lows in law enforcement up north, everyone else flocks south to Austin to get their dirtbag trucker hat hipster life on. Bottom line is that nobody likes you, nobody cares that you're from Texas. You're just a bunch of dumb hillbillies with a chip on your shoulders.
Go die, already.

You don't need the comma after 'go die' you can just say 'go die already.' If you're going to insult me, use proper grammar.

Ouija: Congratulations for further cementing my long-term goal of sinking California via a number of nuclear warhead detonations along the San Andreas!
Your post portrays your character as everything that is wrong and retarded about people in that state. Being filled with such a great bunch of elitist, tree hugging fuckwits, I can't imagine how the state hasn't exploded into one massive pansy-slap fight. Hmm... perhaps isolated pockets of slap fights caused the fires that only further decimated the tree population. Now see what you've done!?
Either way, you have proven yourself to be easily as closed-minded, superficial and elitist as any cop that would give someone a ticket for not speaking English could be. Now, please saw off your least-used appendage with a steak knife (assuming you aren't a vegan, which you probably are) and bleed to death. Otherwise, enjoy being hundreds of feet below the Pacific in a few years!

Starting a rant about being close-minded, superficial, and elitist by saying you want to sink all of California, implying that this sort of thing is the norm, doesn't exactly help your argument.

That entire post of mine was a direct, satirical response to Ouija and meant to sound ironic and/or hypocritical. Fighting fire with fire to promote understanding of one's own misguided position and whatnot.

A little common sense goes s along way. I can only hope and pray that you're trying to be "funny" with your statement. Would you prefer that all the following laws were also enforced?
[thanks associatedcontent.com]
In Little Rock, Arkansas, any flirtation on city streets between men and women could garner you 30 days in jail.
In Tombstone, Arizona, it's illegal for citizens over the age of 18-years-old to have more than one tooth missing when smiling.
In the state of Alabama, if you put salt on a railroad track, death is the punishment.
In California, it's a misdemeanor to shoot at game from a moving vehicle, with the exception of a whale.
In Fairbanks, Alaska, it is against the law to feed alcohol to moose.
In Denver, Colorado, dog catchers are required, for 3 days straight, to post notifications on trees in the city park and public road running through the park that notifies dogs of impounding.
In some parts of Connecticut, it's illegal for fire trucks to go over 25 mph, at any time.
In Lewes, Delaware, it's unlawful to wear pants with a firm-fitting waist.
In the state of Florida, showering naked is considered to be an offense.
In Georgia, it's against the law to keep a donkey in a bathtub.
In Hawaii, you are not allowed to put coins in your ears.
And that's just page one of four. Should I continue, or are you going to call your local law enforcement agency and demand they start citing everyone for every stupid law on the books?
