Texans pay your tickets

Been hearing about a crackdown on open warrants.

Pull into office parking lot this morning.

Two of Texas finest cuffing and carting of a woman from the building next door.

Get your tickets paid, they know where to find you.

I guess it's way easier to go after cooporative, non-violent citizens than those pesky, uncooporative, violent illegals. Pays better too.

They have the same thing going on in San Antonio, but I think it has to do with bad checks.

They do this every year or so in Texas. Nothing really new about it. I don't think they're allowed to round up illegals BTW.

Yes. One generates revenue, one depletes it.

Paying your tickes is good advice in any state. I was riding as a passenger once when a friend was stopped for running a red light. He was handcuffed and hauled away because of several unpaid tickets going back many years.

Yet not many folks see anything wrong with this. However, if some poor schmuck is stopped for running a red light and is found to be here illegally, the hand-wringing ninnies will raise holy hell if we cuff 'em and haul 'em away. What on Earth has gone wrong with us? How did it ever come to this?

They do it for deadbeat dads the day of or day before Christmas here in Arizona. Works pretty good...
