That's like calling the police when you get ripped off on a drug deal that's happened before.

[@largol33t12]

Um, it has happened before. A moron walked into a police station and dropped a bag of dope on the counter. He was enraged because the dope was cut with sugar and baby powder and wanted the dealer arrested! I would love to see the look on the desk sergeant's face when he said that. PS: they did test the stuff. It was 50% pure coke. And he was arrested for possession of an illicit substance. I have no idea if they caught the dealer.

[@Big_Daddy_CorkUSMC]

@@largol33t12 lol. I used to be a cop at one time in my life but I never really had anything funny like that happened but other things. But it was a rural community and it wasn't an inner-city thing. Blood beer and broken glass. That's what I used to call it.

[@ask_why000]

He tried so hard to Zoom in for that court hearing. Bless his little heart. Clearly he can operate a vehicle safety... so, what is the problem? Also, having someone arrested for Driving While Revoked (unless it's in combination with an OWI or DWI charge) is a waste of a jail cell. Just fine him 100 dollars. ... because the next thing you know cops will be crying about how overcrowded jails are... well, stop taking people to jail for silly non-violent offenses! And if that judge doesn't think that man is going to DRIVE down to turn himself in, well, than he's delusional.

[@chuckrhodes3217]

[@Dawn-zo2ny]

Well, the illegal migrants don't even need licenses and there are often different rules for them...Twi-tier policing...i don't know the details of this, but if the guy can drive safely to get to the court appearance, i think jail without bond is too harsh...i mean murderers get bond sometimes, so i think it's too harsh just for driving...Especially if there are different rules for the illegals and the US citizens have to pay a higher price over them...
