Title: Its illegal not to speak English
Post by: Wizzo on December 15, 2009, 01:15:45 AM

In the past three years, at least 39 drivers in Dallas have been ticketed by police officers for the "offence" of being "a non-English speaking driver," according to a Dallas Morning News investigation in October.

The software for officers' in-car computers features a tick box with 'non-English speaking driver' next to it, perhaps leading officers to believe it constituted a separate traffic offence rather than merely an indication that the motorist might not have understood an officer's instructions.  :DD

The police chief expressed shock at the report and promised to end the practice.

Dallas is my least favorite place in the known universe! It's the main reason that most of the rest of the country pronounce the name of that state "Tex-sucks."  :sick:
