I just read this article to my wife, who was incredulous that it was only $136 for the original driving without a license charge. She was recently pulled for doing 50 in a poorly-marked 40 and went through the usual pay-a-fine-and-defensive-driving to avoid it going on her record and insurance. She ended up paying $160 or so to expunge the speeding charge. How is driving without a license worth less than a minor speeding violation?

Don't get me wrong — I'm not minimizing the murder at all. My point is that if we had appropriate fines and sentences for egregious traffic violations then maybe other offenses could be prevented. Let alone enforcement of existing immigration law...

I understand exactly what you’re saying and agree.

I don’t care who the cop was they had to know this was an illegal and driving without a license. Should have been locked up and held for deportation.

BTW...The fine and other crud your wife wound up paying was complete BS for a ticket going 10 mph over the limit.
