The state of texas in a whole are a bunch of redneck habitual civil rights violators. I've had several encounters with the powers that be mostly in the city of san antonio. They keep the city downtown clean and nice for tourists by locking people up in the bexar county jail.
They receive money for each head in there, so you know it is overcrowded. The gaurds are abusive and feel as thought they will never get in trouble. The jail has been under investigation but to no avail thanks to the good ole' boys in the rest of the state. They trump up charges in order to extort money out of you and throw the book at anyone that tries to question their authority. I read a quote once that stated that "Absoulute power corrupts absolutly", which is the case in the whole crooked state. I could go on all day about the exploits of the legal system in the state. Not to mention the small hick towns like fort stockton, tx. This city and county located on I-10 right past elpaso.
This county is what you call a tourist trap, they make their own rules and no one seems to care. The department of public safety is just as active a participant in all criminalistic practices as well as the district attorneys, and judges. Someone needs in investigate the whole situation you can talk to just about anyone in their system and they will tell you. These practices needs to stop. Tourists need to stop visiting texas and spending their money their. They are just encouraging these criminalistic practices.
The state of texas in a whole needs to be taught that the good ole' days are over. So in short do not visit the state of texas and do not support the evil.
Welcome to TEXAS. Now go home!
