I posted something similar earlier this year, concerning those people killed by illegal drunk drivers. That, as soon as some politician or high level bureaucrat is killed, or one of their family members, something would be done about it.
It's too bad it took several cops being shot for them to wake up to what the average citizen has known for a long time. There are plenty of cops who are just as frustrated as we are with catch-and-release policies, I'm sure. Illegal perps are often treated with kid gloves compared to one of us citizens.
There is a radio ad for car insurance in Tucson that starts out "You're at the stop light. Look at the car on your left. Look at the one to your right. The odds are that in Tucson, one of them is uninsured."
A lot of them are illegals. 50% uninsured is way out of control.
Overall, not much damage done, but enough that her $3000 car may be totaled.
That means we need to find a safe car for a 20 YO to drive with whatever the insurance company decides is FMV, less deductible.
No reimbursement for time or hassle.
