What a hideous porker
If you do not carry ID on you and do not obey the rules and do not understand the language, you can expect to have problems when someone asks you why you did not obey traffic rules or even to exchange information in an accident.
medical expenses for what?
Is she legal?
The newspaper of course doesn’t know what the words legal or illegal mean.
She should feel humiliated for not having learned English.
exactly
Domingo Garica is the biggest bigot around and he coached the woman, in spanish, to be “ humiliated”
She is pretty typical and all these millions give lie to the theory that immigrants learn English, right away, by second generation for sure.
It is possible to go through 9th grade with all classes in spanish.
Then people whine that we “ failed” because these kids haven’t learned English.
We lost the opportunity to make English our official language and we will regret it
Now she speaks English?
“I felt I’d been looked down on and discriminated against,” she said.
Oh, she’s been trained well. Very well. Who knew a “U” is as good as playing the lottery?
The Dallas PD screwed up and will probably have to cough up some cash. They have dismissed the No English charge as that charge isn’t available by law, and I think they waived or dismissed the driver license charge when she produced hers. I heard a clip this morning of this interview and her attorney said she was a citizen. That I can’t verify.
Dallas PD has written 39 of these citations over the past 3 yrs and will go back and dismiss them and refund any monies collected.
Detain them pending the arrival of an official translator and charge them an extra thousand dollars as a special services fee. Add it to the ticket amount.
She SHOULD feel humiliated if she’s so stupid that she can’t speak the language after being in the country for 30 years. Idiot!
I think getting a ticket for not speaking english, sounds petty to me.
I was never pulled over, but I have rented cars in Italy and Greece, with an international driver’s license. I don’t speak greek and my Italian is barely passable.
Is it not enough that we are becoming a nation of crybabies, that we are having crybabies immigrate as well?
Hey lady - since you’re so “humiliated” get your illegal butt back to your home nation. (And you MUST be illegal, since you’d know rudimentary English had you been naturalized in the proper fashion.)
Here’s the question:
When questioned on why she disobeyed a traffic law, was her response “No habla english.” Because if that was her excuse for not knowing the traffic laws before driving a vehicle, then she should have been ticketed. I don’t give a rats rump about how humiliated she felt.
Cry me a river. Oh, and Learn The Language!
Her daughter was on TV last night saying her mother could not read her ticket and when she read the charges to her mother (illegal u-turn, NO DRIVER’S LICENSE, unable to speak English), her mother was “confused.”
It seems that after the mother got a lawyer, this story has changed.
There. Fixed it.
Mr Salazar really needs to find himself opposed in his next election by someone who has a clue.
What a hideous porker
Did she get a ticket for not speaking English, or did the officer note it on the ticket for future court use. To ensure a translator in court?
