Woman has lived in the US for 30 years and apparently doesn't speak any English. Ticketed for illegal U-Turn and no drivers license. Also noted on the ticket was inability to comprehend English.

The left is big on distorting facts. The most probable cause for the officer to write that on the ticket is because he had trouble understanding her and wanted to point out the reason for any confusion. He wasn't giving her a ticket for not speaking English, although I think the laws should read that you can't get a drivers license unless you can speak Englis, but that is up to individual states.

At any rate the left has blown this all out of proportion and buried the real facts of why she was ticketed, and I hope the Dallas police department goes to court on this.

Yes the officer wrote a ticket for not speaking English and for not having her DL on her while driving. DPD has written 39 of those not speaking English tickets in the last 3 years. They are in error as the English speaking applies to commercial licenses/vehicles only. They are now going back and dimissing those tickets and refunding any monies collected for them.
