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.
I heard only “commercial drivers” must have a command of the English language. It is why the option appeared on the officers computer screen as a ticketing option.
“No English charge as that charge isn’t available by law”
I heard from my former DPD son-in-law that commercial drivers DO have to speak English and can get a ticket for it when stopped for something else.
30 years in the country and doesn’t speak the language - That wouldn’t be tolerated in europe.
An inability to read English should be sufficient cause to charge for driving recklessly. Maybe she will come to that conclusion when she sails past the sign that says ‘Danger Bridge Out’!
