Hey, if we don't soon have MULTI lingual cops, the *only* convictions will be against the *English speakers*......

"Across the Triangle, judges are finding motorists not guilty of drunken driving and refusal charges because law enforcement officials weren't able to read their rights or guide them through sobriety tests in Spanish. No one keeps statistics on how many cases are lost because of language barriers, but police, judges, prosecutors and defense lawyers say it's increasingly common."
btw.....also read in CA judges have *spanish only* court days. If your there for 'driving w/o license', the judge will let you go free, until *after* your (months away) appointment with the INS office. (I guess, *citizens* (on English days) Just get to PAY their FINE.)
Yeah, the California deal is NOT to enforce most traffic laws against illegals. They have no license, no real identity, no money, no insurance. Too much trouble.
One other really politically incorrect issue: It's genetic. Most Mexican illegals have a heavy component of Indian in their genetic make-up, and many AmerIndians have a genetic intolerance to alcohol, having a statistically very high chance of lacking the enzyme which eventually converts it into safer by-products. This genetic intolerance to alcohol frequently occurs in Russians, Scandinavians, and various other gene pools, too. Simply a fact of life. Anyone who has seen the seamier side of Mexico knows that are neighbors to the south seem not to be happy drinkers. Watch your step south of the border.
