Arrested on fishing without a license charge, is it unusual or not?

I don’t think applpie is looking for correlations. It is pretty straightforward to determine crime rates for any given group (applpie’s “who commits them”) are higher or lower than the norm, no correlation with other indicator variables is needed.
Of course, it is very non-PC to report crime rates using racial or ethnic identifiers...

N.C. Wildlife Resources officer J.R. Brown. He used his noggin, followed his instincts and arrested the men when they couldn't provide valid identification - even though it meant a lot of paperwork for him.

He did the right thing within the law, and his instincts were proven correct when it came back that these fellows were in our country illegally. For the vast majority of illegals, they are not going to show up for court dates, because it would put them at risk of 1) being found out as illegals, and 2) deportation.

Thank you, Officer Brown!

He said that not having identification should not be grounds for arrest. "I am not aware of any requirements under the law to require someone to carry an ID," he said, adding that based on the officer's account, some of the men did provide identification from their country of origin. "Perhaps the officer thinks he is an expert in international documents," he said.

The men produced Mexican and Central American IDs, plus a fake Cali ID, and had no local ID or addresses. Easy case to me: Call ICE, and deport them.

Quislings like the traitor in the above quote should be horsewhipped for assisting the illegal alien invasion.

Rossi said he didn't think that the fact that all the men arrested were Hispanics was a coincidence.

Their ethnicity was immaterial. Their inability to speak English and the fact they carried non-citizen or phony IDs was critical.

Thank goodness they were finally caught.

Deport them all.

>Is it still illegal to go cat-fishing with explosives?<

My neighbor would almost certainly get upset if I tossed a stick of dynamite over the fence at her cat. Is it illegal? I don’t know.

Easy case to me: Call ICE, and deport them.

Had ICE been involved it would have been a "Catch and Release" situation.

[B4Ranch]

Why would you cite someone if you weren't positive of their name and address?

Calling an illegal alien an "undocumented immigrant"
is like calling a drug dealer an "unlicensed pharmacist ".

[FlashBack]

All passed the legal-size limits too!!!

[Stonewall Jackson]

There isn’t a catch limit when fishing for illegals, just like there isn’t a quota on terrorist hunting licenses.

Good for N.C. Wildlife Resources officer J.R. Brown. Sounds like he caught his limit of illegals.

Brown is lucky that Johnny Sutton isn't in that district.

Examples please. It’s easy to spout off here but harder to back up your statements with actual facts.

As for driving without a license, did it ever occur to you that people who don’t know our driving laws put EVERYBODY on the road in danger including themselves?

Lady, just a week or so ago, a lady here in Mebane was stopped with an EXPIRED, note I said EXPEIRED in both post, license. No insurance. EXPIRED tag. She DROVE away with a ticket.

These guys were arrested for no FISHING license. The story said they had no license among them. They were no caught or charged with operating a motor vehicle with no license.

Learn to read woman, or Monte in drag.

No fishing license is a prime example.

Expired license is another, usually a ticket, not jail.
Expired inspection is another.

There are a lot of things people are getting locked up for.

I do not have the time to argue with someone who can’t read, you are dismissed!

You seem to have difficulty understanding the difference between having a valid, verified NC resident’s address (as was the case with the Mebane woman, even though it expired) and not having any verifiable, legal residence whatsoever (as was the case with the five illegal aliens). The Officer explained the five illegals had no verifiable address and posed a definite flight risk for any citation issued and it was his duty to deter them, with incarceration if need be. Or didn’t you bother to read that part? Don’t worry, it appears Ehber Rossi has the same dysfunctional cerebral response.

READING IS FUNDAMENTAL.

Comparing a legal resident of the state with an expired license to an illegal alien who is a certain flight risk is not using good judgement because any STATE ISSUED DRIVER LICENSE number has an ADDRESS and now a SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER associated with the NAME, whether the license is revoked, expired, or even lost.

The Officer did his job and did it well. We should make a note of an accusatory tone of racism from your “Mainly Brown people,” comment. For your information, because some 98% or more of illegal aliens who steal/have stolen their way into the US have Mexican or Latin American origins, and because some who have chosen to be here illegally eventually end up getting caught when checked for any host of unrelated issues does not make Officers prejudiced nor does it make others racist for pointing out those facts. The DHS’s own statistics as reported by the US Border Patrol on apprehensions by nationality attest the 98% - READ IT. So GUESS WHAT? that statistically makes the chance of crossing paths with one who entered the US illegally “BROWN”, by your definition. If you want to insinuate racism toward Brown people, might I suggest you begin lodging your complaint with Chertoff and the DHS for issuing their numbers?

You are now dismissed as well.
