Neither of the articles linked in #25 were about Texas. I have lived in Texas all my life and I deserved every ticket I've ever gotten. Don't break the laws and the cops won't bother you.
glad this has been true for you... but not true for everybody...
I will be forced to burst your bubble about the wonderful and benevolent nature of the Texas DOT. Many of you tax payers continue to vote to support and fund these criminal organizations like the Texas DOT because you just don't know the truth. That's not your fault. But now you will know so no excuses from here on out:
Texas and Oklahoma both have a 24000 pound gvw threshold for cdl. The Federal is 10000 pounds but the State limits are enforced State by State. BUT if you drive through Texas with Oklahoma tags pulling a commercial trailor or generator the Texas DOT will stop and weigh you. They will hold you to the Federal 10000 pound thresh-hold because you have Oklahoma plates. So tell me. Is this about safety??? Are these wonderful defenders of freedom in the TX DOT making the world safe for nuns and children? Are they runing a criminal enterprise in your name? Do you support the 500 dollar fines in your name? Do you believe that's the right thing to do? Stealing from passing motorist is being done in your name by the State of Texas. Does that make you proud? Does that instill confidence that as long as you are doing nothing wrong you don't have to fear your government? Do you still want to get preachy? 500 bucks. That money is transfered from productive members of society to the non productive at the point of a gun in your name. Does that make you feel proud?
That's just one example of many. The only reason this stuff goes on in all fifty States is because people like you give the government unwarranted prestige and because it is not happening to you. Search and seizure and probable cause mean NOTHING. Yet “you” people believe the government is essentially benevolent, but with a few bad apples. So you turn a blind eye. You continue to fund it and vote “responsibly”. You are funding a criminal enterprise.
So now you know. That's one example, I have lots more. No more excuses. Now you know.

I was pulled over and threatened with jail unless I gave the cop cash near Fort Worth. Yes. Cash.
Yes little Polly Anna, the cops will bother you for no reason (or little reason).
