Ya got to love Dallas. This is needed everywhere. The City of Dallas, Texas passed an ordinance stating that if a driver is pulled over by law enforcement and is not able to provide proof of insurance, the car is towed.
.
To retrieve the car after being impounded, they must show proof of insurance to have the car released. This has made it easy for the City of Dallas to remove uninsured cars.
.
Shortly after the “No Insurance” ordinance was passed, the Dallas impound lots began to fill up and were full after only nine days. Over 80% of the impounded cars were driven by illegals. Now, not only must they provide proof of insurance to have their car released, they have to pay for the cost of the tow, a $350 fine, and $20 for every day their car is kept in the lot.

Guess what? Accident rates have gone down 47% and Dallas’ solution gets uninsured drivers off the road WITHOUT making them show proof of nationality. I wonder how the US Justice Department will get around this one. Just brings tears to your eyes doesn’t it?

Sì, se puede!

Dallas’ fines sure are eye watering. I don’t agree with their high rates and uppity attitudes. I got towed once for “running a stop sign” (I didn’t) and arrested wrongly over a warrant for another man. With insurance, ID, and ample information, I still spent the weekend in jail and had to pay more for my work van than it was worth in impound fees, though no crime was committed and the arrest was bad. That setback hurt me for a year, and made me very distrustful of police and city officials.
Insurance rates are too high since the industry knows they can get away with it.
The problem is crimmigration and should be dealt with on that issue.
Since it won’t, anytime soon, I’ll rejoice at nigrants getting off the road anyway, but without the state addressing the real problem, Jose a and Jose b will just call their abogado and get their junk back in a week like nothing happened.
The whole State of Texas can impound cars for not having insurance. There’s a loophole, but you must have about $50,000 in a secured account, and it leaves you vulnerable to very high costs if you are hit by anyone or blamed even partially for a vehicle collision.
Mark, terrible. Another Texan told me his own stories of the Texas police state.
John, someone wrote a song years ago, ” Welcome to the lone star…police state.”
John, Irving, Texas charged me $425 for “parking on grass” on a disused gravel road by a picnic park.
Mark, OMG, $425! This is designed to keep people poor! ..And if you don’t pay it, they arrest you, you then lose your job (for not showing up for work, from being in jail), your home or apartment is gone because you can’t pay the mortgage or rent, then your marriage breaks up — everything. They tried this on me in Apollo, Pennsylvania, saying I had not paid a $2 (yes) parking ticket. The goal was to either arrest me over the unpaid ticket and/or get me out of town because of me exposing the enormous NUMEC scandal there.
