Texas Department of Public Safety - Courtesy, Service, Protection
...a close friend of mine ;) just discovered The Driver Responsibility Law (TRC Chapter 708). As he puts it....
He spent a week being driven to work and to various DPS agency centers and $750 to get his license again. The Texas State trooper [named officer Bristow] also took his license after taking him to jail. He spent the day stripped down to his socks and basic clothes in a cement cell with several other "criminals" of various sorts. He still has to face trial and probably hire a lawyer to pay for his hideous crime of driving while his license was suspended. The DPS clerks said a notice was probably mailed to an old address which, by law, cannot be forwarded to his present address.
Crime fit the punishment? Courtesy, Service, Protection? hmmmmm....
...well basically, my license unbeknownst to me was suspended..... the officer informed me of this after he gave me the speeding ticket and before he handcuffed me and took me to county jail.... turns out a "surcharge" had been added to a ticket of mine 2 years ago... I paid the ticket ok, but they somehow weren't able to inform me of the new law with the surcharge which I was supposed to pay.
shorter version:
arrested for not paying a $250.00 tax added to an old ticket by a new law.
