(Castillo, who was stopped on his way back to California)
What a surprise this trucker was en-route back to his home state, Mexifornia, where if you speak English you're either racist, prejudice or both.

As long as California has its’ way, this will never happen. Most citations given to Mexican drivers are never paid and all the driver has to do is get another license under another name. This doesn't only pertain to Mexican drivers either. Many middle eastern drivers run with up to four drivers in the truck and only one has a license. The rest of them run under the ‘legal’ drivers’ license. I have personally seen this and have been told, by cops I used to work with, that this is an ongoing problem. Most officers will only stop truckers that are white, black or look like they will be able pay for the citations. Why bother with the people the state won't get any money from and waste court time.

We got stopped for speeding a couple of years ago in Bama - 15 miles over the speed limit. Had a choice, follow the officer to the court and pay the fine or follow the officer and spend the night at the jail. Leaving and coming back for a court date wasn’t one of our choices. So why can’t they do that with these guys? I’m sure there are plenty of JP’s who would be happy to reconvene court long enough to slam the gavel and show the perp to the collection window??? $500 is nothing to sneeze at.
