1. State Patrol monies are completely separate from city/county coffers. Most revenue for DPS tickets actually go to the local counties so they’re already funneled into local priorities. Law Enforcement is just not a priority for many large cities, especially sanctuary cities. That isn’t the cop’s fault cause he has no control over that. Those are your elected officials’ faults. Hold them accountable.

Also, since you seem to be uninformed about a lot of things. Speeding and other traffic violations (including illegal lane changes) cause more deaths on the highway than DWI/DUI and all other causes combined each year.

2. No, because I am also an Oath Keeper and the anti-gun laws go against the Constitution. The traffic laws do not go against the Constitutions. The laws requiring her to follow lawful, reasonable orders does not go against the Constitution. You’re comparing oranges to apples.

3. I’ll bet he isn’t off of the force and even if he leaves DPS, he’ll land another job at another department. I promise you that. Yes, Houston has a lot of black people and so does south Dallas, but whites and conservatives still greatly outnumber them, which is why they don’t riot in TX.

4. You are wrong on so many levels with this one. First of all, you can refuse to answer, but then the cop has the right to check your history, background, etc. Second, a cop can pull you out of the car for ANY reason. SCOTUS has already upheld that so you have no recourse for suing. If you get combative, then you’ll just go to jail. Staying in your car and/or being combative are NOT your civil rights. So again, no recourse for suing. Finally, you can’t sue the cop in TX personally if he has not violated the law. He is immune due to a broad good faith clause in the law. That is the same in most States.

Again, you are showing your ignorance of the law and law enforcement.

1.State monies is from the taxpayer. There is only so much you can get from them. It is a pie. If people perceive they are not getting true law enforcement, then the slice of the pie the SP gets will decrease, because most people are not going to vote for tax increases. Therefore, the SP should strive to avoid angering the public by enforcement if nit pick laws.
2. Asking me where I am going, is a violation of my 4th amendment rights. That would constitute a forced verbal search.
The only reason why you cops get away with asking the question of
drivers whereabouts, with no probable cause, is because it has not been judged in front of SCOTUS. The whole thing is like a stop and frisk in NY, without the frisk, and it was deemed unconstitutional there. Stopping me for changing a lane, or speeding does not give you the right to ask me where I am going, unless you have probable cause to determine that I am involved in drugs.
