Very few pocs where I live. Plenty of broken taillights, etc though. Lol.
I was once stopped by the officer because of my stop light did not work.
I was not aware of it, and I could go like that for a while.
I got warning in very professional way, went on and fixed it.
No problem!
Why is this bad?
Are sheriffs in NC elected or appointed? It sounds like the good citizens of Mecklenburg County have voted themselves some nifty insurance premium increases.
DemWit stupidity, no longer enforcing the law.
DemWit max stupidity, announcing that to the public.
I had to recheck that this story was no from the bee.
Up until the early 90s Charlotte was ok.
And look, is shooting a gun sideways out of a moving car really that dangerous?
Remember that a lot of lesser traffic offenses are strictly money making rackets by local governments. Think the chaos that are red light cameras.
Lesser offenses take away from the police doing more important work. However, policing the real stuff *costs* money.
There was a Sheriff in Florida who noted that a high percentage of drivers in the state did not have a valid license to drive. And there were so many serious offenses out there, especially DUI, that risked people’s lives, that it was stupid to arrest a good driver with no license, instead of dangerous ones with a valid license.
A loud chorus then told him to shut up.
Our Democrat Mecklenburg County Sheriff doing what Democrat Sheriffs do. He also does not cooperate with the Feds on immigration...not that that’s an issue for the Feds anymore.
I do have to say though...I rarely, very rarely see a Sheriff’s Deputy with anybody pulled over. They mostly serve eviction notices and slow-walk CCW permit approvals.
“Charlotte NC is a cesspool of woke liberals. It is disgusting to see what this once great city was.”
True dat. I live here, can’t wait to get the hay out of here. With 2 out of 3 voters having voted for Biden, I feel surrounded by the enemy.
The sheriff’s office said this change in policy is part of an effort to address racial inequality that they said is apparent in traffic stops.
Translation: The sheriff is saying that black people are the ones who commit these violations most, so enforcing the regulations is discriminatory. If I were a law abiding black, I'd be fuming about that.
Elected.
Just make sure he's DEAD...otherwise you' pay for his lifetime care, instead of a cheaper one-time penalty.
(Is the < /sarc > tag really necesary?)
From what I can see of the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office they ought to cut out the donuts for breakfast and pizza for lunch. It’s a wonder some of them can get behind the wheel.
I’ve had that happen late at night and the pedestrian is dressed in black with a black hoodie on.
Maybe PoC should get their cars inspected, keep up with registrations, fix broken taillights and pretty much just obey the law. Apparently, that’s too much to ask.
I am in Lake Wylie.
