Earlier this year (April 2011) Chief Charlie Beck of the Los Angeles Police ordered a change of policy at LAPD “sobriety checkpoints,” where drivers are pulled over to be checked for intoxication. Formerly, a driver found to be unlicensed had his car impounded for 30 days whether he was sober or drunk.
Now, only U.S. citizens and legal residents will have their cars impounded. Illegal immigrants get a pass! The chief’s logic is that citizens and residents have the chance to get a license, while “undocumented immigrants” do not, and so cannot be blamed for their transgression.
Can you believe the idiocy of this?
The chief’s new policy met with applause from at least one quarter. Mexican council general Juan Carlos Mendoza, said “We really support this initiative by Chief Beck because it’s in favor of the Latino community.”
Yeah, no kidding. We wonder why.
What about equal opportunity under the law?
What about the rights of AMERICAN CITIZENS and those law abiding immigrants who came here and played BY THE RULES?
Talk about vote pandering and political correctness running amuck.
