A lot of my friends know how much I hate police officers that stand on the side of the road with their radar guns, seeking to pull someone over in order to up their ticket quotas for the month. Cops who participate in this practice are a bunch of pussies. If they were real cops, they’d drive around in their cars or on their motorcycles and pull people over that way. Standing out in the middle of the road and waving down motorists who they think they caught on their radar guns is shameful and sickening.

But now, police have another way of getting money from everyday citizens who are just trying to get to work, their kids to school, or picking up food for dinner. I’m talking about the obscured license plate law.

Though it’s been on the books for years, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals recently upheld the law, and now, you law-abiding citizens that have license plate frames around your back plate can get pulled over and ticketed.

Here’s the story in the Dallas Morning News.

As my co-worker said, “Thank god they’re cracking down on this because that must mean that all the drug dealers and murderers have been caught.”

Fellow Texans, if you disagree with this law please visit Texas Legislature Online, locate who represents you, and write her or him. Let your voice be heard. Remember, there are more of us than there are of cops.
