Bubba I understand your being aggrivated over unlicenced/un-insured drivers and tho I dont live there now, I spent pretty much all my life in W. Kansas to know that the biggest majority of the unlicenced/un-insured are the illegal immigrants. Thats not racist or biased, thats just simple fact. I also understand the problems the cops have as far as catching the unlicenced/un-insured because yeah, the cop does have to have more than just a "gut feeling" to pull someone over, needing "probable cause" that sooner or later does happen like a mud covered or unreadable licence plate, a burned out tail light, yadda, whatever it takes, and then things can run the proper legal course. It cant be just from profiling that the cop gets to pull someone over even though I know that DOES happen. Speaking of profiling, I dont recall who it was on here mentioned what they went by when giving a driver a little "extra attention" was the age and condition of the vehicle they are driving (profiling) where I kinda wish at times that I could be around a cop now and then who uses the bum car profile excuse to pull me over. Reason being is that due to circumstances waaay beyond my control, im no longer able to buy a newer vehicle, the one I have now being a (for real) little old lady car, an old Chevy Caprice that is in good shape mechanically and the interior is very good (hey, the AC, radio and Heater works all right?) but the old girl that I got it from (the price was right at the time, I had to pay the new title fee of $7.50, the tight old witch!haha!) I think had hit every solid object she could find, just beat the hell out of the car so for that fact along with everything in Yankeeland being rusted to hell and gone inside 5yrs, my old beater would profile right in! In fact just for giggles I wish they would also have a drug dog handy because if you add the appearance of my dented and rusted beater with me having a beard and a ponytail thats long enough that I can sit on it when braided makes me a pretty good bet on being unlicenced and un-insured, right? WRONG! Im perfectly legal with all needed documents - for the time being anyway because everything is coming due to renew pretty soon which is going to be yet another financial puzzle for a cripple.
One thing I also want to mention is that Illegals would love it in Yankeeland when it comes to vehicle tags and registration is that a current, legal drivers licence OR proof of insurance are NOT required here for someone to tag a vehicle! Yeah thats for real, seen it done. They go up to the desk with either a new title or the tag renewal paperwork and as long as they check the little box that says "yup, I gots insurance" and pay the few bucks for the new tag or sticker, out the door they go.
