let me tell you that the DPD are out there waiting for you on lower greenville & deep ellen just to catch people coming out of bars. I know I was one of them and so far I have spent 8,000.00 and over a year later I still have not had my day in court. I had 2 drinks he followed me 6 miles and then stopped me, he wanted the overtime since his shift should have been over. watchout all this is no laughing matter I can not wait to go in front of a jury and say my side. Please if you do get caught DO NOT BLOW.

How DPD Can Get 45 Officers For Free!!! So, why aren't they doing it.... RecentCoin 2007-08-21 12:45 Dallas Police
Well, I did some poking around. MADD is getting $175 per DWI in Dallas [Ed Note: We received a letter from a MADD volunteer taking issue with this figure so we're in the process of verifying it. Supposedly this breaks down to a $150 course taught by MADD and a $25 fee paid to MADD--which the volunteer has disputed.].

There were approximately 10,000 DWI convictions in Dallas last year. That works out to $1,750,000.00. Now, keep in mind that Dallas is in the midst of a crime wave. If that money were funneled into the City's coffers, that would be enough to hire 45 more full time officers at the current starting pay. That's without raising taxes, selling bonds, or dipping into any other programs.

MADD has become a serious gravy train for a lot of people, paying their top ranking people $200,000 and up in salary. The received more than $3,000,000 from "forcing" (their word) people into their "VIP Panels" as part of their sentencing in 2004. I'm sure that those figures were more in 2005 and 2006. The numbers for 2007 are obviously not available yet.

Think about what the City could do if all the money that's going into other pockets were put back into the City. I'm also quite interested in knowing if these "charities" are contributing to the judges election campaigns. So much for a fair and impartial judicial system.

rkisok,

He must be one of the cops in the story, Jessica never backdown, most cops are crooks and we all know it.
