If they are, I sure would like to know what statute requires it. If they are not, then why should the Austin PD be criticized for not doing what they are not requred to do?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-44423340257153089142009-09-18T13:09:39.948-05:002009-09-18T13:09:39.948-05:00This coming from the Chief who is deciding not to ...This coming from the Chief who is deciding not to enforce the law against illegal aliens because he feels sympathetic to their "economic migration". Art, police don't get to interpret the law and decide that "economic migrants" don't deserve punishment.
