The citation was a paid & done deal almost four years prior to Big-D's blatant money grab two years ago. <br /><br />I would like to know please with whom I must speak or file in order to get this examined for explicit legality by state authorities and, if possible, reimbursement if found to be an illegal action by the City of Dallas.<br /><br />Many Thanks, <br />Driving, But WAY BrokeDriving, But WAY Brokenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-43569398369190236362010-04-27T21:56:20.384-05:002010-04-27T21:56:20.384-05:00I have a daughter caught up in the driver responsi...I have a daughter caught up in the driver responsibility fiasco. Yes, she broke the law, and yes, she's been to prison to do time. Now, out on parole on one charge and on probation on another, she has to relie on me to drive her to and from work while she tries to pay ad fees to parole and probation, pay court costs, a crime stoppers fee, a fine and now a drivers responsibility fee. That means I have to be available to drive her to work at 5 pm and go fetch her at 1 am, or she can do like alot of those in her circumstance and break the law by driving w/o a license and insurance. She works 6 days a week and is trying to do the right thing but the State in its infinite wisdom is trying to push her off into that unlawful underground made up of unlicensed uninsured drivers. And people wonder about recedivism and why its so high in our state. Its because the system is stacked against the probationer (or parolee) to fail. They are truely a cash crop to some in this state...as are the families.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
