Driving While Speaking Spanish


A number of people were arrested in Dallas for driving without being able to speak English.

That it happened in Dallas doesn't surprise me. There is something about that city - maybe its because that is where Jack Kennedy was killed, or because there are places in the area that don't allow (or tried not to allow) undocumented residents. At least there are police in Arlington (a city near Dallas) that are advocating to end the notorious 287G that allows city police to act as immigration officers.

Interesting that 3 years went by before anyone noticed this illegal behavior was going on. It could have been reported by the officer's supervisor or the judge presiding over the case, but everyone kept quiet.


Dallas police ticketed 39 drivers in 3 years for not speaking English
