I think I found out why the car was pulled over in Texas.
CNN had a report tonight about a County in Texas who makes a lot of money pulling people over. The following is a blurb about it.
Editor’s Note: Gary Tuchman is Keeping Them Honest on the Texas forfeiture law beat lately. He’s been visiting counties where law enforcement officials have allegedly misused public funds and state lawmakers have done nothing to stop them. Wait until you hear Gary’s report tonight. Cops in Kimble County seem to be making a lot of money off of pulling over drivers for speeding and other traffic violations. The cops then allegedly seize all cash and valuables from the driver’s car. The district attorney is supposed to use any seized funds for “official purposes.” But can a trip to Hawaii be considered an “official purpose?” Find out tonight at 10 p.m. ET.
