The Los Angeles Police Department will soon start ignoring California state law, which requires police to impound the vehicles of unlicensed drivers for 30 days.
The majority of unlicensed motorists in Los Angeles are immigrants who are in the country illegally [/size]and have low-income jobs. The LAPD says the state's impound law is unfair because it limits their ability to get to their jobs and imposes a steep fine to get their car back.
As long as drivers can produce some form of I.D., proof of insurance and vehicle registration, they'll be allowed to keep their car. Police Chief Charlie Beck insists that it's simply leveling the playing field.
"It's about fairness. It's about equal application of the law," Beck told a Los Angeles TV station earlier this month.
Opponents of Beck's decision are furious and refer to studies showing unlicensed drivers are among the most dangerous on the road. Indeed, a 2011 AAA study titled "Unlicensed to Kill" finds they are five times more likely to be involved in fatal crashes and more likely to flee the scene of a crime.
This country is unfuckingbelievable. Or should I say the state of California is unfuckingbelievable. Bending over backwards to protect people who have violated the law not once but at least TWICE. Illegally entering our country, and driving without a license.

In many cases four times.
-EWI (Entry Without Inspection, a Violation of 8 USC 1325) or being a visa overstay.
-Identity theft (pray its never your SS # they get hold of).
-Driving without a license (and often without insurance and registration to boot).
-Working illegally.

Or just make penalties for hiring illegals so ridiculous it isn't even worth it.
Of course there would then be food shortages as no one would be working the fields.

Money went to the Bachmann Memorial Bridge between Minnesota and Wisconsin. Now people can live in heaven and work in Minnesota, land of lakesbison.

Nonsense.
Food might cost a little more, but people would work.

None of you fools actually believe that cops and prosecutors in every state haven't been ignoring laws for decades.

No, but most are smart enough not to openly advertise it.

Just another example of that:
San Francisco Subway customers lose $5 footlong deal
Subway customers in San Francisco may be disappointed when they get to the counter and find out that the everyday selection of $5 footlong sandwiches has been scrapped, reportedly in response to a recent increase in the minimum wage. A story in local media outlet SF Weekly blamed the ban on $5 footlongs in local stores to the higher cost of doing business.
According to workers interviewed by SF Weekly, it's because of the local $10.24-per-hour minimum wage. San Francisco has a minimum wage that adjusts annually according to the Consumer Price Index. Business groups regularly decry automatically adjusting minimum wages, but usually don't tie their labor costs as explicitly to the price of their goods.
Subway spokesman Les Winograd said franchisees weren't running afoul of any corporate rules by scrapping the sandwich promotion. "We don't set prices, we recommend prices, so the franchisees do set their own prices," he said. The San Francisco case, he said, was the first instance he'd seen of a market eschewing the national $5 footlong price.
San Francisco customers, meanwhile, are relegated to tuna salad with jalapenos — the monthly "special" footlong — if they want a $5 lunch.

Your doing something wrong, my ins has been declining on a bi-yearly basis it seems. A couple of weeks ago I called to get some quotes on a few vehicles and I was surprised to find no difference in rates whether it was the Mercedes or the Corvette.

True, doesn't change the facts though. Hell I remember while stationed there they passed the no insurance get a ticket, period. That lasted a only a few months when the courts were overrun with thousands upon thousands of people with tickets and an automatic court date.

Soon you won't be able to opt out...ObamaCare will float over to other insurance coverage. Low income people, including illegal immigrants, will need their cars as much as health insurance and their free cell phones.
Obama will make you pay.

There you go again, applying 2012 moral values to ancient history. Next you're gonna want to have us pay up reparations to half of Africa.

Manifest Destiny.
Don't get angry at that, if it wasn't for Manifest Destiny, you wouldn't have all those wonderful lakes to fish on and we'd all suffer from EC(b).
