I thought this was an interesting local story. A new Dallas Cop wrote a citation for not being able to speak English. The problem is that there is not law against not being able to speak English. You would think that most intelligent people would know that this isn’t illegal.
More importantly, I find, was a quote at the end of the article. Reporters interviewed the daughter of the woman receiving the citation. She said her mother was very upset about that the ticket and that they “ended up taking her to the emergency room because she was so nervous”.
I hope I am not the only person that can highlight a serious issue here. Emergency room visits are expensive, and I can assure you that these people didn’t leave with a bill in hand. So Dallas residents will be paying for that visit.
Emergency rooms are for emergencies. Of course I have let my feelings be known in the past. I do find it interesting that Dallas News chose to disable comments on that particular post.
