"Police say checkpoints, used to check for driver's licenses and vehicle registrations, help to keep the city's streets and highways safe."
It seems that the police are carrying out illegal instructions and mandates if they are requiring that drivers have their vehicle's registration papers with them. It is NOT required in the state of Texas. It is in California and a few other states, but not here.
Unfortunately, this is another example of what I've tried to get out about the law enforcement in this area: new cars, new radios, same old incompetence. This applies to both the city and county of Victoria. I seriously doubt you'll get much out of complaining to the sheriff, but you might consider contacting the State Attourney General (since this does involve CPS and Elderly Care jurisdiction) about this matter. It also seems to me that the landlord of your mom's property should be actively interested. As a side note to "Willie," burning trash that contains plastic and other common household materials does produce highly toxic gases. I could go into more detail, but P_M_L spelled it out quite well, if you are capable of understanding what she wrote.
I don't know all the facts about Mr. Cano or what happened, but I do agree that the law enforcement in the "Golden Crescent" area falls short of what their duties are supposed to be. They may have gotten new vehicles and equipment, but their attitudes and job capabilities still have much to be desired.
WRONG! In the state of Texas Proof of Registration is NOT required. Get your facts straight before stating then as fact. Anyone asking for such is operating outside of the law and should be reported and prosecuted for doing so. Otherwise, you have a good comment concerning illegal searchs.
