Dallas Police Ticketed 39 Drivers for Not Speaking English
Sunday, October 25, 2009

It is not a crime not to speak English, and yet six police officers in Dallas, Texas, cited at least 39 drivers over a three-year period for being “a non-English speaking driver.” Police Chief David Kunkle said he was “surprised and stunned” when he found out what some of his officers had been doing. “In my world, you would never tell someone not to speak Spanish,” Kunkle told the Dallas Morning News.
Dallas’ top cop promised an investigation into the six officers accused of dereliction of duty. Motorists cited for not knowing English were fined $204 a piece. All will be reimbursed by the city.
