Dallas Police Improperly Cite Drivers for Not Speaking English - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News - FOXNews.com
At least six officers wrote the citations,
including one who wrote five of them, Kunkle said at a news conference.
The officers and their commanders are under investigation,
and Dallas police also plan to look beyond the last three years to see if other citations turn up, Kunkle said.
"I felt humiliated. Sad," she said. "I wanted to cry but I couldn't. The anger wouldn't let me."
During the exchange between her and the officer, Mondragon said she used the limited English words and phrases she knows.
"He asked me if I spoke English. I said I speak a little and understand it," she said.
Mondragon said court staffers seemed puzzled by the charge. The
court ultimately dismissed the "non-English" ticket and driver's license citation
after Mondragon presented her license.
Kunkle said the outcome of the other 37 no-English citations is unclear.
Mondragon was surprised to hear others had been cited and said
she's glad she said something so it can stop.
She and her family are considering a lawsuit.
She's like Rosa Parks and she's got the Klingons payin for THanksgiving dinner and Christmas Party, and New Years, and all of Black History Month.
