A friend of mine had her car totaled at a red light by a illegal with no license or insurance.
It wasnt even his car. The cop just let him go.
She started bitching about it and told the cop he had to take him to jail.
The cop said to much paperwork. She kept it up and he wrote her a ticket for the wreck.
I have heard of dozens of these stories in Houston so yeah it is about time.
That is complete BS.
I had the exact opposite happen to me in Chicago.
An illegal blew a stop sign, I T-boned her in my big ass F350 and totaled her car.
My air bag didn't even go off, but it folded that little foreign car like a piece of bread.
The idiot had a baby strapped in exactly where I hit her.
They had insurance for 2 days and canceled it just so they could get plates.
It was her bosses car that knew she was illegal.
They dragged her ass away in cuffs.
A few weeks later they called my wife and said court is canceled, they shipped her to Mexico this morning.
So I had to pay for everything, and they got zero charges for insurance fraud, or scamming the plates.
I would bet the bank she's been back for years!!!!
