It happened as I said. There are a couple of witnesses whom I know who checked on us and were lucky they were not hit as well. We gave the officer the benefit of doubt to do his job as the law would require. We raised no attitudes or concerns at the scene. After all it is his job and we expect him to do his job and do it well. Nothing less than we expect of ourselves. My husband and I did not say a word or even get mad until we got to the house and I made the call to the insurance company he listed and found out it was fraud. Then I looked over the papers by the officer and saw he listed NO DRIVERS LICENSE. NO ID. We were at the wreck for over and hour with the officers. The next morning is when I called the State Troopers office and spoke with a gentleman who told me the " we normally don't give tickets unless...." He said I would need to speak with the corporal. (Corporal Bailey) He called me back later in the day. This was after I had written my letter to the Governor, Senator, and 4 newspapers. He asked if I was making a complaint. I screamed at him. I later called back and apologized for screaming at him and knew that I should handle this the proper way. I said I am mad for what has happened, I expect some results , arrest, deportation etc.. and I expect you to cooperate with the INS (ICE) division but I apologize for screaming at you. The trooper was DT Jones out of the Birmingham Post.
I called the guy Governor Riley said to call and did not receive a returned call. I plan on giving them one week to return the call. Then I will contact Governor Riley and let them know I did not receive a response. I am assuming I will not. You go for it. I plan on contacting my legislature representative as well.
Just another example:
The city of Hoover earlier this past year had a state employee that was arrested in a sting for selling legal drivers license to illegal aliens for a thousand dollars a pop. Those illegal aliens are then able to register to vote because they have a legal state ID. You see where I am going. We are not being protected. Our money is not being used properly and something must be done. I expect the treatment I deserve. I had a license, registration, ID, insurance. Now I have a luxury car that has been devalued because the wreck will go on the car trace, wheel axle damage, insurance premium increases, points on license etc....I feel we need all our legislatures to be aware of how we are being fleeced by the very people who's salaries we pay for. I may be barking up a tree, but I will at least have my voice heard.
