Nothing to show tonight...!
Just seeing RED...
(I thought I would share, anyway...)
So - I drive in this city here, everyday, for work etc. Which kind of sucks, but it is what it is. Most days - no issues. Tonight - no such luck. I get rear ended! (and not the first time...)
Thank God, the damage is not bad. So, it happens. Right?
Well... yes. But... it gets a little bit more interesting...
After few tense moments the driver that hit my truck finally stops... Oh, good. He is not shooting at me or anything, so I decide to approach. He does not appear to be in the mood to exchange information though... Nothing too too aggressive, just not very polite.
So, I figure - gotta wait for the cops. He's really not a happy camper when I share that, lol.
(I really don't care at this point, I'm super p-o-ed...)
A cop shows up after an hour, fun times.
(God bless the STL PD, here in STL cops have real work to do! I almost feel guilty, lol)
So, turns out the driver has... no license.
He also has... no insurance.
There is no insurance on the car, and apparently it is not his car (?).
There is also... no registration, car has... no registration plates, and I mean - none! (not even temporary, or anything)
Yeah, great...
And here is the real kicker:
The cop gives him a ticket/s (?) and the guy is... free to go. I mean: free to go. As in: drive away! his unlicensed @ss, his unregistered, uninsured car and all!
I kid you not.
Welcome to St. Louis, MO, post Ferguson and post 2015 MO judicial reforms.
EDIT: The cop (who is African American) looks about as excited as I am...
(And yes, I'm told I'm free to pursue the driver through my insurance, lol.)
The guy (offender) doesn't have to pay those tickets anyway, or show up in court, or anything. Pretty much everything he did/is doing is illegal but all the offenses are in-enforceable here!
