When I was a child, I was taught we are innocent of a crime until proven guilty. Now we are assumed guilty until we prove our innocence. What happened?

Why should anyone have to sue the City of Dallas to get their money back after a so-called "peace officer" authorizes a towing company to steal their vehicle (property) under the assumption that that someone is guilty of a crime not proven in a court of law? Who is the victim?

How is this facism?
I am not sure whether I approve of this measure. If I get stopped without my insurance card, (or a card that has expired...This has happened to me before) and then I prove that I have insurance, then should I not be able to send the City of Dallas a bill for all of the costs incurred? Seems like that would solve the problem realy quickly.

    *TOW AND GO*

    *Recently, in the City ofDallas,Texas, they passed an ordinance
    that ifyou are pulled over by law enforcement, *

    *and are not able to provide proofof insurance, your car will be
    towed away on the spot. Afterwards,to retrieve *

    *your car from the impound lot, you must show the requiredproof
    of insurance to have your car released to you.*

    *This has made it easy for the City ofDallasto remove uninsured
    carsfrom the roads.  These vehicles are typically *

    *driven by illegals.*

    *Shortly after this, "No insurance, we keep your vehicle"
    ordinance waspassed, theDallasimpound lots began to fill *

    *up quickly, and were allfull after only nine days.

    Most of the impounded cars were driven by illegals.  Not only
    must youprovide proof of insurance to have your car released,*

    * you also have topay for the cost of the tow, a $350 fine, and
    charged $20 for everyday their car is kept in the lot.*

    *I would suggest other cities across the nation follow
    whatDallas,Texasis doing.  Not only is it getting uninsured
    drivers off*

    * the road,but it is taking away vehicles driven by illegals that
    have no insuranceon them.*

    *Brings a tear to my eyes, doesn't it? *

    *Not a Hint of racial profiling, but how effective, nonetheless.*
