U LUZ's (John) wife got arrested the other day in Alvin for no front plate and no proof of insurance. They have insurance, but their card had just expired and they hadn't put the new one in the glove compartment yet.
John was out a couple of hundred bucks to bail her out, 2 tickets, a tow fee, and his wife had their little dog with her, so it was taken to the city pound. He had to pay a fee to get the dog out. That's some really messed up BS if you ask me.

I don't think cops should be able to arrest you for a class C unless you have priors. If they do, they should have to pay you for the time they hold you.

Wow! Does Alvin PD have nothing better to do? I would be pretty pissed off!

Three weeks ago a got arrested for running a red light. I was going 35 mph and didn't really run the light that bad. Also it was real early in the morning and nobody was on the road I was on. All of my stuff was up to date and was not rude at all. I got arrested and booked and was in jail for over a hour. I am glad I know people and got me out of jail. I got everything droped and did have to pay 200 for the ticket. After my buddy talked to the cop that arrested me, we was scared and just keep saing he was sorry. The other shitty part was I pulled over in a towing lot service and they charged me a 170 to tow my truck and all they did was just drive it 15 yards around back. Man I was so pissed!

Funny, on December 3rd I got a ticket for an expired inspection that had an expiration date of 11/09.
**** man all the SAPD cops I've met were cool as hell. Don't EVER speed in Schertz. You will get pulled over and given a ticket
. they are just as bad as Selma used to be.

There is a 5 day grace period for inspection.
A officer taking someone to jail for such a small infraction is just bored or has something against the individual unless they have someone above them telling them to take citizens to jail for minor offenses.

Maybe if you didn't dress like such a hoodlum (sp?), and pulled your pants up.
I have been pulled over in Webster a couple of times, and both times the officers were very polite, and let me go with a warning. Maybe its my handsome looks... I don't know.
You always have good stories. Planes attacking you on the beach and ****, getting arrested for nothing.

Not maybe, it certainly was due to your boyish good looks.

Went to court, they dismissed all the tickets and I has to pay $40 in court cost and then they cut me a check for the rest of my bail money. Really a complete waste of time and city resources, but I moved out of that dump, so all is well!
