Thread: Irving activist Carlos Quintanilla arrested

http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent ... 76ee4.html When I saw this on the news I laughed til I cried. Then after reading the full story I laughed some more -his record is worse than most of the illegals we want deported. He may have wanted to get arrested to draw support by playing victim. Bless his heart...LOL

Did you notice this on the right hand side?

IF this were my local paper they wouldn't be collecting my paper fees!!!!

The squeaky door got oiled.

I don't support this guy, but man they really picked some little stuff to arrest him on. Is there something bigger in the mix the reporter excluded from the list?

Arrested for expired tags, no insurance, and no license or expired license? That is bad, but usually a police officer will issue you a ticket and tell you to come to court to clear it by showing you got everything in order.

Not around here
a combo of any two and your in cuffs driving on no license alone is an arrestable No insurace and bad tags is jail with a quickness

Its always been that way go over the river and Beeep a state boy off and you can go for a bald tire or no rear view... and they stick Its A great way to clear the streets of Criminal aliens on wheels and its leagal

If there is an arrest warrant already out for you, I don't think it matters
what its for. If your run on NCIC or TCIC and your active warrant pops up, usually your headed for the gray bar hotel.

The court that issued the paper is then notified.

He must have defaulted on the ticket(s).
