So, how is it that you managed to locate a "Sr. Trooper" who engages in the same type of syntax and grammatical errors as you do??
:roll:

 

Well I have my ways "Useless" it just takes a little time :roll:

 

Got to agree with you 100% on this Useless.....as we Texans know there is no such entity as "Texas Highway Patrol", they call themselves DPS.

You would think that if a person is gonna lie about something, they would do their homework first and ensure ALL the facts are correct.

 

She/he hasn't bothered to do that yet, D/D!! Why should she/he start now?? :P

 

Actually, I've heard of Monty Dial before. He is in the Ask The Law program from Ol Blue USA.

But, as I asked before, and was ignored by Dawn - what is your point? Nothing he says supports your arguement.

 

Why should that surprise you?? There is no such thing as the "Texas Highway Patrol"!!

The whole "letter" from "Sr. Trooper" Dial was fabricated by "Dawn".

If you are going to sit around waiting for "Dawn" to make some kind of valid point, you'd be better off sitting around awaiting The Second Coming of Christ!! (The Second Coming is likely to come far sooner!!)

I have still not figured out how posers like this guy "Dawn" and this other poser ""Myth Buster" have somehow concluded that we are all sitting in such dire need of their unsolicited, flawed, and imaginary "expertise"!!

 

Anybody care to find me a "Beating a Dead Horse" Icon? :P

 

Yeah,Rev,I just searched him,and the Ol'blue,USA site came up. I reckon,its legit,but that is the first time that I have seen,"Texas Highway Patrol." Must be a new division. Maybe it replaced,Texas Department of Public Safety. :|

 

The bottom line is this: If you falsified your log, you can be cited for that offense. HOWEVER, if the accident caused death you still can only be cited for a log violation. The log citation in NO WAY would lead to a murder charge. A murder charge would be the result of willful and negligent actions.

It's not like a DPS trooper is going to sit there and think "A trucker killed someone and I'm going to let him go. Wait a minute there's a log violation! Holy sh*t now I'm going to arrest him for murder!" :roll:

Now would log violations be prosecuted and used as evidence should a driver have an at fault fatal accident? Yes, just like they would use any past tickets, accidents, etc. as evidence too. But log violations don't automatically equal murder charges.

Dawn, Don, Tom, whatever...can you please offer your opinion when asked instead of randomly posting your "expertise" at will.

 

Before now I've been following this thread out of sheer amusement value and not much else. However, we have always referred to state troopers as "highway patrol". That's what their offices are called in Oklahome, and I guess coming from there we just assumed. Isn't that what the cars say on them down here too? Texas Highway Patrol? I guess maybe not ops: though you'd never have proved it by me
