Texas Cop Writes Struggling Father a Traffic Ticket

[RED333]

The good, the bad, and the ugly, wish we could see them all as good.

“You get paid, pay your bills, and there’s your money. It’s gone,” Carlo told KTVT-TV. “I said, ‘it was either feed my kids or get my registration done.”

The officer wrote a citation and handed it to Carlo, who couldn’t believe what he saw inside.

“Opened it up and there’s a $100 bill. I broke down in my car, what else could I do,” Carlo said.

Great read and great Texas LEO.  Goes to show more and more that folks do care about each other and people are beginning to believe in our country again. ............jmho

It is good to read a positive story on LEOs.  Three are some officers who should have never been given a badge, and it is unfortunate that they tend to get the most publicity.  However, there are a lot of officers out there who have a strong sense of community, and really know what it means to protect and serve.

Don't give up so easy Jak, in the over all scheme of things there are more good folk than bad folks out there. We just don't hear about the good ones often enough is all...............jmho

Why didn't he just let him go without a citation?  :shrug:

 

I would bet that it was probably a warning, and he wouldn't have been able to sneak in the C-note if he hadn't given it to him.

You caught me in the middle of thinking, Mav. You quoted while I edited. ;)

That is a amazing story, I have to admit I had something in my eye after I read it. Thank God for good people in uniform, it really makes me have hope when I look around and find so little to be excited about.

It really is good to hear about things like this

With the warning about neg LEO posts I went and found a few good ones.

There are more out there, just have to look.

Just like the bad ones, just less.
