Starting to feel like we’re in a 3rd world country. My son works at Klein Tools in Mansfield but lives in Arlington. He was pulled over at 4:40am by APD and asked where he was going?

Why would an officer make contact with someone just driving their car?

That's what happens when we let them steal our freedoms. People willfully allowed it no less.

Just goes to show how silly some of this really is....as a city let's expose your PD to a ton of unnecessary contact during this crazy time to stop a guy in an enclosed vehicle driving along not contacting anyone. Officer gets infected or exposed he is out 2 weeks depleting your staff. Genius, pure genius.
As I said in another post start keeping score of which politicians are doing what right now. There will be time in the future to hold them accountable.

Show your papers comrade, if you have a legitimate need you have nothing to fear from the state, no?

Might have been a covert DWI check at that time of the morning.

This is what fascism looks like. The authorities riding around stopping people without probable cause. The first, 2nd, 4th amendment appear to be quaint suggestions.

Starting to feel like we’re in a 3rd world country. My son works at Klein Tools in Mansfield but lives in Arlington. He was pulled over at 4:40am by APD and asked where he was going? Was that the sole reason for the stop? Or did he have a taillight out or something? Our work gave us letters stating we work in critical infrastructure/commercial construction to show the authorities in just such a situation.

Guess I find it hard to believe they would pull random people over just to ask where they're going. Seems like a waste of resources.

Was reading that the police can issue tickets now. What for? Assault sneezing? Serious question, what CAN they write you a ticket for if you are going to work?
