Anyone hearing anything on Brazell? [arrested for driving on suspended license]

[77' Vol]

I thought these kids were supposed to have "mentors"? How could the VOLS not know his license had been suspended?

The rumor is driving with a suspended license. Not ideal, but there a lot worse offenses.

They’d look the other way on speeding.

ID violation they probably have their hands tied given RealID and immigration enforcement efforts.

I’ve always thought arresting for driving on a suspended license is stupid. Just tow the friking vehicle and issue a ticket. People shouldn’t be going to jail over it.

It’s an arrest that leads to discovering other violations once you verify identity at jail intake.

I’d imagine they’re doing more of it between RealID and immigration enforcement.

Arrested for a suspended license? Lmao, KPD was really out protecting and serving UT athletes this weekend. Failure to appear in Blount County over nothing offenses. This should have been handled internally and UT AD should be informing them of that.

Cops should drive around with square readers and you should know the amount/be able to pay ticket for traffic infraction on the spot if fines are going to get you arrested. But that would decrease income for the racket.

LSU and Auburn both had players arrested this weekend. On a related note, what happened to the Vandy players arrested over the rape charges a few years back? And, anyone have knowledge of AJ Johnson these days. His incident likely cost him a decent shot at an NFL career. Sad...

The Vandy boys are in prison I believe. And AJ Johnson has had a pretty good NFL career after he won his case.

Tell that to the young white mother with no criminal history who simply can’t afford $400/month car insurance who’s living paycheck to paycheck who’s just trying to get her kids to the sitter so that she can show up to work so that she doesn’t lose her job. All because she had a broken tail-lite.

This is my story. It was years ago and I’ve gotten my life together since, but I had to beg and plead with that a$$hole of a cop to not arrest me and beg a friend of mine to come get me and take me to work. Then spend the rest of my day trying to figure out how I was going to come up with the $250 to get my car back. For a friking tail light

I can understand arresting for it in the case the person has prior DUI’s, was driving recklessly, caused an accident, is undocumented, etc. But they should NOT be arresting people over it for little infractions and moving violations. Period. There’s a lot more effed up things going on in this world the police’s attention would better well be served.
