Ah, the old wetback license-plate ploy, again, eh?



I can recall when Elsmere wanted to pass an ordinance allowing the police to troll apartment house parking lots on the look-out for Pennsylvania license plates...br /br /Now a href="http://resolutedetermination.wordpress.com/2009/07/23/todays-musings/"Homegrown Boy at Resolute Determination/a sees further evidence of society's deterioration in those self-same license plates:br /br /blockquotespan style="font-style:italic;"This morning was the 4th car I’ve seen with PA tags on it yet sporting a bumper sticker announcing that their child is a superstar at the area public school.br /br /Hmmmmm……………………if you’ve been in Delaware long enough to get your kid in school shouldn’t you have had time to get to motor v?br /br /Or maybe school choice has really expanded it’s definition or …br /br /the cynic in me said they’re here illegally using our tax dollars to teach their kid. (for the record American’s in Mexico get NO state funded services)/span/blockquotebr /br /OK, HGB, let's see if we can't find a few plausible reasons (aside from wetback invasion) why a car sporting PA plates might have a Delaware honor student bumper sticker:br /br /1. The kid used to go to DE schools before the family moved into PA, and they never took the damn sticker off.br /br /2. The car in question is being driven by grandma or grandpa who happen to live in PA and wanted to recognize their oh-so-talent child.br /br /3. The car in question is being driven by a divorced parent who doesn't have custody of the child and doesn't live in-State.br /br /4. The car in question is being driven by a member of the US Armed Forces who is not required (according to Federal law) to retag the vehicle away from the home state of record.br /br /5. The parent in question is actually paying tuition to send the child over the State border in search of a specific school or type of school.br /br /6. The parent in question was busier helping the kid with the homework that won the award than worrying about getting the car retagged.br /br /The cynic in you is free to believe whatever the hell you want to believe, but before you move onto the next step of suggesting that for purposes of ilaw and order/i [read: fewer brown people in our State] that the police should begin examining such discrepancies, please remember: probable cause this ain't.div class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7893272060787897238-3361214692894380330?l=delawarelibertarian.blogspot.com'//div
