I can't remember the last time, if ever, there was some kind of controversy involving a Spurs player. Unless you count Timmy's calling the dress code re ed. Unfortunately, it just adds fuel to the crazy fire of people thinking that Eva is bad for Tony. Even though he was the one who was driving without his TX license, she'll somehow get blamed for it.
Is driving without your license with you that big of a deal (if they check and see you have a valid license)? Is it even a moving violation? (I think in Cali it's just a fix it ticket).Even though he was the one who was driving without his TX license, she'll somehow get blamed for it.
Because I would think they probably would have just given Tony a warning on that, but Eva's " you" probably didn't help the cause.
Oh i know they didn't get the ticket for mouthing off, but i thought that someone said the cop was thinking about citing eva for her racial comments or something? Or maybe i just read it wrong.But they didn't ticket them for mouthing off. They just ticketed Tony for blocking traffic and not having his TX license on him (which is weird). Tony probably got pissed because they banged on his hood and then Eva talked and it went from there.
I think it's funny that it's on every news site in the country now since AP wrote a story. Yesterday it was just on KSAT and a few other stations, now it's world wide.
The problem with matters like these making the press is that they are blown out of proportion and discussed for way to long after they have been settled.
The officer, Eva and Tony were apparenlty able to resolve ths issue. There was no need whatsoever to involve the gossiping public.
I am very glad no one feels the need to tell the world every stupid thing I do.
I read it as the cop could have given her a ticket for mouthing off (but I didn't read it as it would be for the "racial" comment) -- moreso for the " you". But what was weird was it said that they could have given her a ticket if "bystanders" were offended. I didn't know it was against the law for bystanders to be offended about a situation that's none of their business.Oh i know they didn't get the ticket for mouthing off, but i thought that someone said the cop was thinking about citing eva for her racial comments or something?

It's like driving without your insurance card, even if you have insurance. However, it's not like a regular ticket where you can just mail in the fee. Even though they can look up that you have a license and insurance, you still have to show up and prove you have the license and insurance card. Question is, will Tony have to show up at the courthouse like the rest of us, or will he get special treatment?
In my dealings with people from all walks of life, I find cops no more honest that the next person. In fact, in most cases they so guarded in projecting and protecting their side of a story, that they dismiss anything that might support a different view.
Reports of events must be filled as part of proceedure before the end of every shift. These reports are very subjective and written mainly to justify action taken by the reporting officer. They will never take into account views of those cited, or other witnesses who might have a completly different story. Otherwise, in many cases they are only imbellished BS the officer writes to justify "HIS" action.
The only trouble I have ever had with the law is over very minor traffic violations. I paid the tickets, and/or took defensive driving the times I knew in my heart the citations were justified. But the three times when I felt the officer was just a jerk with an ego trip, I elicted to fight. Each time, the way I got these tickets dismissed was by demonstrating in court that the officers had filed false and misleading reports of the incidents.
This is not to discredit the several great officers who serve with honor and dignity. But you are very foolish if you have blind trust for anyone just because they represent an ins ution of honor.
I got a ticket from a bike cop for Jaywalking after a Spurs game at the Dome. We crossed traffic at a "non-designated" area for crossing traffic, along with about 100 other people...for some reason the bike-cop decided to single us out. We'd only been crossing the road there after the games for about 2 years.
And ya, I mouthed off at him. I tried to get the judge to see it my way...no deal.
My only ticket in 15 years and it's for freakin' jaywalking. Yeah, I'm bad.
Didn't make no headlines either.
One good thing came from this thread
It's me being cool
Free publicity...
I wonder if Dan Issel could have kept his job a bit longer had he called that heckler a merely a "piece of " instead of a "Mexican piece of ".....
For security reasons, I would think they would have to make some concessions for Tony- if only to schedule a time for him to appear either before or after the court closes to the public.

Just stating the obvious.
Mexican, in a lot of contexts, is thought of a bad word. Almost like a different six letter racial slur. I think the Mexican bike cop line is almost bigger than the F you line. I think that's partially why you keep hearing knew calling cards like latino and chicano thrown around.

I dont know... I think "Mexican bike cop" is more of a "he has no authority on us" type of line than a racial thing. But, by trying to affirm the "no authority" statement... then "Mexican" becomes a slur. Like that "bike cop" was not good enough.
Um, no...I'm American. And I'm Hispanic.
There is a difference.
I think he was trying to bring back an old discussion.. so i just ignored him.
I think you should quit reading into people's mind
It is hard to read between the lines of people from the same country and harder when they are from a differnet cultral and country
Fair enough...
But saying "hispanics come from mexico" means he's either trying to pick an argument or he's really really dumb. I was generous.
its even on the front page of cnn.com
Agreed. Living in Laredo, where 90% of the population is Mexican, you'll see a lot of Mexicans use their ethnicity to insult others.
When you say something like "he's just a Mexican", or something to that effect, it connects us to all the stereotypes that go along with the race. It's generally insulting.
Wonderful.
Just stating the obvious.
