[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This area deserves everything it gets based on the elected officials who are soft on crime and want to reduce any police involvement further.  This criminal should have already been in jail based on the number of citations alone.[/quote]

Since when have people been jailed for traffic citations? They're not jailable offenses.[/quote]

DP. He's got a couple citations that are. Knowingly driving without insurance and fleeing and eluding can both carry jail time. Why he wasn't arrested on those is a question for the police who issued the citations, though. [/quote]

I don't know the law in MD, but in Virginia reckless driving is a class 1 misdemeanor and can carry up to 12 months in jail.  So at least the criminal code has the option.  In Fairfax you used to get a day in jail for every mile over 90 but I don't know if that's still the case.  The looks on people's faces when the judge told them that was priceless.[/quote]

We're raised a generation in which too many kids don't think consequences for their actions apply to them. [/quote]
