None of us get to do what we want without repercussion. You are undocumented, AND you drive without a license (and presumably without insurance), AND you get into an accident? Yeah sorry, there are consequences.
I completely understand a human being seeking a better life, but this person should not be on the road.

Also have immigrant parents and find this kind of thing infuriating

Have you spent any time wondering about that?
No, you say?
Shocking.
Why would someone knowingly come here in violation of federal law? For an opportunity for a better life.
Why would someone operate a motor vehicle without a license or insurance in violation of Virginia law? Because to get places in Virginia, you basically have to drive.
This isn't complicated. If you think it is, that's shocking.

Nope. That's not what he was reprimanded for. Read the OP.

Who made up rule FCPD General Order 601-Arrest procedures (VIII c. 5. e.)? That's the question.
