I was driving home with my boat from Decker Lake a couple of weeks ago, and I was stopped at a light. Out of no where, I was violently rear ended. The driver of the truck that hit me turned out to be an illegal alien with no insurance and no driver's license. He was also obviously intoxicated. Officer Taylor of the TCSD was at the scene as well as the fire department. During his investigation of the accident, the other driver's truck started rolling towards everyone on the side of the road. The driver had not put it in park in the 15 minutes before the authorities arrived. One of the firemen had to jump in the truck to stop it before it hit someone or something again.

The officer assured me that the man would be arrested, and I limped away from the scene with my outboard, trailer, and boat all destroyed. The next day after calling the sheriff's department, I discovered that the man had in fact not been arrested. He had simply been issued a citation and sent on his way to crash into people, cars, boats, or whatever happens to be in front of his vehicle next time.

I later spoke with the officer's supervisor who told me that everything was performed correctly by the department. "It is not their job to arrest uninsured, unlicensed, illegal alien drivers who cause bodily injury to tax paying citizens or destroy their property"

My boat is now destroyed. I have nothing to go on as far as the identity of the driver except a name which is most likely fake. The citations that he was written will probably never be paid because there is no way to verify who they were written to. The man is out there on the streets still driving around without an ounce of responsibility for his actions. Who can blame him if this is the kind of justice our officers, who are sworn to protect us, carry out in Travis County. Next time it could be someone's child who is plowed over.
