Debbie Riddle proposes this:
HB 3680 would subject those found to be in possession of any amount of cannabis in the same place as someone under the age of 17 to one year in jail and $4,000 in fines.
Introduced by Representative Debbie Riddle, this bill hit the fast track, passed the Criminal Jurisprudence Committee and was passed by the house.
During the House hearing, when questioned, Debbie Riddle admitted she didn't know what "cannabis" is.
The hearing for HB 902 was held Wednesday, April 8th. This reporter was present to deliver testimony on behalf of the bill. At the conclusion of my testimony, I was asked a few questions. One of which was asked by Rep. Debbie Riddle, District 150, Houston, TX. She asked “What is ‘cannabis’?” As the committee snickered, I explained that cannabis is the clinical term for the substance she knew as ‘marijuana.’ She then stated that she had never heard the term before.
you see, Debbie Riddle only knows cannabis by "dank," or "dro." Thus the confusion.
the fun doesn't stop there folks, no sir. we're just getting started. Gotta keep track of all the pederasts out there so the red light camera companies can keep making money once the red light cameras are banned. Thankfully State Senator Tommie Williams of The Woodlands is Johnny on the Spot:
The Texas state Senate voted Monday to give federal, state and local authorities the ability to track and identify every passing vehicle on state highways. The provision calling for “automatic license plate identification cameras” was slipped into the Senate version of the must-pass Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) reauthorization bill. The provision was not part of the bill introduced in the state House of Representatives, whose less sympathetic members will have to accept or reject the entire 1274-page compromise hammered out by a conference committee. The House voted yesterday to instruct its conferees to insist that the House-passed ban on red light cameras remain in the final text.
The Senate’s surveillance camera proposal promises taxpayer funds to the same private companies that operate photo radar and red light camera systems threatened by the House bill. License plate readers use the same basic technology as automated ticketing machines. Instead of tracking, for example, only those who exceed a certain speed threshold, the plate readers will store a video image of the front passenger compartment and rear license plate of every single passing vehicle. Optical character recognition software identifies the registered vehicle owner and allows for easy indexing of the time and location of travel for each person identified using the highway.
The Senate-passed bill gives police broad authority for the first time to use this information to prosecute any state or federal crime, as long as it is not a traffic violation “punishable by fine only.” The bill also specifies that the cameras may be used to find suspects in amber alert cases, missing senior citizens and those accused of killing a police officer
and now for our feature performance, folks. Collin County, home to famous white-flight north Dallas 'burbs of Plano, Frisco, McKinney, and Allen, has approved a $300K stimulus expenditure in order to qualify for $300K matching federal Obamarama funds. What will these $600K greenbacks be used to procure, you ask? Why unmanned aerial vehicles, of course. The kind of cutting edge technology every preeminent 'burb in america needs to successfully fight the scourge of illegal u-turns and HoA landscaping violations sweeping our fair state.
why are people so ****ing stupid?
