He was ticketing old people for driving too slow.  This is a small town of like 500 people.

He also was issuing tickets because people were using their remote car starters.  (It’s nice to warm up the cars in North Dakota.)

The town is about 30 miles west of Grand Forks.

All in all I think he caused the problem all himself.  Now he’s just playing the old race card to enrich himself. 

This does send a message out that if you give a minority a chance they are likely to accuse you of bad things, get it on the front page of the local rag and maybe get yourself sued.

Rob’s recently listened-to songs:

I live very close to Larimore--it’s even less of a town than Mayville. And that’s saying a lot.
