TPD
the poor dad
This has to be a thread on it's own. I am writing this based on the conversations and text messages I have had with my brother. I believe this to be correct.
Concerning my brother's fiasco with his tags-
Sheriff's deputy stops my brother 7:30am Sunday morning because tag reader tells him to do so.
Deputy takes tags and registration because his computer tells him there was an insurance lapse.
Insurance company says no lapse.
MVA says no lapse - tags shouldn't have been pulled.
Brother goes to Sheriff's office today to get tags back. (MVA had warned him that if Sheriff's office had already turned them in to MVA he would either have to buy new tags or wait weeks for them to be returned in the mail.). Sheriff's office tells him they need proof from MVA/Insurance. He tells them insurance never lapsed so he didn't need proof - it was their mistake. Sheriff's office looks at their computer and says oh, you must have called MVA this morning and had them change it in their system. NO dummy - there was never an issue! Brother hands insurance card to person behind counter at Sheriff's office to confirm insurance. Insurance card shows insurance good for 6 months - July thru January. They go to the back to retrieve his tags - bring them out and hands them to him. He asks where is registration card. They say we don't know, it's not in the bag with the tags. You have to go to MVA to get a new one. Mind you - the deputy took the registration card on Sunday when he took the tags! So my brother asks for something in writing from the Sheriff's office stating they lost registration card in case he is stopped before getting new card from MVA. Nope can't give you anything. Before my brother walks out, he asks for his insurance card. They have lost it! 15 minutes and they lose an insurance card! Then they say he never gave it to them. He asks how they knew his insurance was good thru Jan 20th. Oh yeah you did give it to us but we can't find it now. He walks out without registration card or insurance card. No apology. No attempt to locate either. Describes the encounter as a lot of ignorance and arrogance!
INCOMPETENCE is what I describe it as!
I told my brother to do a FOIA request for all video/audio recording of his encounter on Sunday and today.
And I don't see how any of this will be any better with the hand picked replacement Cameron has chosen.
