Did the parents stutter when naming him?
In most Latin American countries people have the last name of their father followed by the last name of their mother. When women marry they drop the last name of their mother and replace it with the last name of their husbands father. Apparently his mom and dad have the same paternal name.
Correct, very common in Spanish speaking countries
so what was he in pursuit for? seem like profiling. everyone drives in the middle of the road due to sagging of the shoulder on both sides, even the CHP.
Amen.. And they needed 5 plus cars? Cops are thr lowest of the low
Profiling for sure!
But….
They profile everyone.
Not just hispanics.
Try being a non redneck driving through fortuna.
“Evading a peace officer”. I have three brothers who Were Peace Officers back in the day. Using the term “peace officer” in the above story idoesn’t fit, no matter how it’s spun.
They’re in uniform and armed. Evasion? Ya think?
Suspended commercial driver’s license. I bet cha he was traveling, not driving in commerce.
Too many armed vigilantes with a badge cruising around like the asset-forfeiture-theft predators they’ve been turned into. Protect the corporate profit, paycheck, and pension, boys.
There is no crime. Just commerce – a financial transaction of smoke and mirrors.
