When Russell T. &#8220;Todd&#8221; Sharpe, a six-year Washington State Patrol officer, testified that Medina fought against his restraints while being taken to the hospital for a blood alcohol test and refused to answer questions, the case against the Mexican national with a criminal record who had twice been deported was declared a mistrial because his constitutional right to remain silent had been violated. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It pains me greatly, but in this case I must exercise an abundance of caution,&#8221; explained Judge James P. Hutton. <\/p>\n<p>Little caution, critics say, is being exercised when it comes to preventing mayhem on America&#8217;s highways as the country witnesses record high numbers of unlicensed, unregistered, uninsured drivers \u2013 millions of whom are illegal aliens like Medina. <\/p>\n<p>While no one \u2013 in or out of government \u2013 tracks traffic accidents caused by illegal aliens, the statistical and anecdotal evidence suggests many of last year&#8217;s 42,636 road deaths involved illegal aliens. <\/p>\n<p>A report by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Study found 20 percent of fatal accidents involve at least one driver who lacks a valid license. In California, another study showed that those who have never held a valid license are about five times more likely to be involved in a fatal road accident than licensed drivers. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>MORE <a href=\"http:\/\/www.worldnetdaily.com\/news\/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=51667\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WorldNetDaily.com How open borders turn Americans into roadkill Illegals drive up highway deaths as U.S. hits new highs for unlicensed, uninsured motorists (From last August&#8230;but still true today) WASHINGTON \u2013 Marcos Ramos Medina was driving his 1997 Chevrolet Lumina erratically, according to witnesses, swerving several times across the center line, causing a tractor-trailer rig to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thedustininmansociety.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/913"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thedustininmansociety.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thedustininmansociety.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thedustininmansociety.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thedustininmansociety.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=913"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.thedustininmansociety.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/913\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thedustininmansociety.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=913"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thedustininmansociety.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=913"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thedustininmansociety.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=913"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
