Lately, as a way of protecting the motorists of Carlsbadistan, the Carlsbad Police Department has been ticketing potential day laborers using “anti-solicitation” laws.
What do day laborer’s have to do with traffic problems? According to a story in the North County Times, police say that stopping to pick up a day laborer can cause traffic snarls.
It’s dangerous for drivers to stop on busy roads to pick up the workers, Carlsbad police Capt. Neil Gallucci said.
If it’s that dangerous, why not ticket the people who are driving the cars that stop to pick up the workers? Oh, right. That’s because that’s what the police are doing to catch the day laborers for solicitation. . .
