Thank you for your amazingly informative response. Back in the Bronze Age, when I attended school, we didn't have to learn this kind of thing.tbrown wrote:They used to teach this in school, but here you go. http://www.tlc.state.tx.us/gtli/legproc/diagram.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Let me ask the question another way: Why does the legislature, every session, add to the 300 or so traffic offenses that a LEO can use as probable cause for a stop? Don't they have enough already?
I remember several years ago they added "obscured license plates." A woman I worked with was stopped on something like January 2 (a day after the law went into effect) because the license plate frame that the dealer put on the car "obscured" her license plate. The ticket was a couple of hundred dollars, and she couldn't get out of it by just taking off the frame. (It was in one of those forgettable towns south of Houston, like Missouri city.)
