After traffic stop, state senator pushes bill to change tag law

[ompatel]

It’s amazing what politicians do after something has directly affected THEM.

[vozz]

“We can’t change the law”
“Well I can!”
That’s the first and only time any police officer will hear this 😂

[elijahcallender]

That is the first time I’ve ever seen a politician keep a promise

[tjones]

Imagine IF politicians like this guy could develop some EMPATHY about what regular people deal with EVERYDAY.
But it's ONLY when it happens to THEM, that they stand up and see that changes are made to make people lives better.

Kudos to the officer who actually impounded his truck. Perfect example of rule of law.

[mistered]

Perfect example of why politicians should be held to the same laws and requirements as every other citizen.

[derekmcewen]

Awesome cop. Did not give the senator special treatment.

[blackfalcon]

Its amazing how motivated a politician can be once it effects them.

[joeford]

If it didn't happen to him it would been the law forever, screw the poor.

[zklpr]

He only changed the law once it inconvenienced him. Typical.

[duskpoppinton]

Perfect example of something doesn’t really matter till It happens to you 🤷🏾‍♂️

[ashxxiv]

absolutely based. I love seeing this. politicians realizing that they aren't above the law and when the law is dumb to begin with they change the law FOR EVERYONE. justice was done that day.

[chaosordeal]

You KNOW that if a poor person had contacted him regarding this law, Harbin would have done NOTHING.

[mikemartinez]

He got a rude awakening...welcome to the real world..

[mikegrant]

Most don't realize how devastating a situation like this is to people with limited means.

[seanr]

This is a win win. Cop did his job to the letter of the law. Politician did not expect special treatment bc of his office, despite sharing dissatisfaction with an unjust law. Said politician then goes and changes the law for the betterment of his constituents, and himself. Bravo.

[georgeh]

Good on the cops for not treating him differently from anyone else.

[opmike]

Amazing. Politicians start to realize how SHITTY some laws are when they start affecting them directly.

[jayjay]

So it takes "first hand experience" for lawmakers to actually take action on unjust and unlawful laws? Welcome to the "Land of the Free", Senator. This is a byproduct of YOUR work.

[funsharx]

I wonder what they’d do if they had to follow ALL of the laws that we all do
