[PUBLISH.TWITTER] But we already guessed that.
St. Paul police released bodycam footage Tuesday of an Independence Day traffic stop involving Minnesota state Rep. John Thompson after the Democrat lawmaker claimed that he was the victim of racial profiling. Following the incident, Thompson received a ticket for driving with a suspended out-of-state license.

#9  ^ which gets back to he's not a resident, but since he's a Lefty, it's OK.

#8  He's been driving on a Wisconsin license since 2000. Something about Minnesota not allowing him to have one due to non-payment of child support.

That said, a lot of folks working in the Twin Cities live across the river in Wisconsin. Lower property and sales taxes. Although Minnesota requires that you get one of their licenses within 6-months of actually residing in their state.

#7   this Minnesota Representative was driving on a Wisconsin license

So, he doesn't even have a legal residence in the district he claims to represent. Being a member of the Party exempts you from all rules.

A law I would love to see.

ALL elected officials will be truthful regarding all community matters and NOT incite civil disharmony and distrust among the voters. Violators to face Recall within 30 days, when found to be in violation.

#4  Driving on a Wisconsin license because he was suspended in Minnesota. You try that, see how it works out.

#3  The part that no one seems to mention is that this Minnesota Representative was driving on a Wisconsin license. Also, he seems to have a rep for abusing the distaff side.

#2  To the race card playing crowd, "respet" means letting them get away with whatever whenever.
