Burns arrested for driving on suspended license

No idea what "traffic laws" he broke to receive these tickets but anyone stopping to consider that most of these laws, while maybe well intentioned and passed are ABUSED by law enforcement and the STATE and used as a way to fund raise. A young person out stopping 2 feet over a limit line at a stop sign or even rolls thru it safely. or a taillight is out, or you are 10 miles over speed limit accelerating up a hill or you failed to turn a indicator light on changing lanes or... I can go on. LE pulls car over, realizes it's a young person and rather than warn him writes him up (let's face it he's black, too happens more) banking on the fact that a kid is not likely to go to a court a try to fight it. The LE chalks one up on his quota. Next thing you know kid's license is suspended for not paying G__D___ Bull S___ fines. Also Remember, Artie didn''t have a dad growing up or maybe while he got these tickets a mom to advice him. He was busy caring for 2 siblings and a baby. I am not going to call him a moron, idiot, dumbass. etc. until at least more comes out on what these tickets were about. I am willing to give him slack. and think of him as a victim of our ever increasing law creating govt. Whatever.

I think the LE can be overboard. But it's more safety and precaution. Operating a vehicle is a lot of responsibility and taking into account not just your life, but the lives of other drivers.

I work around vehicles and work near an intersection where I've seen some pretty brutal rollovers.
There's a ton of laws that LE enforces. I agree, maybe LE can be a bit....too abusive. I'm on the fence with this.
 
Ok seriously

He's a PROFESSIONAL athlete for a contending team

He has 1100 in unpaid parking tickets which caused him a suspended license which he then drives on and including in those unpaid tickets is driving 130 in a 60 and on top of that he had a expired plate. Oh and I almost forgot he didn't have his driver's license with him.

If you guys can't see he's a moron then you are all morons too

Absolutely idiot
 
The first few times can be blamed on youth, we've all been there.

But this is pretty blatant on his part, so he gets no pass from me.

Don't blow it kid, your career could vanish in an instant.

He's an idiot.
For repeat offenses and well...with his salary just pay the damn tickets!
 
Yes this is stupid and minor but it is still a concern.

If you keep getting speeding tickets they will eventually adjudicate you as a ***** will offender. Then traffic offenses start to become felonies. Someone in the Steelers organization needs to sit Mr. Burns down and have a come to Jesus meeting with him.

yep....Harrison needs to get in his face and put the fear of God into this kid
 
Is it just me or are our players dumber than the average bear?

It seems to me the Steelers used to put more premium on character. However. Character is great when it is supported by talent. Now this kid was the guy who was taking care of his brothers and sisters. He gets a bit of a pass because it was unpaid tickets. Still stupid.
 
This is a non issue. No drugs, no drinking, no spouse/GF abuse? I'm fine with this police blotter compared to what we usually receive...


When compared to the blotter of the AVERAGE police blotter of OTHER NFL players, I agree with you fully. But when compared to the average citizen, blotter or not it's ridiculously unsmart. YES he took care of his siblings but that should have made him less careless and more precise at taking care of this. Regardless, you or I would have had our tire blocked. He has gotten "CELEBRITY" treatment and NOW needs to get this **** taken care of. Why do things have to get extreme before these kids take notice??? Society has definately changed and not neccessarily for the better. The character / ability / team 1st / Integritty has all been watered down way to much.




Salute the nation

hopefully he learns from this and he becomes a role model for the community. He already is raising a family by himself

Rant over? As much as you may want to believe there was prejudice involved, I believe it states he didn't show up for court.
As far as I know, when you fail to appear, a warrant is issued for your arrest.

Everybody sees TV and thinks south beach is Miami....lol...everything outside of south beach is **** and nasty.

South beach isn't that great either. West coast is much better.

LE had every reason to pull him over. His stickers were expired. When they ran his plates, they got all the info they needed, as well. I don't know what is going on in his life to judge, but to obey the state laws is Owning a Car 101. Pay your tickets, registration, etc. He has to be more responsible. LE has a job to do and keep you, me and him safe on the road.

Aren't all of those laws optional? I mean really? Do you really have to come to a complete stop at a stop sign? Is not that just an option...if you want to you can stop but if not just slide right through it. Keeping up on your registration. ..really. I mean who really does THAT?? And paying your fines? Come on dude. NO ONE DOES THAT!!!! All of that stuff is the LE being nick picky. Are not there more important things they should/could be doing?

they can be nick picky, but I rather them be safe than sorry. For my own good, too. Is it stolen, is he just forgetful? They don't know, so it's their job to find out why he's not obeying the law. Hopefully, going forward, he will be more conscious of it.
 
They were the rough looking lezbos, not the fun ones. ******** drove around for 30 ******* minutes before taking me to jail.
So, THAT, explains the limp!!! LOL

You missed the sarcasm...

If you like a cold ocean, high expenses, and being behind 3 hours, sure the West coast is better than South beach. There is a reason why South beach remains very popular with the wealthy. You also won't find more attractive women anywhere on earth, as they are imported to South Beach.

Miami a few miles west of the water is mostly a mess though.

Anywhere on earth? **** man go visit Colombia for a few days. Best looking women I've seen anywhere and I travel extensively.

First time I saw a Jamaican ghetto, I thought I was in Liberty City or Overtown. Bad place to be without a weapon. not that a weapon would make a whole lot of difference.

Liberty City

Nope...no Don Johnson in either place.

South Beach is full of Colombians, Eastern European women, Isreali women who look like wonder woman, and hot USA women from all over the place.

With all due respect, I live 20 miles north of South Beach and have traveled around a bit. South Beach is teaming with Victoria Secret like models, money, boats, sports cars, good food and night clubs. A magnet for hot chicks, with fine weather and blue water.
