Dallas County Sheriff Dept

My review is not as an inmate, thug, ho, deala, junky, crook, pig, shysta or baby momma.
I’m just a regular every day boring white dude needing to get fingerprinted for work. AND let me tell you, when other places charge $ 40+ BUCKAROOS for fingerprinting, the Sheriff’s Dept only charges $ 5.00 and it’s FBI approved. Now that’s a deal a cheap cracker like me can appreciate.
Sure I could have been jacked, raped, stabbed, shanked or caught an STD just walking in that area and I thought my car may be on blocks when I returned, but what’s a guy to do for $ 5.00 bargain like that?
Oh yeah, make sure to have a guide because I could have found Jimmy Hoffa or Bin Laden quicker then working my way through that maze to get to the fingerprint room. Fortunately a friend of mine is a sheriff so he led the way. Also, the ladies working that room were an absolute delight so be nice to them and they’ll be nice to you.
Next time you need to get your fingers printed, I double dog dare ya to go there!

This government entity uses scare tactics to keep people on whichever side of town that it sees fit. At the time, I was in a pretty bad side of town for my job and was stopped by a Dallas County Sheriff. I was turning around to follow my co workers to a job site and he pulled me over before I could leave. He then proceeded to lecture me, no, yell in my face, about keeping in a better neighborhood. The gist of what he was telling me was that a white female should not be in a predominately black neighborhood. When I tried to leave, he told me that he didn’t like my attitude and to give him my license and told me that he was going to give me a ticket. He asked me inane questions like whether or not I have my contacts in or why I’m in Dallas and not in Houston (I live in Austin, so WTF). He then threatened to give me a ticket if he caught me in the same place in an hour.
Excuse me, but I am allowed to go wherever I want. I know that it is dangerous to be in certain areas of Dallas by myself, but I wasn’t by myself. It appears to me that the world would be a better place without the Dallas County Sheriff Depart.
