Houston Cabbies Protest Mandatory ID Badge Law

More than 100 taxis paraded around downtown Houston’s Tranquillity Park today to protest Wednesday’s deadline for all cabdrivers who do business at Houston airports to wear photo IDs.

Starting Wednesday, drivers who seek fares at Bush Intercontinental and Hobby airports must have badges. To get them, cabbies will be required to pass criminal and immigration background checks by the Transportation Security Administration, a division of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Cab industry observers say this is the first such program for cabdrivers in the nation.
The demonstration, which passed in front of the federal courthouse and beside City Hall, came after a federal civil rights lawsuit was filed this morning on behalf of the Houston Drivers Fund, also known as the Houston Taxi Association.
The group represents 700 to 1,000 independent cabdrivers, about 95 percent of whom are minorities, the lawsuit states.

I agree with some, but cabbies in my neighborhood
are NOT mideastern, they’re from slavic countries,
can barely speak english, abuse the law, speed, have
run down a couple of people, are continually warned
by the police but seem to think they are immune to
prosecution.
Not only that, they leer at women, make rude
gestures and crude remarks at them.
If they can’t speak english, defy the law they should
be investigated.

First it’s the children wearing IDs in school, now most businesses…and now the cabbies…soon the gov’t will require all of us to wear IDs around our necks. Wouldn’t it be easier if we all just got tattoos on your forearms?

“he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on (in) their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Revelation 13:15, NKJV

If all the cabbies in Houston just up and left for another city, I think it would take the government about 30 seconds to repeal that law. This is what we all should start doing. Imagine what the government would do if every last one of us just stopped using airplanes? All the Homeland Security crap would dissappear just as fast as it arrived. The airlines have powerful lobbies in Washington, and if every one of them was facing bankruptcy, I think they would get those lobbiest to work really fast. The fact is, all the businesses and governments need us to pay the bills by buying and using things. If we just stopped buying and usings the things they’re trying to control, their regulations would go away fast.

Right on #7, that sums up what’s necessary to counter-attack the neocon agenda–peaceably and stealthily!
The power of the purse rules. It is used against us to make us conform…
Trouble is, the sheeple are confused and complacent. They are addicted to routines.

Huh. Kinda hard to pass a criminal test, when everything is criminal, including breathing air. I know, let’s approve everyone with the “free pass” ID like Rockefeller told Arron Russo.
I hate to say this, but get ready to fight. Keep the guns loaded. The more of us who think like this, the less chance they will have of beating us.
Martial law is TREASON, and anyone who attempts to enforce it is a traitor worthy of death.
PERIOD.

It sounds like a good idea. If I’m being dropped off in a strange place I’d like to have ’some’ confidence that the cab driver isn’t going to drive me out somewhere and kill/rape/rob me. I’m sure the law goes too far, as always, what should be a contraint for violent offenders only will be applied to minor posession and drug offenders. It feels like common sense to try to prevent violent criminals from getting the chance to be alone in a small place with strangers carrying lots of valuables….

Um. What’s the problem? I wore a photo ID as a taxi cab driver in Cincinnati in the 1970’s. I didn’t feel my freedoms were being infringed upon. It allowed the cab passenger to check that the driver of the cab was really registered to do business and was expected to abide by fair pricing requirements and was tested and qualified to be transporting people

should EVERYONE pass a background check just to work? even s---ty jobs like cabs or mcdonalds?
“OMG! Im near someone who might be a criminal! i just dont feel safe carrying all my valuables! Maybe we should make anyone who works with customers have a background check so we know its safe to come out of our homes!” – says the brainwashed pussies of america.
“OMG! he has a criminal background! I dont trust him! he shouldnt be allowed to work! we should just lock anyone up forever who does a crime or even thinks about doing a crime! even littering!” – says the brainwashed f---tards of america.
the fact is that YOUR government has CRIMINALIZED over half of the population, with most being for non-felonies.
the fact is that YOUR government has imprisoned over a fourth of all american citizens and taken away their constituional rights simply for being arrested!
the fact is that there is danger everywhere and you will never be safe. but humans have known this since the dawn of the age. dont trust your government to save you from anything. you think that if you are going to get killed/raped/robbed that a freakin background check would stop that? are you so freakin worried about getting raped or killed that you want all people you come into contact with to be background checked, ID’d, rubber stamped, and brainwashed like your pussy ass?
WAKE UP MORONS! THE ONLY ENEMY YOU HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IS THE GOVERNMENT. THEY HAVE THE MONEY, THE POWER, THE ABILITY, and THE MOTIVE TO TAKE YOUR BED OUT FROM UNDER YOU AS YOU SLEEP.
idiots. i hope you do get killed or raped or stabbed. pussy. then maybe you will regret not protecting your right to carry a gun.

“If you want absolute security, go to prison” — i think that was James Madison
Freedom comes with risks, if you take away all the risk, you have not freedom
