In the past three years, 22 Dallas, Texas, police officers have ticketed drivers for not speaking English.

However, there's no law on the books that requires drivers to speak English.

Ellen Goldberg explains how the controversial ticketing is being handled. This report can be seen by clicking the video box directly or the "WATCH THE VIDEO" link.

Way to go Dallas PD! I'm sick of all the political correctness of this day and time. If you can't speak English like most Texans, go back to your home country and speak your giberish there.
