School District Cops Ticket Thousands of Students
More fee harvesting. “Dallas ISD’s police department, for instance, issued criminal citations to 92 10-year-olds in the 2006-07 school year, the latest year for which such data is available.” These tickets “can have fines of between $250 to $500, police and court officials say.”
