With the Memphis Safe Task Force in place, Memphis is now a city with zero tolerance and some people forgot what that means. Memphians, trained by weak and overly tolerant city council members & leaders, got used to living by the simple rule of “that’s not legal, but it’s ok” .
Pushing for resolutions eliminating “pretextual stops” for operating a vehicle with safety deficiencies like no tail lights, expired or fake drive out tags, the city council created a lawless culture in Memphis. Speeding and reckless driving, smoking weed while driving and other crimes were handled with “look the other way” policies because of a soft on crime DA, city council and leadership. It’s taken federal agencies to step in and correct this mess.
The old city motto – “That’s not legal, but it’s ok” has been thrown out because THP does not answer to Memphis City Council and other leadership. And thank God!
