Default Investigators say Texas police made homeless people sign blanktickets

DALLAS - Two Texas police officers frequently made homeless people and
prostitutes sign blank tickets so they could later fill them out with
whatever offences they chose, according to a Dallas Police Department
investigation.

Police Chief David Kunkle said investigators concluded the two
officers used the blank tickets as a law-enforcement tool against
habitual offenders. If those offenders always had unpaid tickets, then
officers could obtain arrest warrants and take people into custody at
any time, Kunkle said.
