Lax Police Work Will Ensure a Suit

* Re “Proof of Insurance Checks Not Guaranteed,” Nov. 22:
Should I be hit and injured by an uninsured motorist who is found responsible, I can assure you I will investigate to see if the motorist had been stopped by the Garden Grove, Cypress and Fountain Valley police departments or any other police departments that are not citing the lawbreakers.
If they were, and not cited as the law requires, I plan to sue the respective city. I’ll bet my payoff is better than the insurance coverage had they been insured. The police departments that are breaking the law are putting their cities at unlimited risk.
