It says in the article that Mr. Ward was arrested and carried to jail by the State Troopers. Well around a month ago a State Representative from Talladega County had an accident and wrecked his truck in Coosa County. As per the article the State Trooper did not even ask for his license but was shown Mr. Hurst's legislative ID card even after smelling alcohol. Hurst was not checked for drinking or arrested. There is a double standard in this State that shouldn't be there . Here is the link for folks to decide for themselves.

Darryl, it should be obvious that cops are themselves above the law. I have been in Greenville, and seen police speeding around, doing the rolling stops at stop signs, not use turn signals, not use seat belts and talking on cell phones while cutting other drivers off. And yet, they dont get tickets. Where is the justice in that? I have even seen police officers off duty being looked over for doing the same things. But what can we as citizens do about it? Absolutely nothing! It's a proven fact that the judical system in Butler County does not work for the commoner. But its a great system for law enforcement, and people directly associated with them.
