Barb DiGi is sharing the story that she learned last night about the incident between her Deaf Mom's confrontation with a cop who did not even make any effort to communicate through writing! She requested for an interpreter but was denied. Barb DiGi investigates the rights of a deaf individual according to the law from NAD http://www.nad.org/site/pp.asp?c=foINKQMBF&b=101219. Also she found a cop forum page about their discussion on deaf drivers. Some questioned if deaf drivers should drive and even labeled Ridor as the another "I hate the cop guy." Take a look at this link http://forums.officer.com/forums/showthread.php?p=863906 to see how some of the police officiers perceive deaf drivers. Some of them even questioned if we could drive. See the quote written from a cop: "The other day I made a stop and found both the driver and passenger to be deaf. This surprised me, as I didn't think a deaf person could get a driver's license. But the driver presented a driver's license and it came back as valid."
