Doc’s letter alone won’t stop McClain tint ticket
By Seth Burkett
The Decatur Daily

A doctor’s letter citing Rolando McClain’s “photosensitivity” was not enough to prevent him from being ticketed last week for dark tint on the windows of his pickup, law enforcement officers … More »

I guess that is why he wanted to get suspended from football practice..too much sun!

So now it comes out that McClain is charged as a reckless driver and not showing proof of insurance besides his window tint charge and not knowing his name. If I was McClain, I believe I would stay in Oakland, CA so he can argue with his coach. It is obvious he doesn't respect the laws in Decatur. I hope the judge throws the book at him. Maybe some jail time will allow for an attitude adjustment which I believe he needs.

Wonder if he's any relation to O.J. Simpson?

How mature of him.

Once a thug, always a thug!!

Y'all are looking at this situation all wrong...All Mclain needs is to be invited to the White House for a Beer Summit!

If Obamie had a son bahahaha bet he would be just like this thug

There is no doubt about the judge in Decatur "throwing the book at him"! They have mercy on no one here in Decatur.....

Brandi, I totally agree with you! Signed, Daniel Wade Moore.

Just curious if all the windows in his house are that tinted? I mean really, if he has a problem that severe they should be.

I sho nuff is liked dat turkey he gived me...he sho is a good ole boy, we needs mo likes him in decatur to teach our little uns how to act. he be my homeboy!!!!

hes a highly paid football player, so he thinks hes above the law. funny how noone knows who he is or even cares who he is until he comes to Decatur & gets hisself into trouble. BAN HIM FROM DECATUR. & invite Lacy :)

that tint law is one of the most ridiculous laws ever written. officers know the dangers of their profession when they sign on. civilians should not have to cater to their insecurities. if they are scared to walk up to a car, quit the job. as for this particular case, it does sound like he's abusing his position but then again, he's not the only one to ever manipulate his career to get by with things. the small town cops around here do it daily. i saw one run a red light earlier today. and not just a yellow light..my light was already green and had been for a number of seconds when he ran it. but if he had hit me and injured my children, anyone really think he would have gotten more than a slap on the wrist?

T-Bone and Frank....you idiots never cease to amaze me!!!! If Obama had a son, he would be like his father...YOUR future PRESIDENT!!!!!

Ole Judge Glenn Thompson will mess this case up.

It is unfortunate that time will take care of all of this. Life is long and success isn't, unless we are good stewards of our gifts and talents.

Ol' Rolando needs to just take his smart ass somewhere else and quit Decatur for good. He's nothing but a thug with an attitude. Like everyone is just supposed to be in some kind of awe of him for being a hotshot football player. Take a pill, Ro, and get OVER yourself.

Alabama has a OIVS system now.

As much as I dislike Rolando and his Thug lifestyle he will appeal and probably win because he cheated the hangman once and he has laid the ground work for him being harassed.
