No doubt there was a bench warrant issued for Obama's arrest for failure to pay the fines. His license must have also been suspended. That is all common practice for those who don't pay tickets. A simple Motor Vehicle search would show those items if some crook politician hasn't made them disappear.

'Scofflaw' Obama has history with 'stupid' Cambridge police.
Condemns action of officer at department that ticketed prez 17 times while a student.


This is the most significant part of that story:

According to the Somerville Times in 2007, as a Harvard Law School student, Obama got 17 parking tickets during 1989-1991 from the Cambridge Police Department that he left unpaid until just weeks before he announced his bid for the presidency.

"In other words, as a practicing lawyer in Chicago, he allowed these tickets and penalties to remain unpaid; as an Illinois state senator he allowed these tickets and fines to remain unpaid; and as a United States senator he allowed these almost-two-decade-old signs of his disdain for the law to remain unpaid," commented John LeBoutillier on Newsmax.com.

The Washington Post said two years ago that the tickets included parking without a proper permit and parking in a bus stop.

what I think we know separate and apart from this incident – is that there is a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately, and that's just a fact."

Perhaps when Blacks and Latinos stop committing a disproportionate number of crimes, the police will cease stopping Blacks an Latinos disproportionately.....
