We've seen this week how deadly and dangerous standard traffic stops can be for police officers on North Texas freeways, and laws designed to protect officers don't seem to work often enough. We've seen this week how deadly and dangerous standard traffic stops can be for police officers on North Texas freeways, and laws designed to protect officers don't seem to work often enough. Laws designed to protect officers don't seem to work often enough. Officer AJ Castaneda died on the George Bush Turnpike three years ago. His family has long since wanted freeways to be safer for officers and says this week's death of Carrollton police officer Steve Nothem only left them shaking their heads. "It's gotten that bad, where I just see people swerve three lanes over because they're missing an exit or they are not paying attention," Daniel Castaneda said. Castaneda, like a lot of us, doesn't like what DFW freeways have become. Read more:

Laws designed to protect officers don't seem to work often enough. Officer AJ Castaneda died on the George Bush Turnpike three years ago. “Our team saw the opportunity to expand our footprint in Texas, where we already owned nine multifamily properties in key markets,” Derek Graham, president and principal at Odyssey Properties Group, said in a statement. His family has long since wanted freeways to be safer for officers and says this week's death of Carrollton police officer Steve Nothem only left them shaking their heads.. "It's gotten that bad, where I just see people swerve three lanes over because they're missing an exit or they are not paying attention," Daniel Castaneda said.” Odyssey Properties purchased the 250-unit Huntington Meadows on Stratton Lane and the 68-unit The Dalton on Big Sur Drive in Arlington. Castaneda, like a lot of us, doesn't like what DFW freeways have become. There were some areas of the DFW Metroplex absolutely overrun with them. "There's no accountability," he said. In Grand Prairie, Odyssey Properties Group purchased The Belmont, a 260-unit apartment community on Tarrant Road that was built in 1983."At some point, for us to be some type of drivers app to where people drive a certain way and they're caught swerving changing lanes too fast, they are held responsible for it." Castaneda's brother AJ was a Grand Prairie police officer conducting speed enforcement on the Bush Turnpike when he was struck and killed in June 2019. “With [PricewaterhouseCoopers] identifying Dallas-Fort Worth as the fourth best market for overall real estate prospects and the region leading all metros for multifamily investment in 2021, we are confident in our decision to acquire three of the most desirable apartment communities in the area,” Odyssey’s Daniel Diaz said in a statement. A respected officer taken away by an unsafe driver. "I've had officers come out to me and tell me how AJ changed their perspective on how they did their job," Castaneda said.” Founded in 2004, Odyssey Properties Group is based in Hermosa Beach, Calif. But here is some good news. This week's death of Carrollton police officer Steve Nothem has raised new concerns about traffic stops on freeways. "They just have to always make sure they're in a good frame of mind when they go out there," Catherine Smit-Torrez said. Dallas-Fort Worth is the with almost $23 billion in sales in the last year. Smit-Torrez is the former Cockrell Hill police chief, who says officer training can only do so much. "Officers are always taught how to approach, where to stand when they're facing the driver and how to be cognizant of traffic coming," she said. "If you're pulling somebody over, whether it's a DWI or whatever, it's not safe to pull somebody over on the highway they need to get off on the exit ramp if that's possible," Castaneda said. The same weather pattern led to an explosion of the aphid population across our area. Texas law requires motorists to move at least one lane over from an emergency vehicles but officers tell me it's difficult to enforce and not the solution to this problem. In: .
