ouch. ACLU got

 

lol. you make a good point

 

then you don't get around much. I believe his story.

In my 18 yeasrs of driving I have seen enough officers that act like complete ******** when they feel they can. But I will say that the majority of officers out there do their job right and are not powere trippers.

 

Actually I have been stopped for no reason at all. Driving down the road pass a uncoming cop car. He busts a U-Turn follows for a little bit. Then pulls you over with some bullshit excuse. This type of stuff usually happens to young drivers with a certain type of stle of car.

Last time this happened I was about 21-22. A young busted a U-Turn and pulled me over one late night when I was coming home from school. He asked a bunch of stupid gangbanging, drug, alcohol questions his tone wasn't very nice. My reply was that I was coming home from the school library. I don't remember his exact reply but it was somewhere along the lines "yeah right this late, let's look at your record" I replied "Look next to me there's my book bag, and a gallon of milk, not really gang material is it?" Then I proceeded to say something as "Ok I know that you are not legaly pulling me over for the type of car that I drive (lowered pickup truck), which is fine whatever. I'm sure you catch a lot of bad guys this way. But I expect you to realize that the way that I speak, look, and interact with you does not fit your gang profile and therefore tone it down a bit. The older officers certainly do" I don't really remember what was said afterwards but essentially he let me go afterwards.

^^ a have quite a few of those stories it happens more often than you think.
