Never got any tickets but getting harassed sux.
-One night at like midnight I'm driving down a street doing maybe 35 in a 45 and cop passes the other way. So of course I slow down a little bit. I see some headlights in my rear view and think that there is no way in hell anyone can pull a u-turn that fast. Go to the stop sign and then I see that its a cop while I'm turning onto the main road. I drive right at the speed limit so he'd leave me alone, but of course he didnt, instead he pulls up next to me and looks at me and my friend for about a mile down the road then drops behind me to pull me over. Walks up with his hand on his gun and all the fuckin lights that he can think to shine on me. Asked me if I stole my piece of shit 95 corolla w/ missing hubcaps and says that theres been complaints and pulled me over cuz my window was down. Bullshit. If any of you guys are from San Diego, this is in Scripps Ranch which is a rich neighborhood for anyone that doesnt know and predominantly white. If was gonna steal a car, it would NOT be a 95 corolla.... its gotta be an M- car or something like that. Oh and my passenger was white and said he didnt believe that shit about cops till he saw this one come up w/ his hand on his gun for no reason
-its like 11 and this is back when I was 17 in Rancho Penasquitos (rich neighborhood directly west of Scripps) and we're all hangin outside of jack in the box. Cop comes up and tells us to get out of here cuz of curfew. No problem, so we stand there for no more than 2 minutes trying to figure out where to go, get in our cars and leave. There's 2 other cars plus mine. We are leaving and he pulls me over. Now this is in my dad's 328i, ask for all my information and proof its mine, then ask if I wanna be taken down to the substation. Tell him no, ask if i want him to call my parents, say no. Says I need to leave as soon as he says to leave next time and he lets me go. we were out there for 2 minutes not even causing trouble and he let 2 of my other (white) friends go w/ out being bothered.
Both times I got pulled over I happened to be driving w/ my hooded sweatshirt, dont do that anymore, guess thats "suspect" around here.
-Uncle got pulled over for speeding like an hour north of san diego where there is pretty much nothing out there. They didnt want to pull him over on the freeway so they made him exit (not sure how they did that). Called 4 back up cars, after he gave the needed info with no resistance, handcuffed and sat him on the curb for over an hour, pulled EVERYTHING out of his car and brought the K-9's to sniff it all out..... for a speeding ticket.
*Cops can be assholes.
*Cops that profile are even bigger assholes. (I'm black BTW)
*Getting pulled over for bullshit reasons = :gayflag:
Sorry if it sounds like im tryin to turn everythin into a race issue, but those situations are scary as fuck when you know you got a jumpy cop w/ a gun... and then not a lot of other people have to put up w/ that shit for no reason.
Ok, I'm done.
