This is what happens when cops stop the 'wrong' person:

2. Cops do randomly run tags, and this cop didn't seem rude when he found out...

who she was. They're learning.

But, I remember a hushed up story at Newark Airport years ago when a Port Authority cop saw a black man in a Cadillac, so he must be a dealer, right? A little old for a dealer, but close enough to the profile.

The black man meekly followed the cop down to his little jail and obediently pulled out his ID.

The ID he pulled out was the one that said he was a Federal circuit judge.

That was the end of Port Authority profiling.

3. So they "ran the plate" and "nothing came back"

and that alone was cause to stop her?

And the only reason why the cop wasn't rude is because he was scared for his badge and his pension... I bet if she was just a hairdresser or somebody the cop would've had his ballsack real big....

6. Making assumptions are you? I heard the cop say "nothing" as in blank, nonexistent...

which could cause a stop.

And maybe, just maybe, this cop is one of the decent ones who wouldn't throw a hairdresser under the bus.

There are enormous problems with cops and the AA community, so is it necessary to invent some more?

7. Just calling it as I see it...

And yeah, while once upon a time I could give most cops the benefit of the doubt for questionable traffic stops of PoC minding their own business, they've long since pissed that away.

Yeah, a "legit" stop... You can just tell from her body language and the cops voice as he started stacking on the excuses (window tint, LOL) that something was rotten.

8. Is that not also making assumptions?

"which could cause a stop..."

Is that not also making assumptions? Fun to justify in ourselves what we indict others for.

4. The tinted windows were not to dark she was.

What complete assholes.

5. I must give the police props...

for not opening fire when she asked a question.



Glad she was safe and this didn't go badly.

9. Interesting excuse for stopping her.

Because he runs the tag and no info comes back. He automatically assume it's her fault. It's not like she could fix the system or have information on why her info doesn't show up.
