ROADBLOCK IN INDIAN TRAIL N BEAVER RUIN

[quickdodge®]

Here's an example. I've had a Gwinnett PD pull me over and claim a taillight was out as his cause for stopping me, when we both knew that wasn't true. He then asked could he search my car, and I asked him why. He answered that he just wanted to see if I had anything illegal on me, or any stolen goods in my car. I refused his search, and he started to try to write me a ticket of a taillight out. I turned my lights on, and asked him to show me the taillight that was out - both worked fine. He then tried to claim it was a brakelight. I quickly shoved a wrench on my brake pedal, and asked him to show me which was out. He got flustered, and told me to get in my car and leave. He walked back and left. Tell me that is ok. He was on a fishing expedition from the start. I had nothing to hide, but I knew my legal rights, and I exercised them.
Oh yeah, I was in a stock Ford Probe, not a modified car.
I've also been pulled over a couple of other times in that car, just so that they could check registration, and search the car. I always refuse searches, and I have never had anything to hide.

I got pulled over in a roadblock riding with a friend (beat up old car) a few years ago. They accused us of having marijuana and smoking marijuana within the last 24hrs, which I have never smoked, and he hadn't in months, or had any in that car ever (only 1 month since he got it).

They searched the car and held us up for a half hour until they told us "get the hell out of here"

They just saw a couple of young guys and profiled us, hoping to find something good.



Thanks for the heads up.

when i was 16 i was driving a navigator my mom had giving me to drive not to keep so i would be driving around and i promise you no shit the cop had someone pulled over and i was in a turning lane he just saw me that i saw him and he just let the person and got in his car got behind me and pulled me over in a process of 30-seconds to 1 minute he got me out of the car called back up ask me "do you have any type of drugs residue anything a bag with nothing on it anything if you tell me the truth i will just let you go with a ticket if i find it i will take you to jail and give you hell for lying to me so i called my mom and i told her to call my lawyer because this guys were actually being dicks and shit
so i the cop told me to get off the phone and i said no i was on the phone with my lawyer so my lawyer said to tell him to give me a ticket so we can settle this at court the cops just let me go but my lawyer was not done yet so told me to get the badge number and everything i still got it that the cop got a written warning my lawyer did all the paperwork and it was for harassing me for no reason

I have not been pulled over in several years in gwinnett. I was pulled over in my 1967 ford mustang for a tail light being out i was about 20 at the time me and my buddy were going to grab a burger for dinner when i was pulled over. For the same reason a tag light being out, He walks up and hand him my licence and insurance car, he shines his flash light in my back seat as see's my base ball bat.

He asked me whats the base ball bat for some one talking lip? I told him its for baseball. he then asked if i would consent to a search of my vehicle. I told him being pulled over for a tail light does not give you probable cause to search me. Note I have no criminal record besides a few trafic tickets on my record at the time.

He walks back to his cruser and comes back,

Cop= we have a problem Mr XXX

me= And what would that be officer?

Cop= who is the registerd owner of the vehicle

Me= I am the registed owner?

cop= who owned it before you?

Me= It was in my fathers name over 3 years ago?

Cop= Well the tag said this vehicle is registerd to a anna hathaway out of cobb county!

Me Sir There is no way I know my tag has a gwinett county sticker Let me reach in my glove box and hand you the registration with my name and address with the gwinett county address on it.

Cop=Oh No dont worry about that just call the dmv tommorow.

So I call the dmv And yes the car was registerd to me, The cop lied to me to see how i was going to react after i would not allow him to search my vehicle, And no my tail light or break light was not out. He saw a young guy in a nice classic car and might have thought i was a drug dealer or something.

Again, I must be lucky, then. I've never been pulled over for no reason. I've had my vehicle searched on a few occasions. Probable cause for search? I have some sort of slight "shaking" issue. It has nothing to do with being nervous as I do it in regular times, too. I have no medical reason to give any officer so they wonder I'm so nervous. They search, find nothing and I'm on my way. I literally do not see (or have happen to me) all this stuff you guys say you see.

you get profiled for having a modified car now days period everywhere you go and everywhere you seen by a cop who havent had his list filled up!

This is the tiredest thing I see when it comes to getting tickets. I've been getting pulled over since before you were born, homey. I've also been pulled over in modified cars (from low-riders to hot rods) since before your introduction to the world. Profiling was never the root cause. I've been pulled over in hoods and other places I "should not be." But I've always given a reason to be stopped. Everyone wants to blame their indiscretions on someone else. Later, QD.
