Neither do I, it's really not that hard to follow the laws, whether you agree with them or not. If you choose to do things that you know are illegal, why bitch about it? Man up and accept the consequences. I've been ticketed for tint before, I didn't get an attitude with the officer or go online and post some long winded rant about "fuck the popo", I paid the ticket and went on. I knew the consequences when I got the tint, and accepted them when I got caught for it, pretty simple concept.

Oh, yea, it happens. Often, at least where I was raised. You arent my facebook friend (if u even know what that is, lol) I was profiled in my NEW car.

I don't buy it. I'm not saying it probably never happens, but I'm sure it's waaaaay more often than not that the driver of what "profiled" car was pulled over did something to be pulled over. Everyone seems to blame their indiscretions on them being profiled.

And I have no idea what you're trying to say in the second part. Later, QD.

Well as my post on FB stated. I was driving home from a friends house in Portsmouth, OH (where u see my car pictured). Up route 23 during the time change. It was 3am, a Ohio Highway Patriolman ended up behind me at a light. He drove behind me for 1.4miles, speed limit is 35, I was going 35 as I knew he was behind me. Over the bridge through 3 more lights... then turns his flashers on and pulls me over in a Pizza Hut parking lot. I have the white Accord u see in my sig.

He comes up and before he even speaks I say "you have absolutely no reason to pull me over, you're either hoping I'm drunk, carrying drugs, or 'could be drinking, so I'll give you a min for you to think of a reason you pulled me over'". He stutters saying "ah.. ah.." so I interrupt and say "yea, just because Scioto county was on A&E and National Geographic for meth and pills, you feel that u can just stop 'me' (as I was upset) all the time". Then I finished and said "I'm sick of being profiled here, it happens everytime I'm in town..."

So he doesnt even look in my car, takes my license and registration to his car, 2mins later comes back and explains he pulled me over because of my vanity plate, the lightly tinted plate cover. (not because I'm missing my front plate, which would of been a reasonable excuse to stop me IMO). He finishes with a "is this your car?? I say "what does the registration say?" He hands my things back and I leave. 3mins total time for the stop, just to check, when nothing was wrong.

So you started off a traffic stop by being a dick? I would have made your night a PITA. lol

Driving at 3AM police typically will follow you or stop you for a quick look. Not many people are out at that time and many that are are up to no good. I'm glad they do it, every now and then they do find someone that is up to no good. That's HAS NOTHING to do with your car though, it's a damn Accord, not a Ferrari. lol

I've been pulled over many times late at night, never gotten a ticket, never been harassed, always a friendly conversation.

As for those of you saying cops profile, yes, maybe they do if you're driving like an idiot or driving a fast and the furious machine with your seat reclined, arm halfway out the window, and hat on tilted up. You look like monkeys.

You look like monkeys.

Why you gotta go straight to racism?

Exactly. Why did you have to be a dick to the cop? Maybe he was just checking if the car was stolen. Maybe next time someone jacked your nice ride at 3AM while you're hugging your pillow the cop wouldn't pull them over and it would be on a boat to South America by the time you wake up and report it....

Yes I started off being a dick. He has no reason to stop me. You actually live in a big city (or metro) where people actually are out and about at 3am. The time changed, it was actually 2am till 2:01am when it jumped an hour. Secondly, I received no ticket, because he had NO REASON TO STOP ME. Nothing whatsoever, I was not speeding, not tailgating, no loud exhaust, nothing. So I helped him shorten his unnecessary stop.

If he was not profiling me, wouldn't he have continued his duties as an officer would normally do? Like actually call into dispatch for info on the driver? Or, as he claimed, that my vanity plate "obscured vision of my license plate" wrote me a ticket to fix it, at the very least? He did none of that.

So you're driving through a county known for meth and whatever other drugs at 3am and you wonder why you might be pulled over? And how is this related to you being pulled over because your car was profiled? Seems to me you were pulled over in a known drug area during the wee hours of the morning. I don't see profiling at all. Later, QD.

[frostbyte]

I may add as well... He and his commanding officer frauded the police report and the cop was a transfer from fulton county because of the same reason... Fraud!!! Like most state city or county cars now days the camera turns on when the lights are flashed therefore he woulda recorded pulling me over but all 9 traffic stops leading to arrests that day the camera didnt record somehow.... Go figure

No, I have family I visit every 2 weeks and have friends like everyone else does who are adults without curfews. I was raised there and have been stopped unncessarily far to much. I mention my car because the area is depressed, if someone is driving something "out of character" it warrants a stop. Not because the car is hot, but because the driver doesnt fit the car. I can't put his tense in words because this is text but the sentence "is this your car" is not the same as professionally asking is this your car. As if he just assumed it wasn't mine.

Oh and if I may add, this place wasnt "known" for meth till after the National Geo and A&E broadcasts. Since Floridians like to call Portsmouth home and sell 90 day supplies of Oxycodine and such for $200 and a signature.

First off, Portsmouth is hardly a big city. And whether or not it was "known" by the public (through TV) as a hotbed of meth activity, it was known to local DEA (and other police) of it's illegalities. Also, curfew or not, driving around at any time of of the wee hours (especially in a "drug town") is surely to draw some attention. It may not be warranted, but it could happen. Personally, I would be happy if I was a law-abiding citizen living in such a town and knew that the police were out there looking for folks involved. Lastly, I don't understand the act of being an asshole to cops. Why intentionally make matters worse? If you know you're good, just go through the motions and be on your way. Later, QD.
