ok, so u were rolling through a stop sign... wasn't that cop within her rights to stop u then? at least she had a reason why she stopped u... did she give u an attitude when she pulled u over? did she talk down to you & make u feel disrespected at all? if you can say yes to these questions then you might have a case to point out here about reverse racial profiling, otherwise this is a pointless thread.

obviously you have already missed the point of the thread.

Nalod got profiled and pulled over.......

I on my way to work but had to make a stop. Was cutting thru a neighborhood of mixed middle class. Blacks and whites, jews and gentiles, Asians and Indians.....and Mrs. Po Po pulls me over, lights a flashing.

Im driving my 2 year old Teutonic love sled. Its very shiney BTW.

Black women cop. She got her hand near her pistol. I open all my windows and put my hands on the wheel. She asks if I knew why im getting pulled? I wanted to say "Cuz im speeding and rolled thru the stop sign?) She wants my License and Reggie. License is in my brief case behind my seat and I ask her if it would be ok. I want her at ease cuz she got a gun and I don't. My Reggie is out of date. Like 6 mos out of date. She Asks if I know this. I respectively said no. Its 5:30am. Im cutting out early so I went early to my office.

She told me dhr pulled me cuz I rolled thru the stop sign and my car was suspisious looking. She wrote me for the expired Reggie and said she appreciated my "way" so she let me off on the stop sign violation. I'll get my reggie taken care of and I'll go take care of the ticket which they will let me slide if I show I took care of it.

Lesson:

I did not argue with her or try to talk my way out of it. What I did I would do with any cop, white or black. They are nervous when they approach a vehicle and I showed respect not for her authority, but for the job she has to do. She is entitled to enforce the laws. That is her job.

Did I have do what I did? No, but I did not take it personal. I rolled thru the sign and maybe 10 other cops don't pull me for that. I did not ask her what suspicious looking meant. Maybe if she wrote me up for everything I would ask her but she technically let me slid. For that I was grateful.

I suppose if I got all indignant about getting pulled, pulled by a women, and did the white man pulled by a BLACK women thing and showed it all im sure her juice card would have swelled and she would have enjoyed her authority on me. Im sure if I yelled at her "do you know who I am"? and got out of the car she would have cracked my head open. Instead she was nothing but professional and demonstrated mutual respect. She gave me my citation warning, said "nice car, don't park it around here! Have a nice day".

Bottom line was I messed up and did not want a ticket. I wasn't trying to solve race relations in the united states, just that I showed consideration and was given some back.

ur kidding me right?

no i'm not. Nalod even said the cop thought his CAR was suspicious, and I suspect that was the part that was "profiled".

I guess you also missed these lines in this post: "Lesson:"... and then the last line: "Bottom line...". I think the major point of the post was something entirely different than the actual profiling part but rather the how-he-handled-it part.

seems like there's plenty of mentions of race in this post... the point i'm getting is that Nalod chose to act respectfully towards a cop who was following standard police procedure & not treating him in any way disrespectfully or with racial prejudice to me... so again, what does any of this have to do w/racial profiling? why even mention the fact that he was profiled when he clearly wasn't? unless he's leaving out some details of the story here, which is why i asked him for clarification.

hope that's clear enough for you now martin.

yea, I don't mess with the police.I try to give them what they want and move on. If I am wronged I fight it in court. No way you going to win any kind or argument or altercation with the po po's on the street. Be smart, get home, handle your problems in court...
