why was that thread locked? I mean yes that kid was retarded but you know, was it worth banning? People had some good stories... (sob) I thought I was in a community... (sob)

Because everyone else's skin was the same color, if they just picked me out it would have been different but I sat there and watched them let everyone else flash their license and go through, why just make the hispanics pull over? We have a problem with having a lot of illegal aliens as I said before, but instead of writing a ticket why not put them in a squad car or have a van there to take them back, instead they give them a ticket for a fake ID and let them go. If you rephrase it then you're implying that I was doing something wrong, but I don't have to be doing something wrong, if a cop has a quota to meet and they want to give a ticket it's my word against theirs. The deal is cops are humans and they have authority and just like any human they try that authority thinking they are fixing a problem when they actually cause them in the long run, let's say someone who never gets in trouble gets pulled by a cop and didn't do anything wrong but the cop claims they were doing 70 in a 55 and writes a ticket well they never do anything wrong so they go to court and the judge that day is in a bad mood and throws the book at everybody, well now this 70 in a 55 turns into a reckless driving charge and the court charges to the full extent tha day so now the judge decides to give the person a punishment of two months suspended license and this person goes home without their license. Now it doesn't seem fair but the fact is it happens all because these "professionals" let personal matters effect their work. Now go a week later this person lost their job because of a lack of transportation and they can't go job hunting since they don't have a way to get there. When the time comes to get their license back they lost their home, job, and an a** load of money for court and the fine to get their license back. Now as I said these "professionals" had a pissy day and took it out on this person, and what makes this so bad is it happens in real life, i've been pulled for speeding because a cop claimed I did it when I was behind a rig the whole time, it was some guy that flew by because we weren't going fast enough and he jumped in front of the truck, but I got the punishment for it. I travel a lot, it's part of my job so I will more than likely have some run in's with the police, that is what I mean by wrong place at the wrong time.
