So I'm on the Yakima Police Watch List Options

[Coomer]

I just got a call from my boss(not my immediate one but the one right under the CEO), and he's angry because the cops called him at 1AM last night and woke him up "because there's this very suspicious yellow car that just parked and some kid went into the building."

I have a key and a security code to the building, and they let me come to my office whenever I want so I can work on stuff. But now he's mad, because he thinks I was doing something suspicious, but all I did was drive normally, park, unlock, and go inside.

My boss went on to say that the officer was in an unmarked car and the officer mentioned that my car was on their watch list and being watched because of suspicious behavior!

This is straight-up ridiculous. I don't know what to do...I'm a good kid and I don't have a bad driving record and they have no reason whatsoever to put me on their watch list...I bet that's why I'm pulled over every other week too.

I dunno what to do...filing a complaint will only make things worse I'm sure.

I know what you are talking about Coomer. I'm getting the same thing, or atleast almost.

Actually just 2 days ago I'm driving home from my girlfriend in the middle of the night and some cop starts following me around town. Then after a while they pull me over and explains that this was just because they didn't know who I am.. They had to check it out.. I mean, come on.. How dumb is that? I'm going to my police station one of these days and complaining. This is just plain harrasment.

If I had been doing something wrong, fine. But they can't pull me over just because they think it would be a good idea. And the other cop is like "hey, don't worry.. it's just a rutine check. we haven't seen your car before"

We are "only" 17 000 people in this town, but wtf. they cannot know every car so why bother stopping them all one after another to "check them up"?

I say start taking notes when they pull you over and if it continues, file a complaint.
