This was at a traffic stop where the only people being pulled over are hispanic. It wasn't the cars because a nice RX-7, my car and a Mustang GT vert were all pulled, the only bad car pulled was this lady on her way to work driving an early 90's Cutlass and it was just dirty from the pollen. I don't know why I got pulled but when every person sitting on the side of the road are hispanic or look hispanic sitting down the road from a hispanic neighborhood I put 2 and 2 together and realize they are looking to give an easy ticket. I sat there for at least a half hour and most of that time they just let people pass through without looking at their license unless they were hispanic. You can say i'm just complaining because of racism or the car I drive, but when I can go into a courtroom and tell the judge that the officer pulled me because I was somehow speeding at a stoplight in a nice bright ticket me yellow Lancer and the officer sitting beside me cannot defend himself because he has no proof other than the ticket he wrote then you tell me who's at fault. Cops make just as many mistakes as everyone else, here's an example, Randy Braswell a state trooper on motorcycle patrol spends his off time racing his Cavalier Z24 in south Charlotte, but pulls me over and tickets me for doing 63 in a 55, the kicker is he pulled me in my own driveway and my dad was right in front of me doing the same speed. The thing is the state makes money off our mistakes and it will do anything to exploit them, most people feel they do not have what it takes to fight the system so the system will milk them for what they have and then wonder why they are sitting in a welfare office or crowding unemployment offices trying to find a job they can walk too, but i've done it enough times I could be a lawyer, I have lost my license but it took those SOB's 14 tickets and 4 years to get it from me and i'll have it back next month, unfortunatly it will cost me a few hundred, but as long as they get their money they don't care. I am not afraid to admit when I did wrong, I got nailed pretty hard when I wrecked my Mustang but I was doing something stupid that as a 17 year old kid I shouldn't have been doing so I deserved it, I know when I deserve a ticket and I know when i'm being f***** around with.

thats another thing that bothers me... is this race card crap. im getting really sick of it. i find myself being "overly" nice to people of color to avoid being accused of something i am not. did you think maybe they were looking for a latino/mexican suspect? maybe they are in a heavy-hispanic area. maybe you are thinking that everyone is hispanic looking and that white people are being let away.

heres the other problem with what you are saying "14 tickets and 4 years to get it from me" i believe that if idiot drivers like you werent given tickets in your driveway you'd probably kill someone driving. should it really take 14 offenses for you to lose your license? it should take three. and if three were the standard im sure they wouldnt give your so-called "driveway" ticket. lay off the gas pedal and quit messing around... you'll eventually understand.

Now here's my response to that, of those 14 tickets I have been charged with maybe 5, most of the time the cop doesn't have any form of proof because he just guessed I was doing wrong, his guess cost me money, while he gets to take his patrol car and do every bit of 70 (35 zone) in front of my business around a blind corner and not even bother with the stop sign, not to mention that he had no sirens or lights on. Another one I get pulled over so the cop can get in front of me in traffic, the SOB turned his sirens on long enough for me to get out of the way then turned them off again, but if I didn't pull over he would have charged me with evasion. The best one was I got a ticket for wreckless driving and endangering lives, see the cop claimed I did a burnout in my Sierra but the problem was I was in a totally different area from where he claimed he seen it sitting in my truck with it off, I pulled his report for that day and it turned out the exact same time he give me the ticket he was dealing with an accident about a quarter mile down the road from where he pulled me, my guess is he was going to an accident and heard the tire squeal and seen me, this young guy in a vehicle that looked like it needed to be on a track, I told him if it had been me there wouldn't have been a squeal and there would have been enough smoke to fill the parking lot. I lost my license because of some stupid law change and they cut the points requirements almost in half, well I was at the very bottom of that half in points. I have done wrong but I have also been pulled for speeding at a stoplight, being young and not speeding (cops hate that one), accelerating up a hill, not slowing down quicker than the cop when entering a new speed zone (this one is good because the cop slowed down almost a half mile from the new zone), I did get an honest 70 in a 55 but the cop was in a blue Z28 that looked like an everyday vehicle and was revving and lighting his tires at a stoplight trying to get me to race, the list goes on and no these aren't what I was charged with but if you do enough b****ing in court they usually drop it or throw it out because they know as well as I do it's true.
