Of course the cop needs more to make an arrest, but getting pulled over is part and parcel of driving a car, just like stopping at traffic lights. It happens to most people, and it's nearly always for a reason. Does it happen to more people than others? Sure. I'm betting black Mercedes get pulled over more often than Nissan Micras. I'm guessing fast cars get pulled over more than slow ones. I'm guessing people of all races get pulled over more often in crime hotspots than in low crime areas. Cops have got a job to do, and racial profiling is inevitably part of that job, because skin colour is an important aspect of a person's description. Is offending racially sensitive people worse than crime?
Oh lord you are so very wrong ong

With so many excuses I'm starting to think you are getting ready to jump out of the closet

Having to see someone as suspect because "they are black" and "drive a car" is exactly the kind of broad generalization that people are so against ong
