Quote:Doesn't have to. It might not inconvenience me at all, but the black guy for cars back might find a cop shoving his head in the window to "detect the odor of marijuana" because the sergeant gave him a quota, and black people are easier to convict.


If you'd rather burn the Fourth and Fifth Amendments to keep the Boogeyman away at night, that's on you. I'll continue telling cops that I have no interest in conversing with them and will be proceeding on my way so that some sap like you can have weed planted in your jacket instead of having it happen to me.

 

WOW.  You have truly lost it.

 

First of all, most Law Enforcement Officers won't profile someone on the basis of ethnic background, unless they are looking for someone specific.

 

Second of all, a police officer would never "shove their head" through an open car window.

 

Third of all, the odor of alcohol and/or marijuana is very easy to detect simply by someone opening their window up completely.

 

Finally, I would say that 99.9% of Law Enforcement Officers will not plant evidence on someone.

 

Oh, and by the way.  Contrary to your belief, there are no "quotas" given out.  I'll let you in on a little secret.  Police officers generally don't like to write a bunch of tickets or make a bunch of arrests for petty and/or misdemeanor crimes.  To do so means having to show up in court in some cases, and showing up sometimes really blows... especially if you work the graveyard shift.

 

Furthermore, your racist comment about "black people being easier to convict" is pretty much out of line, but then I again I shouldn't be surprised to see a comment like that from a liberal.
