I agree profiling does happen..hell, it happened to me...I'm hispanic and was driving from Dallas to Houston a year or so ago...I was driving an older Lexus sedan and was pulled over by DPS for driving in the fast lane...apparently you're only suppose to pass in that lane and drive on the right...They asked what I did, if I owned it, etc...implying how I could afford this...I was actually in between jobs then...crazy stuff... As to AI, $10K for tags is ridiculous...at least he apologized...
If I'm a cop in Atlanta and i see two black dudes in a Lambo, I'm thinking "rappers", I'm thinking "drugs in the vehicle", and I'm pulling them over. Not to give them any sh**, just to see if they'll share the drugs. That's probably why I'm not a cop.
Bingo! When you know the REAL REASON you were pulled over. . it pisses you off. The Tag thing . . Meh . . it was dumb. The Talent thing . . . it took his team to the Finals . . .more than alot of players can say who were 'more talented' and 'more dedicated' I think folx must be young, dumb or just plain don't like the guy and looking for a reason to diss him . . I'm no AI Fan but that guy flat out WILLED the 76ers to the Finals and he was a trooper. Rocket River
apparently? are you serious? You didn't know that? All these people complaining about being pulled over for things they need to be pulling over people for more, i.e. cruising in the fast lane, chaning lanes with no signal, etc.
I've pulled the 'Do you know who I am' trick about 5 times now with the cops and it works every time.
Hm. So it appears you are correct. I was the first to mention race being a factor in a traffic stop. Looks I'm that guy, in this thread. IBTReal Racists I guess.
a douchebag cuts me off without signaling, I honk my horn, and he flicks me off. what's not to understand?
"entitled douches who think they are above signaling should get their car impounded upon being pulled over to the side of the road" it's not really the no signal that's your problem it's really about the cutting too close for comfort part of it
If you own several exotic cars being a famous basketball player, at least you can do is follow procedures or have someone buy the title sticker for you or whatever... Shoot, if I was Iverson I'd get my cousins to do my errands, like mow the yard, buy **** at Sam's Club and keep up with stickers on automobile.... But lets get real, If I had Iverson's money, I'd be acting a fool too because Why not, I'm a basketball star, party like a Rock Star equals #winning.....
But he never won any rings and every team he played for had to write him off a bad investment. Maybe not a waste of talent, even though he could have been the next Michael Jordan and Muhammad Ali combined, but at the very least a waste of other people's, um, expectations?
I looked at some Pinewoods, a Bang & Olufsen, couple of Curtis Matheses and a Harman; but none of them really stood out in terms of volume, cost or sound quality. What about you? Can yooooou think of any other good ..... ... ... ... Steeeeeeereotypes?
When an athlete ask says that quote the cop should pull a Rock and say "IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO YOU ARE"
My roommate and I got pulled over for not signaling a turn when turning into our street-by a bike cop-I should've just slammed on the brakes and made the cop run into the back of the truck.
