Profiling 101

[kz45]

I'm not cop bashing, but I'm sure I saw some profiling tonight, on my way back home I was riding behind a guy in a jacked up car, 24os all the way around, dark tinted windows, this is around George o'neal, I didn't see him do anything wrong, but, the next light we stopped at a EBRSO K9 unit pulled up beside me, looked over and asked how I was doing tonight, then goes, " do you mind if I pull in front of you" sure, no problem I say, light turns green, we take off and then blue lights come on. I wonder if he is going to ask him how his night is doing, and see if the K9 hits on something

Maybe he pulled him over for the dark tint.

 

[kengel2]

You were actually the target. Drug dealers are known to have inconspicuous cars follow them with the goods, just so they get pulled over and not the dope.

If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck well........

Expired plate, MVI sticker, tail light out, blinker out, etc, etc.

".... which turns out they were stopping every single driver driving down that particular sidewalk, and that's PROFILING!!! And PROFILING is wrong!"

preception is reality.

I can think of about 10 different (litterally) logical reasons why that could have happened. Profiling is most certainly one of them. I know all of the SO K9 guys and that is unlikely. I have had most of them assist with one of my cases, and just about all of them end up like what you described.

My point is..... Just because a cop uses his lights to pass through an intersection, doesn't mean the donuts are hot. On rare occasion, they are.

Things are always what they seem.

NOPE.

Profiling is 100% right and legal and an invaluable law enforcement tool/

RACIAL PROFILING is illegal and by most opinons wrong.

What do you think the FBI uses to catch cereal killers? ( for you Spanky)

Profiling is simply taking into account certain behavoral trends to predict potentiality of crime. You still have to have a violation in the case of traffic or reasonable suspicion in the case of everything else to initiate an investigation.

When the primary or singilar factor is race, then it is illegal. Using certain vehicle types, location, time, direction of travel, is a very strong indicator for crimes like drug trafficking.

My apologies... I was quoting a comedian, but I can't remember his name. Always has a cigarette in his mouth and drinking whisky on stage.

ABsolutely not. The OP did not see a violation, so clearly the cop is a racist.

never mind the fact that the driver could have committed a violation the OP has no idea is a violation or did not see occur.

Or been a suspect vehicle in a previous robbery, rape, murder, or other crime.

Or been a known suspect with an active warrant.

Or been a known suspect wanted for questioning in another crime.

Or the obvious that the OP missed--illegal tint.

Or improper vehicle height.

Or.... any number of things.







You know when a thread starts off with "I AM NOT COP BASHING, BUT......"

It is going to be good

This just serves as a prime example that alot of peole will always look for the worst in law enforcement even when they have zero information about what is going on. It's a common trend.

Ron WHite?


Many people have the misconception you alluded to.

These are the same people that say "How come the cops can't ever catch the guy."

 

[deafdave3]

Ron WHite?

Yeah, that's him!!!

Sorry about the hi-jack, though.

 

[Yrdawg]

Ron White IS a profile...

When monster trucks 1st came on the scene someone made a law about "bumper height" to try to keep these monsters off the road. What did the builders do? Why moved the bumpers down of course! The trucks however were still jacked up just as high as ever! They had to re-write the law using a bit more thought this time. LOL

For all you know man the guy could have just sold dope to a UC and the K9 was making a stop.

 

[simplyorange]

if he was profiled, thats what he gets for driving a retired circus vehicle on public highways.

i hate those cars, i had one whip into my lane almost hitting me on a 4 lane highway to turn into the car wash, apparently his 26" rims would not clear the 16" fenders at 50% full lock.

It looks like you have been drinking the recent flavor of BS kool-aid.

The dog was able to alert on the smell of weed emanating from the car.

I think I worded my post wrong, I'm not bashing what he did, or cops, I had already profiled him myself, what I thought was cool was he asked how I was doing and then asked if he could get in front of me, not a big deal, he could have cut me off, nosed in with his front end, lights and siren, but he didn't
