liscense plate scanner Travis_0004 Jul 2016 #42

Why would the Officer scan the license ... Do you think they scan all licenses or even at random? .. 1StrongBlackMan Jul 2016 #44

Some departments scan every liscense plate Travis_0004 Jul 2016 #47

About 70% Travis_0004 Jul 2016 #50

IIRC Dylan Roof was nabbed by one of these plate scanners citood Jul 2016 #53

In a picture of dystopian equality, some departments have automatic scanners at stoplights Recursion Jul 2016 #61

What do you think cops are doing when they sit at the side of the road? Corporate666 Jul 2016 #62

Oh, it has a lot to do with black or white Recursion Jul 2016 #65

expired and suspended are two very different things Travis_0004 Jul 2016 #66

She started the recording after he was shot, because he was shot. nt tblue37 Jul 2016 #32

Oddly, the 31 times he was pulled over include parking violations. Igel Jul 2016 #59

It's crazy malaise Jul 2016 #60

But he was driving metroins Jul 2016 #2

But why was he pulled over? Sanity Claws Jul 2016 #3

I don't agree metroins Jul 2016 #5

But it turns out that his light was not broken and not out. It was just a fake excuse for tblue37 Jul 2016 #31

As Tom Jones was wont to sing, "It's not unusual. . . ." tblue37 Jul 2016 #51

I'm guessing it depends on where you live SickOfTheOnePct Jul 2016 #6

It's a reason to get pulled over bigwillq Jul 2016 #7

Except the light wasn't out. nt JTFrog Jul 2016 #68

I live in Minneapolis proper and I have never, NEVER seen anyone pulled over for a broken tail light geardaddy Jul 2016 #9

does FH have its own police force? maxsolomon Jul 2016 #12

Yes, FH has their own PD. If you read that MPD covered FH, it was crappy reporting. geardaddy Jul 2016 #13

okey doke maxsolomon Jul 2016 #14

Agreed. I don't trust suburban cops. geardaddy Jul 2016 #16

Stop this nonsense! StoneCarver Jul 2016 #23

My mistake. I went to the st Paul campus and I thought I saw cop cars with Falcon Heights on the sid geardaddy Jul 2016 #38

Could you clarify what you mean by "POC bs"? etherealtruth Jul 2016 #39

This imo explains why she was so calm and rational - this was repeated abuse by cops. Rex Jul 2016 #8

Not only that, but passiveporcupine Jul 2016 #19

I don't know, that is a good question. Did he get shot once in the arm or four times? Rex Jul 2016 #20

I am in my mid-40s and I have been pulled over one time. gollygee Jul 2016 #10

Do you drive metroins Jul 2016 #24

I've driving with a broken tail light without being pulled over. gollygee Jul 2016 #25

I'm pretty sure metroins Jul 2016 #26

I am quite sure that they can discern NO driver information from license plates etherealtruth Jul 2016 #72

You're wrong. metroins Jul 2016 #73

Again, you are quite incorrect about driver information etherealtruth Jul 2016 #74

Again, not true metroins Jul 2016 #75

My gosh .... i can't believe you are sticking with this .... etherealtruth Jul 2016 #77

Question: How would a police officer know ... 1StrongBlackMan Jul 2016 #43

I think its pretty obvious (as implied by the poster) .... etherealtruth Jul 2016 #78

As has been pointed out, the broken light was a lie. nt JTFrog Jul 2016 #70

wow, you are lucky. I have been pulled over for fake reasons many times. Vattel Jul 2016 #83

His tail light was not out this time, but that was the excuse the cop gave for tblue37 Jul 2016 #29

So here's where that's at. Igel Jul 2016 #64

I'm white they don't even ask for my license gwheezie Jul 2016 #36

It also helps that its not suspended Travis_0004 Jul 2016 #48
