“A routine traffic stop,” the police told him. A routine traffic stop, with more than a dozen police cars including Minnesota highway patrol, St. Paul, Minneapolis, University of Minnesota and Ramsey County officers lined up with lights flashing.
Stan isn’t buying it. For one thing, the police never gave any reason for pulling him over. They never asked to see his vehicle registration or proof of insurance. Instead, they asked him: “Have you ever called the police before?” and “Do you like cops?” And then they towed away the big, green bus, telling him they had to “ascertain whether it was being used for commercial purposes,” and that they had to make sure it was safe to be on the road.
I just got one side of the story, from the Wilsons, with Megan crying as her home-on-wheels rolled away. I just got one side of the story, because when I asked the cops what was going on, they told me what they have been saying all day. “I don’t know. Step back. Stay on the other side of the street.”
