This is my only shy one. If that cop thought he was nervous then, he should have seen him on the phone to me! But I wasn’t even upset at him. From my ex, I know how hard it is to even tell if a car comes to a complete stop. You pretty much have to just watch the wheels and see if you see that little backwards motion. But in the complete dark? Give me a break.
I thought that they look to see that your head/neck bobs when you come to a full stop.
But in the complete dark? Give me a break.

In the dark taillights would be an easy tipoff of a car not stopping.
Where was the son driving? Was it in the heart of the drug area far from the beaten path. Did the son stop and chat with a drug pusher well known to the police? Was the son far off a normal path to transit the area towards home (where did he come from and where was he headed and is this block far off the intended route)? When questioned was the son nervous and were his answers consistent? Are the residents of that neighborhood fed up with drug dealing in their area and have they demanded that police do something about the crime in their neighborhood? Is the block the son was on one of the worst crime blocks in the patrol area? We don’t know the whole story. Since we don’t I’d give the benefit of any doubt to the police who just might be trying to do their job. The fact that the police didn’t find anything doesn’t mean they should stop doing their jobs and not stop anyone who might be out of place in their target area. Hopefully the police were courteous and explained their suspicions.
