Does this happen on a regular basis or is it one occurrence in 10 year's time?

Years ago my car was illegally searched, by two undercover cops, in a shopping mall parking lot. I was parked and having a cigarette at the time. Supposedly some car stereos had recently been stolen and I supposedly looked suspicious. I was told they were going to take me into the station until I alerted a passerby who called 911. Four squad cars appeared and calmed these two losers down.

One summer my brother was working in a restaurant that was in within walking distance from home. He was stopped 3 times that summer by cops who wanted to know what he was doing out at 2 AM in the morning.

My husband and I were stopped while taking a drive for no apparent reason.

My husband was stopped by himself because he failed to signal, though he says he did.

Why? My reasoning: Out of a lifetime my family has run into 5 over zealous cops. My first experience was very unpleasant but I remained clam and tried not to get too much of an attitude. It's hard not to take these things personally but don't think that whites go through life unbothered by law enforcement.

I didn't say that they didn't I was pointing out that my husband who is white left before me, unaccosted and I being black was pulled over without explanation. Just relating an experience....
