Boise, Idaho (CBS SEATTLE) An Idaho state trooper arrested and fully searched a 70-year-old Washington mans vehicle solely because he had a Colorado license plate a state where marijuana is legal a federal license plate profiling lawsuit alleges.
Darien Roseen was driving along I-84 between his second home in Colorado and Washington state on Jan. 25 when Idaho State Trooper Justin Klitch immediately pulled out from the Interstate median and began rapidly accelerating to catch up to Roseen, according to the complaint in a Courthouse News Service report. Exiting at a designated rest area, Roseen says he became uncomfortable that Klitch had followed him though he had not done anything wrong.
~~ snip ~~
At no point did Trooper Klitchs line of questioning relate to Mr. Roseens alleged improper driving pattern, the complaint states. Instead, Trooper Klitch immediately accused Mr. Roseen of transporting something illegal.
Roseens attorney, Mark Coonts, told Courthouse News that his clients constitutional rights were given no regard.
We believe that Americans should be able to travel interstate highways without being harassed and unlawfully detained because of license-plate profiling, said Coonts. Our client, Mr. Roseen, is a 70-year-old retiree who was returning from his daughters baby shower. He was stopped in Idaho and deprived of his constitutional rights because he was driving a car with a license plate from a state that ISP associated with marijuana.

I thought I-84 ran from I-90 Sturbridge MA to Dunsmore PA ending at I-81.
Krap, I go that way relatively frequently (for me anyway). MT has all sorts of Medical MJ joints now.
It usually is.
Maybe a (not unreasonable) mud pack on the plate is warranted.
There are repercussions for Colorado’s decisions.
I wuz always happy to be staying overnight in Idaho Falls.
I really want to know when was the last time that the cop beat his wife.
Yeah well, I was once stopped because I was driving without my shirt on. The CHP officer entered the freeway, saw a Nissan tailgating my Mustang, pulled up behind the Nissan and red-lighted him. When the Nissan pulled to the right the CHP didn’t want him but pulled ahead meaning the red lights were for me. The officer told me he stopped me because I had my shirt off and that given the time of day (4pm) I appeared to be a construction worker coming home and that in his experiences construction workers have a bad habit of drinking and driving. I asked him if he really stopped me because I didn’t have a shirt on and he said that had I been wearing a shirt “we wouldn’t be here now”. I asked him what about the tailgater and he said tailgaters aren’t as dangerous as drunk drivers.
There is a second I-84 that runs from Portland (OR) to Utah.
“Get over it”? Nope.
[ Right, and also lucky for him he didnt have say $500 or $1000 in cash on him, or they would have seized that in all likelihood.
This sh*t has got to stop, excuse my language. ]
HOW DARE A CITIZEN CARRY CURENCY ON THE KING’S GRUNDS!!!!
There’s much more to the story behind the link.
all honest lawmen should get out now.
when the reset occurs government at all levels is gonna be cleansed of this corruptness.
In the west I-84 runs east from Portland OR, southeast through southern ID and into northern UT where it joins N-S I-15. Most of the time it is a 75-mph interstate except in Oregon where they are anal about speed limits and require an attendant to pump your gas.
I F isn’t too bad.
Stay out of the bar over at the Shilo Inn unless you are Mexican or just looking for a fight.
It is not legally sold at this point in Washington State except for medical marijuana and those permits are not recognized in other states.
“When’s the last time you used marijuana?”
“Hmmm, now lemme think. Yeah, when was the last time you molested a choir boy?”
JBT’s
You can’t search nuttin without a proper warrant.
FKr.
You lied under color of authority.
Abused the 4th, 5th and 10th amendments and might as well toss in the 1st. You sought to legally and lawfully deprive me of my rights and begin prosecution of me based soley on where I had been and your presumptuous and pompous accusation, which extant to your deceipt implies you know who or what group of people I associate with.
I think I’d even go so far as to say you violated my 6th amendment fir excessive bailment and attendent provisions.
I would have no problem shooting your dogs to make a point but , fir the fact, I love doggies and can’t stand destruction of an innocent life.
If your dog could talk I’m certain we’d learn what a real Class -A Richard Head you are.
Dogs are like that you know. Honest and kind to a fault, unlike despicable wretches such as yourself.
You poosy. If you were snail slime there would never be a trail, as snails would be too embarrased to leave any trace of your miserable existence.
You will get yours.
Karma is such a bitch and there are days I thank God she is content on the hunt to, as she says, “pay it backward”. Mercilessly and with extreme prejudice.
When at the age of 70 you find yourself in despair, think back through your life and let your pussilescent presence be a torture to your mind and conscience until you are worm food.
