An alleged recording of police audio claims to have captured the moments before Philando Castile and his girlfriend Diamond Reynolds were stopped by a Minnesota police officer, questioning Reynolds account of what happened.
Reynolds claimed, in the video she took of Castile as he laid dying, that they were pulled over for a broken tail light. However, the audio recording makes no mention of that.
“I’m going to stop a car,” the officer is heard saying on the recording obtained by KARE. “I’m going to check IDs. I have reason to pull it over.”
The reason, apparently, was the two occupants matched the description of suspects wanted for an armed robbery.
“The two occupants just look like people that were involved in a robbery,” the officer said in the recording.
“The driver looks more like one of our suspects, just ‘cause of the wide set nose,” the officer added.
According to KARE the robbery the officer might have been referencing was one that occurred at a Super USA store in which cash and Newport cigarettes were stolen.

Only 31 convictions. The rest did not result in conviction.
I've read a few articles alleging that Falcon Heights (a very small suburb of St. Paul) is really aggressive about pulling over people for the smallest infraction -- it's a substantial revenue source.
In my state, a small town was doing the same thing. It led to a state law that limited the percentage of total revenue a town could collect from traffic tickets.
