The lesson learned by the cops on this one is that if the color of car doesn’t match registration, then stop him for another reason. That would not be hard. There are a myriad of minor reasons they could use such as failure to use signal when changing lanes, weaving, equipment problem, cracked windshield, and on and on.
All of you are insane if you want leo’s stopping and pulling over any driver for any reason just because they think the guy might have something illegal in his car. Next thing you know, they might be knocking down the door to your home because somebody told them you might have drugs there.........oh wait.
The last time I was pulled, about ten years ago, was on suspicion of DUI. The cop saw me pull out of a bar’s parking lot where I had picked up a friend. The cop had his entire head in my car while sniffing. No alcohol. He seemed pissed that he couldn’t write me up for DUI. He gave me a ticket for expired tags. It was bull but it doesn’t do any good to argue with a cop.
I spent an entire day in court, I was last to be called. I showed the judge my registration and the case was dismissed. Nothing was said to the cop.
Do you really want cops inventing reasons to stop people? By definition, this kind of activity is based on ‘a feeling’. If they had any facts in the first place, they would have their reasonable cause.
This is not legitimate policing.
