re: Have your ever been profiled by the cops?

Yep, in high school we (a few white kids) were at a black friend's house in a part of town where we were the minority. We get said friend’s older brother to ride with us and buy us beer but before we get to the store we get pulled over. “What are you white kids doing in that neighborhood?” “Why are you white kids hanging out with an older black guy?” We knew they had nothing on us and so we answered all of their questions (of course we left out the part about beer). He called for backup, we let them search the car, I bet the cop thought for sure he’d find something, but they found nothing and let us go. I asked why he pulled me over, he said I didn’t use my blinker pulling out of the neighborhood….
