Most of these stories involve the poster being inconvenienced for a little while then being sent on their way. I am not sure they are getting the point. We all have these types of stories. Only one poster so far has said he was actually arrested and served time for something he didn't do.

Oh and for my screwed over by the cops story I'll go with the time I spent 12 hours in jail for a no registration warrant. The warrant was for a ticket I got 2 weeks after I moved out here (you have 30 days to get your registration switched) but he never actually gave me a ticket, just put a card on my windshield that said "call this number".

Anyway, I find out some months later I have a warrant for not paying this "ticket". It was $100 so I just went in to pay it to get the warrant cleared, they conveniently only took cash and had an ATM stationed right there with a $10 withdrawal fee. Whatever. Pay the ticket, get my receipt.

About a month later I was waiting for my new personal plate to come in and had the temporary registration on the windshield where it's supposed to be. Cop pulls me over he says because I didn't have a plate and when I pointed out I had the temporary registration exactly where it says to put it he just said 'yeah I couldn't see it from behind'. At that point I figured he'd just leave but he still took my license and ran it and said I had a warrant for the registration. I had the receipt in my glove box from paying it and showed it to him. He called his supervisor and was told he still had to bring me to jail.

He said he'd talk to the jailers when we got there and explain the situation and they'd have me out in about an hour. 12 hours later I was a free man.

It's not a crime but it is reasonably suspicious. I would be willing to bet the majority of cars with a group of white kids riding around in a black neighborhood are probably looking for drugs.

Me. Dumbass cop thought I was involved in a fight. Wouldn't listen and gave me a summons because he was showing his authority.

I was helping a kid off the ground that was punched by his roommate. I ended up the only guy in trouble.

Personally I've had some issues but none where that bad.
I've seen a guy choked out until every blood vessel in his eyes popped because a cop thought he swallowed a pill.
I've been kicked out of a saint's game for telling a cop to "lighten up".
Been detained in a car while my car was searched.
Been in a house that was tossed with no warrant.
Been pulled over by seven chips because my black passenger didn't "have his seat belt on"

I've also never been taken to jail for committing a crime though so it's not all that bad.

So you are clearly either a cop or a high ranking bootlicker with this line of thinking.

I'd be willing to bet you're wrong and the majority of cars full of white kids driving through a black neighborhood are not looking for drugs. See how that works? Racial profiling does not constitute reasonable suspicion.

You don't understand why people don't like cops who frequently "inconvenience" them by trolling for charges?

He should just trust that those kind cop fellows had his best interest in mind and were well-justified in their highly justifiable actions.

The problem is most cops will treat you like you just raped a baby when they stop you for an inspection sticker.

ETA: there's plenty of corruption in LP

Negative, just a person who is interested in if there is as much police corruption as people actually claim.

I was a witness to an incident were someone was arrested. Saw the entire event occur. Cop's police report was 10 sentences. 9 of them were outright lies or complete exaggerations to justify the arrest.
