It gets worse from there.

An Idaho state trooper arrested and fully searched a 70-year-old Washington man’s 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.”
After pulling Roseen over, Klitch reportedly failed to explain why he made the stop, although he later said he made the stop because Roseen failed to use his signal when pulling off on the exit, and because he bumped the curb. Klitch rejected Roseen’s reason for pulling into the rest area, telling him, “You didn’t have to go to the bathroom before you saw me … I’m telling you, you pulled in here to avoid me.”
The complaint states that Klitch asked Roseen why his eyes “appeared glassy,” while failing to ask him for his proof of insurance, registration, or returning to his vehicle to verify Roseen’s license. He then accused Roseen of “having something in his vehicle that he should not have.”
It gets worse from there.

surprised it took this long for cops to do something like this

I was just thinking about cops doing this the other day. They pull people over with Phish/Grateful Dead stickers, so you can't be surprised.

That's hippie profiling

I don't understand this. isn't it legal in Washington state too?
Posted on 3/30/14 at 5:51 pm to Jim Rockford
This happens everywhere. Particularly if you have bumper stickers.

That cop should feel like a failure in life. But he's prob very proud of himself.

He was pulled over in Idaho.

I love all of the comments based solely on a one side of the story. The guy is filing suit, of course his story is going to favor him. The article even says the driver was told he was pulled over because he failed to signal. The driver is pulling the "only pulled me over because my CO plate". I see no reasoning or proof for that claim.
The trooper can follow whoever he wants and can tell the driver whatever he wants in the order he wants. If he thinks the driver pulled off at the rest stop to avoid him he can tell him that. Driver sounds like a drama queen and sissy. But but but.. He was following me.

That cop seems uptight. Dude needs to have a toke and chill for a while, man.

Funny how everyone gets one side of the story and they jump to conclusions.

This involves a cop, an old man, a vehicle search, and this is the OT.
What do you expect to happen?

In this photo taken Wednesday June 20, 2012, David Kosmecki, right, 23, was stopped and charged with possession of marijuana by Idaho State Police trooper Justin Klitch, left, in Fruitland, Idaho after leaving Oregon. As the Evergreen state works out the various complications of its new law, including the fact that marijuana is still illegal under federal law, neighbors of Washington are watching with curiosity, and perhaps some apprehension. Idaho officials already have their hands full with Idahoans obtaining medical marijuana cards out of state. The Gem State borders three medical marijuana states, a reality that has caused medical marijuana arrests to outpace those of traffickers or other users. Although Idaho is a largely conservative state, there are pockets defined by borders and demographics that could create new challenges for law enforcement. (AP Photo/Nigel Duara)

Wtf does age, sex, race, or gender have to do with anything? That's how yall want law enforcement to work right?
Are you dense? The police only need one violation to pull someone over and the turn signal was all that was needed. The statement about the driver pulling into the rest stop wasn't pc for his stop.
