**ARRESTED** need advice.
This same stuff happens to white people, so why is it considered profiling if it happens to a foreigner???
I had a gun put to my head by a sheriff's deputy for absolutely NO reason, I called Al Sharpton but he didn't wanna help me (jk), so i went to Internal Affairs and filed a complaint.
The officer was suspended w/o pay for several days, end of story.
Why can't everyone quit crying about discrimination, profiling, etc... these same "injustices" happen to white people

Everyone is entitled to their own viewpoint and opinion but if it's negative and or racist that should be kept to ones self. Not everybody thinks like that and when one post an ignorant comment like that others who are more shallow thinkers go to the "their all like that" giving us/and others a bad name.
and i still maintain my right to view their opinion of them as such.
still this thread did make be cringe painfully.. and the worse part is, the guy probly doenst even understand WHY.

well, if you read the whole thing, and didnt skim it. you will notice he said he made a motion, which the officer could have taken on so many levels. not that he arrested him for being told NO, he cant search.

"hence" the beginning of the thread...
Nobody has mentioned "Common sense"..?
The whole thing started out, "my dad was arrested for speeding" and refusing search"... Now it's, well, he accidently put his hands on the Police officer..
We all know that there are 3 sides to the story... 1) victims 2) police officers 3)truth...
Hope all goes well with your father...

If the cop trashes your car, take out your camera phone and snap pics of the end result of the damage... and make sure you get the cops car in there somewhere to prove that you didnt go home and trash your own car.

Just to clarify, speeding IS on the list of PC offenses in TX. If George Bush was going 1 mph over the speed limit, any cop could LEGALLY search the car. And before anybody starts rambling on about how they know the law and blah blah bullshit, look it up.

Edit: Forgot to mention, the offense was speeding 10-15 over.
Some of them are asshats. You can't judge the whole for the actions of a few.

I was missing my ASR switch at the time.. he stuck his finger in the hole and managed to disconnect the foglight connection from the switch, GG.
Also forgot to mention, after all that crap (and called 2 more squad cars there), he claims to have found marijuana seeds UNDER my rear seat. Seeing as cigarettes aren't even allowed in my car... I really believe that. Then he flicks the 'seed' into the grass when I ask to look at it.

The search was warranted ONLY in the arms reach of the suspect to exclude the trunk and glove box IF it was locked. So basicly front seat, passanger seat and rear seats are fair game. If it is a hatch back basicly the whole car is game for a search. The only catch to the search is the officer is doing the search for weapons ONLY. If he finds something else like drugs and he was searching WITH-OUT consent then it is inadmisable evidence.
Now he he was to begin his search in the front seat and happen to look not search just look at the back seat and see something that would give him probable cause then your fucked. If the officer is walking up to the vehicle and sees something like a pipe through the window then he needs no consent after that point.
He probably got arrested for resisting search since he did place his hands on the officer in question. It may have been a reaction on your dads part but a stupid one. NEVER place hands on a peace officer EVER! It will only be you fucked in the long run.
The officer had the right then to search the whole vehicle for WHAT ever he might find. That is Search subject to an arrest.
Any more law questions let me know Im half way through my criminal justice classes part of my certifacation to be a Police Officer.
Penal Code 38.03 refers to the Resisting Arrest, Search, and or transportation. It is a class A misdemeanor unless a deadly weapon is used in the resisting of the arrest and or search.

and an update, me and my dad went to the court today and asked the woman cop behind the desk why he was arrested, she looked at it baffled for about 2 minutes and then said in an unsure voice "it was because he had dealer tags on a car."

Then he was resistant to the cops requests, and even phisically tried to stop him from reaching in his car. I don't think his race had anything to do with it, but his actions did. He acted as if he had something to hide, plain and simple. Hell, I would have took him in if he looked like Bill Clinton after that.
the thing is, i still dont dislike cops, alot of my friends are cops, plus when something messes up who are the first people to get called? cops.. and what one cop did in my eyes doesnt ruin it for all of them. i have nothing against the police force they do a do a good job when bad things happen. i just think some exercise their authority way too much

Unfortunately, If you’re a minority in this country you can look forward to an experience like what happened to your dad in your lifetime. And for all you bigots reading this, racial profiling did not start after 9/11. This country has a very long history, some good, and some bad. Yeah there are people out there who cry foul when they are dead wrong in a situation but, we all know (even you waterbug) that there are people out there who get a raw deal when getting pulled over. Me being black and from a not so good part of town, I've always tried show the world that I'm not like the people I grew up with. I spent 6 years in the Marines, I graduated from college, I got married and that still didn't stop some cop from walking up to my car with his gun out. While me, my wife, and my 1-year-old daughter in the backseat wondered what was going on. The cop would later apologize. He said he would normally do that when he was on an open stretch of highway. The point is yes this does happen to everyone (all races) but, for some of us the experience is a little different. My advice to you and your dad would be to get over it. And learn the proper eddicate for being pulled over. Just ask someone from south Dallas.
