In reply to the discussion: Tyler Perry Pulled Over, Accuses White Cops of Racial Profiling via Facebook [View all]Fastcars
(204 posts)6. The Illegal Turn Nullifies The Profiling Charge, IMO
I would be more upset if I saw a cop NOT pull someone over for makin a left turn from the far right lane. How can you claim racial profiling, which does occur far too often, but admit you made a very dangerous turn to cause the stop?
Sounds more like a rich person pulling the old "Do you know who I am?" trick. I imagine the cops lectured Mr. Perry, as they tend to do, and he didn't appreicate it.

OP
Was he given a ticket BEFORE the other cop rolled up?! No. Was this a matter of a ticket?

If the turn was illegal he SHOULD have gotten a ticket!!! It wasn't, they let him go

That too...the fact they never gave him a ticket is another. They didn't know what his name was

NOT giving him a ticket IS indication of racial profiling! Along with the treatment after the stop..

What you describe implies that when your friend was driving, he didn't make any stupid traffic moves
