Have you ever been a victim of police misconduct?

[MillennialDem]

33. Not sure if ever to the level of misconduct (crime), but harassed quite a few times

White female:

Called on the phone (must have checked my plates) and asked if I was drunk. Appeared drunk to anonymous citizen in po dunk town.

Stopped in the grocery store of same po dunk town. Asked if I had been drinking. I had a 12 pack of diet Mr. Pibb in my hand. Told cop to his face - I. DO. NOT. DRINK. Could have been a fatal mistake.

Followed once in the same po dunk town to the edge of the city limits. Was "speeding" 56 mph in a 55 mph zone. Once I crossed into the next town the cop made a U turn.

In said po dunk town (I lived in the neighboring town) all 3 incidents were driving my winter beater. While driving my cop magnet maroon sports car with mods was never harassed. Spoke to a cashier and a customer in the grocery store in the same po dunk town and they both said something similar - if driving a crappy car they were also pulled over or followed but when driving a nice car they were not.

In a different state I was living in at the time, a friend and I had just bought a car (for her) and she was driving it home while I was riding shotgun. She noticed her seat belt had come loose / wasn't working so she ended up pulling over, at night, in an elementary school parking lot. Coincidentally it was the elementary school I had attended. Two cops were waiting. Asked what we were doing there. If we were doing / had drugs. Yelled at for the car not being registered - it was just purchased 2 hours ago, with a dated bill of sale, after DMV working hours. WTF, were we supposed to have it towed home or pick it up the next day and drive immediately to the nearest DMV? Also while she was talked to by the cop on the driver's side the cop on the passenger side was talking to me. She told me to open the glove box, in which there was a plastic bag. The cop immediately said "GIVE ME THAT BAG" which the previous owner had left. It was just a bag with a couple of screws in it. Had I known this I would have likely been enough of a smart ass to tell her "what, you just want this BAG OF SCREWS? What is illegal about a BAG OF SCREWS?" I was also accused of being drunk or high because I tend to have bloodshot eyes, but I was neither. In fact, I don't drink or using any drugs (never have, never will).

The lady cop had us sit down on the curb while the guy cop searched the car, even pulling up sections of the carpet. Thankfully the previous owner didn't leave any contraband in the thing, though I think it would been very hard for them to prove in court given the same day bill of sale...
