[G-spec]

yea he just came by today told me it seemed like the cop at first seemed like he really believed he gave him the papers back, but once my brother continued insisting that no his papers weren't given back to him, the cop got annoyed and basically told my brother to leave the scene and go about his night. It was just a misunderstanding, but it's not a big deal whatever, cop will just find the papers in his squad car one day toss'em in the garbage and my brother will go to his insurance office get new ones printed out. Bit of a unnecessary hassle but it is what it is.

he comes to me for advice because I have a lot of experience with this... I been gettin profiled and pulled over for no reason for years. Just last year alone I was pulled over like 10 times, and out of those only twice did I get ticketed because I actually did something wrong (expired license, license plate was cut) and the other cases it was your textbook profile pullover "Who are you, where are you coming from, where are you going, what do you do for work, etc.....
And when I was my brothers age I used to get really pissed off and jaw back at the cop when that would happen but now I know it's better to just answer the questions and get the hell outta there, and my brother is learning to do the same thing and listen to the officers instead of talking back. Basically told him even if they're 200% in the wrong you're never gonna win, just shut up let them yap away and you'll get outta there quicker. But it's very very hard to do that when you know you did absolutely nothing wrong yet you're being treated like a guilty party, I lost my temper the other month finally after years of silence and ended up getting my car towed because of it.

He had his car searched few months ago in Surrey when he was livin there, few squad cars came down searched vehicle without any warrant or anything, when he asked why they were doing that, they said he was looking really suspicious like he was under the influence of substances.... what it really was, dude was on his way home from the gym all sweaty and pale from a hard work out, and when he offered to prove exactly where he was and when he was there (with his gym pass and phone # to front desk to confirm) they refused and proceeded with the search anyway


I understand why these profiling stops are a big part of their job, but I'm afraid that fairly often the wrong people get caught up in it. And it just shows how desperate the situation is in this town to decrease gang violence, I mean I can literally walk into a busy downtown restaurant and shoot somebody in front of dozens of witnesses and get away with it, but I can't drive a nice car without getting hassled by the cops all the time.
