Ok, I'm ticked, and I need to vent......

So, I'm driving to work, I happen to be behind a state trooper who's observing the speed limit for approx. 4 blocks. He switches to the left lane, and I get on the on-ramp for the highway from the right lane, only to have him pull in behind me, pull me over, and accuse me of speeding for the last four blocks....and he knows this, because he "clocked" me going 45 in a 35 mph zone......even though I was BEHIND him, and he was going 30 mph, tops. After pointing this out to him, he gets pissed at me, and once he realizes that we both know why he pulled me over, and it wasn't that I was "speeding," but that I'm Black, and I happen to drive a relatively nice car, he decides to "give me a break." This is the 4th time this has happened since the acquisition of the bimmer, and yet another episode of DWB. I'm soooooo upset and annoyed that in this day and age this still happens. AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!!
Anyway, thanks in advance for allowing me to vent.

I tried to keep my annoyance level hidden, as these people do carry guns......

I got pulled over by a cop once for "suspicious manuvering in a parking lot". And once for "a random inspection". And twice threatened by cops at a 7-11.

For the parking lot incident I had met a friend to give him directions got back in my car to leave, came to a four way stop and "woop woop" cop pulled me over. Held me there for 20 minutes asking me what I was doing. Keep in mind...I was parked legally in a parking lot when talking to my friend.

At the 7-11 a cop told me, while I'm sitting in my car (which I had been in a total of 5 minutes) that he was coming back in 20 and if I wasn't gone he was citing me.

The 'random inspection' was early one morning. I was the only car coming around a back road doing 25 in the 25. The cop comes out from a side street pulls me over immediately and says 'random inspection' looks through my car and checks all my ID (another 20 minute experience).

I was pulled over in my M3 by a cop in front of me who said my exhaust was too loud, I had an AA exhaust on the M3....he kept me there nearly an hour discussing the exhaust and the car.

Ignorance is timeless, sad to say.

You showed who the better person was by keeping your cool and not taking the bait. Takes guts, but you came up the winner.
