Okay, so I was driving around town with my girlfriend tonight. I dropped her off and then on the way home, I get pulled over. Now, right away, I'm thinking "Wtf?" He comes up to me and asks me for my liscense and stuff, I give it to him. He goes, "Do you know what I pulled you over for?" and I said no. He said someone reported me as running 2 stop signs and a stop light. I asked him if the same person reported all of them. He said yes. Then I said that I didn't run them, because I didn't. Then he kept insisting that I did and asking why I did, so I kept saying I didn't. Then I asked where I ran them and he named places I was at. All of which I stopped for the stop light/signs. Then he goes, "Did you drop your girlfriend off in West Mankato?" and I said yes, but the bullshit alarm went off right there. There was no one around when I dropped her off, which either means someone was driving with their lights off, or someone who has something against me called it in. So then he goes, "What's your major malfunction, man? No, wait, I know what your problem is, you drive an Eagle Talon, your dad should've never even have bought you this car.", he only knows this cause my car is under my dad's name. He gave me a warning and told me I was on his "list". Then he called my dad and said that I was supposed to call him and get right home. So I called my dad and I denied it up and down, because... well... I didn't do it. So we started thinking of things that happened.
#1. The cop was profiling me because of my car and was following me.
#2. Someone I knew and was enemies with called it in.
Either way, it doesn't make sense. Whoever was "following me" didn't have their lights on. The cop obviously had something against my car. He shouldn't be harassing me for something I didn't do and he can't prove. I think the cop was following me, cause he just wanted to scare me. Because, if he saw me run even one stop light/sign, I should've been pulled over, and the person would've called that one in the first time I did it, not follow me to see if I run anymore. It just all doesn't add up.
We're going to call the police tomorrow to talk to the guy and the chief, because this is all bullshit and I'm not going to stand for it.
I'd just like to say that I know there's cops on these boards and I'm not some dumb 16 year old who just thinks all cops are dumb, but cops should be out there arresting people who are driving around drunk and high, not harassing people who haven't done anything wrong.
But what do you think I should do?
