so racial profiling is illegal, but pulling someone over just cause of a big exhaust tip isn't? either way it's discrimination. that cop is basically saying that we pull people over simply cause of how their car looks in an effort to find something they can write them a ticket for and make money for the state...and cops wonder why so many of us dislike them so much. in my experience there always seems to be a cop to nail you for something dumb, while there is never a cop when you need one.
