Sure I was driving an old station wagon and I looked poor but I was a student and struggling to make ends meet. And I paid my auto insurance & I had a current driver's license and registration. And then he also treated me like I was potentially dangerous even though I had a nice golden retriever in my car wagging her tail.
I really felt like I was discriminated against on this particular day by this particular officer and I made a complaint to the chief -of -police (Randy Adams at the time) which he rubber- stamp - dismissed of course.
And this had to do with making a
u-turn in the street, even though it was a safe u-turn and using a driveway to turn around. Which is a huge fine by the way and also causes your insurance rates to go up. I actually contested the ticket and received a partial reimbursement.
By the way, did you know that white people are the minority in Los Angeles county ?
