Yup, it actually happens. I got pulled over two weeks ago. License plate light was out.

I'm confused, can you even TELL what skin tone a person is if they're driving past you at 40+ mph, in a car with tinted windows?

Because it's just a bunch of liberals trying to gin up controversy. Police officers have (at one point or another) pulled over other high-ranking government officials or even the wife or teenage son of their police chief. I doubt this officer thought or cared much about this woman asking for his card, he was carrying out a legal stop. At least he was doing his job, and not sleeping on duty in his cruiser.

He couldn't care less. You think police officers don't pull over other government officials or the wife of their police chief?

@ryguymdphd Threshi is just some teenage punk living in his mother's basement and pretending to be a cop...get a load of this other guy Mr Rager (scroll up and read what he wrote)

Bonnie & Clyde Ride always have to play the race card, it always has to be about race...doesn't it

@RS-ti7bz when I was pulled over it was a legal stop. When this lady was pulled over it was a legal stop. Yet here is CNN and all their Liberal minions talking about how "terrible" and "unfair" it was for this poor woman to be stopped. Oh but look at how she handled the situation, what a brilliant and empowered woman, she sure showed him, you go girl. I've actually had a friend get pulled over for window tint. And guess what? The cop didn't have a tint measure in that case either. Maybe next time it happens I should call CNN (?)

@RS-ti7bz wow, a license plate light was out. What a terrible, unforgivable crime. I should've demanded the officer's business card and called the CNN studios in Atlanta. I pointed out the fact that this stop was legal and Ayala acknowledges that it was legal, and you glossed it over. So I'll ask you again: why is this whole thing a cause for concern?
1
@RS-ti7bz I watched the video again and her windows do appear to be tinted (when you live in a sunny locale such as Florida or Arizona, it is a temptation to install tinted windows but you have to be aware that you may draw the attention of law enforcement and she should know that) not to mention that it appears to be late evening on an overcast day, thus, it would have been difficult if not impossible for any police officer to peer into a moving car and instantly determine the gender and race of the driver. The idea that she may have been profiled is baloney, though I'm sure CNN would love its viewers to think otherwise. As far as the officer bringing up the issue of the tinted windows, this is another perfectly common thing for law enforcement to do, for example you may be pulled over for a license plate light being out, but the officer can (and almost all of of them do) look for other secondary infractions or illegal activity during the course of the stop, such as: open containers of alcohol, not wearing a seat belt (which is now a requirement in every state except New Hampshire), possession of unlicensed firearms, etc.,. When police approach your car, they will ALWAYS look around inside your car for any visible evidence that can be used against you (this is called the "plain view exception" to the Fourth Amendment).

@RS-ti7bz as polite as you've been you've managed to piss me off with what you just wrote. Vehicle registration DOES NOT contain pictures of the registered owner. I hope you meant that as a joke (if it was then I apologize); but if you meant it then you are an idiot
1
@RS-ti7bz First of all, you should know that the person driving the vehicle is not always the registered owner. In addition to that, a vehicle could also be a rental car, or it could be registered to a business or to the government (duhhh). Since this Ayala woman is a state attorney, it's entirely POSSIBLE that she could've been driving a state-owned vehicle to or from court appointments (CNN does not specify whether this is the case). If so, this would explain why the officer initially had trouble matching the vehicle to its registered owner, and would debunk your entire theory that this was based on racial profiling. Second, you've already more or less admitted that you were wrong when you said that vehicle registrations contain the owner's picture. Now you're doing a 180 and suggesting that cops can instantly recognize the race or ethnicity of a person simply by their last name ? Really? Does that mean ALL people with the surname "Ayala" are African-American? According to Wikipedia the surname is of Basque origin; it is a Hispanic name (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayala_(surname)). And when a car is flying by at 80 mph, do you honestly think a police officer has all that extra time to sit there perusing through computer records while they decide whether to peel out and pull the car over? The car would be LONG GONE by then. Going by your logic, does this also mean that all people named "Murphy" are Irish? (well what about Eddie Murphy then? isn't he African-American?) Are all people with the last name "Malone" Irish? How about Karl Malone? (14-time All-Star and power forward for the Utah Jazz) or even the late Moses Malone, a Hall of Famer and former 76er (both of these men are...wait for it...African-American). Don't rattle off baseless or questionable facts and then finish it off by telling me to go "look it up". Include a verifiable and credible link to support your assertions and then I'll go check it out.

@ryan-yw9dy glad you seem to agree with me. Shame on CNN not only for presenting this story but also HOW they presented it. It isn't even mentioned until the very end of the video that the stop was perfectly legal and that the attorney (Ayala) admitted as such. (EDIT: I disapprove of the Confederate flag in your avatar picture, which I did not notice until just now...how about replacing it with Old Glory?)
1
It was a perfectly legal stop, which even she acknowledged. This is just a bunch of Liberals playing the race card and trying to stir up controversy.
1
@RS-ti7bz actually I think you're the one who will make every excuse for this Ayala woman just because she is African American. And so what? I have African American friends too, and I've dated a woman from West Africa. Bottom line is neither you nor Liberal CNN would've given a rat's if the woman in this video were white. You didn't see me running and whining to CNN after I got pulled over (twice in the same night). Not that they would've cared anyway, because I'm white. No story there, not newsworthy. Just looking at the situation clearly...

@RS-ti7bz oh I think so...I KNOW so

@gameshark528 police scan tags for several reasons such as determining whether the vehicle is properly registered or whether the vehicle might be stolen. These methods can also help locate missing people or abducted children, etc.,. This traffic stop was perfectly legal but Little Miss Puss Face had to go and play the typical Liberal race card and CNN lapped it right up. I've been stopped by police for some pretty ridiculous reasons: twice in the same night I was stopped because my license plate light was out, but I'm white so I guess it's no big deal. I can only imagine if a person of color were stopped simply for not having a license plate light. Everybody from Reverend Al to Old Jesse would be rioting outside City Hall and demanding that the Chief be fired.
1
@miras1258 imagine if this lawyer gal had been pulled over for that. You'd be here screaming about racial profiling and police brutality.
1
I learned this when I was pulled over twice last week for an inoperative license plate light. Only received a written warning, but it made me realize that police do check tags randomly. I'm actually kind of glad they do this as it would make my car easier to find if it were ever stolen; not to mention it helps find fugitives, runaways, etc.,
1
 @kraftp I'm surprised that a state attorney would not know that it's routine for police to do this
1
@kraftp also I think when police officers pull over a vehicle, they know in the back of their minds that the driver could be someone they'd prefer not to deal with in a legal setting, such as: an attorney (like this nice woman), a superior officer, a lawmaker, high-ranking government official or a close relative or friend of one of those categories. But those are the LEAST of a police officer's worries. They are far more concerned about the driver of the car being a violent felon or any person who is armed, and how such a person might react to being stopped by police.
1
@kraftp yeah I saw that too. I mean I got pulled over TWICE last week for that inoperative license plate light and you don't see me whining to the media.
1
@RS-ti7bz I'll bet if the woman in this video's license plate was out and she got pulled over for it, you'd be screaming bloody murder
1
@isaacjavan4024 police officers run plate numbers all the time. I got pulled over twice last week (twice in the same night) because my license plate light was out. I wasn't speeding or doing anything else illegal. Oh and I'm white by the way (...yes, whites get pulled over too, would you believe?)
1
Bonnie & Clyde Ride you mean the truth that you're a race baiter?
1
@jspeedtheman that's how Liberals operate (...I'm a Democrat btw but a conservative one...no love for Republicans here but I hate when Liberals use race-baiting like this).
