Actually, your story of getting yanked out of the car and handcuffed is not too far off from my experience that evening...yes, it happened, and they were in fear of their lives when they pulled me over...They did not know if I was the robbery suspect or not, if I had a gun or a bomb in my car that evening...Do I condone it, no, do I understand where they were coming from so as to not make a big stink over it, yes, I do.......If your local police would not cut you some slack for forgetting your wallet on a local run to the market, then you bring it up with the police chief or prosecutor and get it taken care of by showing proof of those documents......If your 25/50/100+ miles from home, and you cannot produce identification proving you are who you say you are, then by all means, the police have the right to put you in jail or write you a ticket if need be. Black, White, hell even Green/Orange colored skin does not play a factor in what I see in my travels through Bergen, Morris, Essex, Warren, or Sussex Counties. At least not when I go by a police officer with a stopped vehicle....Same goes for the vehicle itself, everything from the mom and pop grocery getter, to the modern muscle cars, pick up trucks, and everything in between.............


Guess we must be living in two different worlds...............Put yourself in their shoes for a day, think about it from their standpoint....I mean really think about it, and then you'll see why it is the way it is.................
