That's what the Sarge says waving traffic past the 7 squad cars from the 4 nearest suburbs who pulled over Will Smith and Carlton Banks in the '09 Escalade on their way home from the country club.

Although I'm not a minority I believe they are pulled over more often. In addition minorities have a heck of a time hailing a cab in New York City. Usually they have to send out a white friend or co-worker to hail a cab for them. Pretty sad state of affairs, in my opinion.

What you say is true, however, the OP is not campaigning for equal rights for minorities. Instead, he is on his usual kick regarding traffic tickets.

If you take a look at the threads that he has created in the past, almost all of them have the same theme, which I can summarize as...all traffic tickets are just a way to generate revenue....local speed limits are set too low...the OP should be allowed to determine what is a safe speed at which to operate his vehicle...cops are picking up on him...

Seriously--click on his name, go to "public profile", then go to "statistics", and then "find all posts/threads" and you can take a look at what he has posted in the past. Then you will see what I am talking about.

This is essentially just the OP's way of trying to gain some sympathy for his feelings regarding traffic tickets. "Soviet" is the classic One Trick Pony, unfortunately.
