[QUOTE]Originally posted by Bigchelis: [QB] This is not aimed at anyone, just small things I learned and change about myself to get ahead. Do police really use profiling? As a young Mexican growing up in East San Jose, when I was 17~20 I got pulled over probably 15 times. I got a ticket 3 of those times. Was it profiling? At the time I certainly would have said yes but, it definitely wasn’t. It was police doing an awesome job. If you fit the profile you will be a suspect. You don’t want to be profiled don’t dress, walk, talk, or drive a car that begs to be pulled over. In CA a gang member is someone who shares a color or a symbol, so if you are wearing clothes that look like something a gang member might wear don’t yell discrimination or it’s because I’m Mexican, black, Asian, ect…. It is likely your hat, belt, bandana, shoes, or one color outfit. You walk with a gangster lean or like you’re the biggest person on earth, you are now a suspect because many peace officers know that’s the gangster walk. You talk to a peace officer like you are speaking to one of your “homies” bro…. You will certainly be profiled. I use slang words too, but there is a time and place for everything and in front of a peace officer, judge, or a job interview are not the right time. You drive a nice 5.0? Well, be aware that tinted windows in the driver/passenger side are an excuse for any officer to pull you over regardless of how virtuous and innocent you are. Driving erratically and using off road x-pipes are going make you subject to being pulled over too. What about broken lights and missing front plates. If you get pulled over it is not racial profiling it’s your car or the way you look. It’s not racial profiling, stop blaming your woes on your race. Embrace your race and stop saying it handicaps you. If you think you are being singled out because of your race you need to re-evaluate or reinvent yourself to appear more fruitful because you live in a democratic society where you will be judged by the way you carry yourself. This includes dress, speak, and behave. This is the advice I would give teenagers on probation when I taught juvenile law for my internship. Out of a class of 15 in the beginning of the semester 6 were left and the majority went back to formal juvenile hall. This is change you can believe in. [b]Comments are welcomed![/b] [/QB][/QUOTE]
