Puh-leeze, don't drive off in a huffmobile...

" It is not alright for a LEO to act on opinion."

LEO's are going to be influenced by appearance/tough guy manner. It's human nature, not profiling per se.

If one is poorly groomed, has crude tattoos, especially on the side of the neck, or a teardrop from the eye, baggy pants that are dropping off the buttocks, diddy bop walk, sneering manner, profane/ugly language use as opposed to a friendly, clean cut, well groomed, straight forward manner in walking and being well spoken - who do you think would immediately be considered suspicious by LE? Or, your every day law abiding citizen for that matter?

And, of course, we could argue the clean cut guy could be a bank robber and the stereotypical bad boy in appearance could be a choir boy, but what are the odds that's the case...?

People who like to appear dangerous are typically dangerous. Of course, not always, but usually.

Stereotypes exist for a reason...

Without regard to the constitution and any other excuse, your mother was right.

"You are known by the company you keep."

VOR,

Is that the sum of it?

He IS an outlaw bike gang member and essentially has been framed?

No, I don't think it right to arrest anyone for no turn signal, search their bike, take their legal firearm, refuse to return it and have their CHL revoked.

I do it find rather odd such an individual (if in fact he is an MC outlaw and I don't think that's been admitted to) would come onto a forum such as this one (comprised of a very law abiding bunch of bourgeois burghers) and complain about LE mistreatment.

It doesn't add up...

Stew,

If you want to be believed and accepted here, you'll have to work a bit harder at convincing the members you're being mistreated by LE by being more forthcoming.

If not interested in being accepted here, O.K., but the perception at this point is you are quite possibly a member of an outlaw biker gang and as such few here will provide you much sympathy or support.

If you're not part of an outlaw MC, why not provide enough information to exonerate yourself in the eyes of the members here?
