Yesterday I believe I was the victim of racial profiling
Got into my car in a (albeit deserted) car park at about 6.30. Turned my lights and engine on and found myself a podcast to listen to. Suddenly a police van screeches into the car park from nowhere and blocks me in. Five (FIVE!!!) police officers get out, one next to my passenger door, two behind and one at the driver's door.
It's fair to say I very nearly lost my **** right there.
Anyway, turned out there'd been a spate of burglaries in the area and they considered my behaviour suspicious. They blocked me and surrounded me in incase I tried to drive or run away.
I was amazed they would approach me so aggressively for what was effectively a spot-check. Especially as they had clearly run a check on my car already as they knew my name.
Yeah sorry about that. My mate's a copper and I asked him to do me a favour.
One of the best things about not living in london is not having to deal with the met
It's like Rik never went away
Personally I enjoy my police not being corrupt, thieving, money-grabbing bastards
Don't you live in Yorkshire?
Was it the Met? They are complete arseholes.
Absolutely. I don't think I have a black friend that hasn't been stopped for some spurious reason
Yeah, the odd thing is the police are nice. It's weird
still nobody has ever 'confiscated' money or *ahem* anything else from me up here.
would get regularly "taxed" around N4 back in the day
Outrageous. I was dropping my girlfriend off at Heathrow Airport. I only walked up to departures >>>
Then made way to the exit to go home and I got stopped by 5 Caucasian met officers asking me an array of bull**** questions. f**k off with that ****. Like Thierry says the Met are facist c**ts.
How many years ago were you taxed/robbed of cash by police?
And under what guise were these acts carried out?
How far are you from that hothouse of MC'ing, Huddersfield? >>
Is it because you is black?
More than five times, up to my early 20s
"Why do you have this money? Can you prove where you got it from? What's this in your pocket? Would you rather be nicked or....."
Forgive me as I cannot work backwards... Roughly what year would your early 20s had been?
And how much cash were you carrying? And why? Can you prove to me why you had it?
He's outside the DHS/Council Offices
I guess the last time was about 98/99
Clearly somewon reads awimb and your gf's blog
