Script as Best as I can recall (I was high then and I'm high now):
Cop at car window: License, Registration, Proof of Insurance, Tax Receipt, then I hand him the paperwork...not even 10 seconds later...
Cop: Go ahead and pull aside and step out of the car.
Me: OK....., and I pull over
Cop 2:
What kind of drugs have ya'll been doing today? Just pot? Crack, homeboy? (speaking to Tron, my connect)
Me: Wait....first of all, that's a loaded question. Second, we haven't been doing any drugs today. Third, are you assuming that my friend here is automatically holding crack?
Cop 2: That doesn't matter. Do you have any idea why we asked you to pull aside?
Me: I think I do. If you have a problem with my friend here, then you have a problem with me, and I don't like problems, officer.
Cop 2: What kind of problems are you talking about?
Me: What kind of problems are
you talking about?
Cop 2: Alright, forget about it. Where ya'll coming from tonight?
Me: I'm giving my friend here a ride to the store.
Cop 2: I didn't ask you that. I asked you where you were coming from.
Me: Well, right there in the apartment parking lot...I thought you guys knew that since you have a roadblock right outside it.
Cop 2: Don't get smart with me, son. What's the purpose of your visit?
Me: My friend needed a ride.
Cop 2, to Tron: Boy, you got something you need to tell me?
Me: Wait a minute, I've said everything there is to say. Why are you so interested in my black friend?
Cop 1: (handing us back the paperwork) Frisks us...
Cop 2: We're going to go ahead and search your vehicle.
Me: Don't you need to ask my permission first?
Cop 2: We don't need your permission. We have sufficient reason to believe that you, your associates, and your vehicle are involved in illegal activity.
Me: And that would be?
Cop 1: It's Narcotics, so the quicker we get through this, the quicker you'll be on your way. What's in the car?
Me: First of all, you're giving me loaded questions. There's nothing in my car, no dope, no crack, nothing, no lie. Second, I object to this search.
Cop 2: If you ain't got nothing to hide, then why try and hide it?
Me: Because you guys are sitting outside a housing project trying to bust the poor with petty crap, and the second you see a white guy and a black guy together you automatically think we're criminals or something. You addressed my friend in very disrespectful tone, and honestly, I think you're racist.
Pretty much, after that point, they changed their demeanors and tried to make small talk, then apologized and explained that they are just trying to keep drugs off the streets and that Tron looked suspicious (which he does) and the combination of circumstances looked suspicious.
Finally, sent on our way.....
thankful for two things: I hadn't re-upped yet, and T wasn't holding.
RACE CARD!
