Haha Ive never had the pleasure of getting pulled over by this guy even though I've lived in the area that he most commonly patrols for a good 4 years now. Maybe thats cuz Im white though. Haha who knows?

 

Please no references to years graduated...I feel old...



Anyway, I have an idea.

Everyone should print out some of the codes and sections on CHP Laws.

When he pulls you over for something and starts to do something wrong. Just refer to the code.

Example: "Excuse me officer, according to CA CODE Blah Blah Blah."


Here is something else to think about...

What race is the officer?

If he is not asian and if you could show that the majority of drivers that he pulls over are asian and show that the tickets single out very low-end type infractions (ie. noise, tint, etc.) you could bring a class action lawsuit against him, the police force, and state of california.

Just get the docs together and be able to show a lawyer a patern of singling out asians for minor infractions...you got a case....

I am sure that you could find a lawyer to work the case pro-bono just for the visibility.

Just the threat of a class action suite would get the fremont police to drop this guy like a hot potatoe.

 

I just spoke with my friend who is a cop on the Penisula. She made it VERY CLEAR - IT IS ILLEGAL TO PROFILE PEOPLE! She said that the force is so scared of legal back lashing that they repremand cops for profiling. The police can not hande the legal costs, exposure, and bad press in any profiling issues.

She said that they do profile certain vechicles for hazards and emmissions and the sort.

However, she further stated that the police have been warned that they must tread very lightly when profiling cars, because it can be a very fine line between profiling cars and profiling people.

She mentioned that some officers look for an excuse to pull over El Caminos - however, that it is a small line between profiling El Caminos and Hispanics. Officers have been warned.

She said that so far the community has not gotten together to make this connection, but it is only a matter of time.

As I have previously stated - if you could ban together the asian community that have been pulled over for minor car infractions by one non-asian officer and make a class action suite, it would cause a sh*t storm.

I mentioned this to her, and she said if he was at her station and a class action profiling issue came up. The would publicly apology, repremand him, and distantance themselves as far away from him as possible. He would no longer be an officer.

A police force worst nightmare is a racial profiling threat. The only thing worst is getting caught on video beating up a minority person. (i.e. Rodney King)

A very interesting point she made was that the police force relys more and more on the local economy and taxes to sustain it, since the state has been cutting funds to the local police force. There has been lots of presure on the force to make the local populance happy with there ability to do their job. Any public backlashing could mean budget cuts due to the fact they rely on local taxes.

The last thing her station needs is some jerkoff harrassing people for no reason and if he is singling out a race (by profiling cars) it could bring some serious issues to the police force.

I think you guys have more power then you think.

Get together.
Get copies of all the tickets.
Show a pattern.

Have a lawyer submit a letter to the police force, city government, and mayor about this profiling issue before you bring a class action suite or go public.

Your officer problem will be solved very quickly.
