Innocent Dreadie Harassed By The Cops... Excuse my language, please...
Life Issues Facing Dreads
So today, I got pulled over in Fort Myers, Florida, supposedly for expired license plates on my car. The registration sticker clearly said 09/10 and so did the registration papers. The cop who pulled me over asked me to step out of the car and come over and talk to him and then within about a minute and a half, two more cops pulled up, both of which were K-9 units. They asked me what I was doing in Florida and I told them I was here with a friend on vacation for a few weeks, which was the complete truth. He asked me if I had any guns, drugs or large amounts of currency in the car and if I was responsible for everything in the vehicle. I told him there was nothing in the car, which again, was the truth. He proceeded to ask me if they could search the vehicle and I declined, because shit man, I didn't do anything wrong and they had no reason to pull me over. When I said no, they pulled one of the dogs out of the patrol unit and walked it around the car. He walked the dog around the car twice, and the dog didn't do anything that I could tell, but of course, they said it made a hit on something. When I asked why the dog didn't scratch or bark or anything like that, he said it was because they trained the dog to be passive. Hmm... Sounds like a load of passive bullshit (or in this case, dogshit) to me... So, of course because they claimed that the dog made a hit, two of the cops went ahead and started tearing my car apart from top to bottom. Now, mind you, I'm on a three week vacation to Florida and as soon as I'm done here, I'm going on a camping trip in Missouri, so there is a LOT of shit in my car... They took off door panels, tore the dash apart, unzipped the upholstery on the seats, dug under the hood, sifted through each and every piece of paper and trash, every bag and box and every fucking crack and crevice they could get into, took all the shit out of my center console and glove box, went through each and every piece of everything they possibly could, in search of something that just wasn't there... I've got dreadlocks, a bunch of tattoos (one on my wrist, being a GD Stealie) and a lot of stickers on the back glass of my car, and also IL plates. I've never been arrested, never been in trouble, never been harassed by the cops for anything but for some reason, these mother fuckers were determined that they were gonna find something... While those two fuckers were still searching my car, the one cop who wasn't, was telling me that "We're not the misdemeanor police and if it's just a joint, it'll be ok but you need to just tell us what's in the car" and that "we don't mind visitors here in Florida but we do not allow our streets and highways to be used to run drugs and weapons up and down". FUCK YOU, douchebag! So I says, "Ok, so what are you harassing me for? My record is clean, I've never been in trouble and I'd even piss clean if you tested me... Ohhh, wait... I know... It's cause of the dreads and the stickers on my car, isn't it?" Fuckface just kinda smirked and let out a tiny chuckle and said "Oh, come on now..." So after about 45 minutes of them tearing my car apart and talking shit, they decided that they were wasting time and said "We're done here, you're free to go", they all jumped in their cars and took off. No names given, no badge numbers given, no warnings or citations. Nothing at all... So I go back to my car and what do I find? A HUGE fucking mess... Those assholes took everything out of everywhere and left it all laying in the floorboards and/or shoved it all under the seats. My car was clean and organized when I got out of it and when I went to get back in, it looked like a fucking tornado had run through it... Ugh... I always knew I didn't like police, but I never had a real reason why. Like I said, I've never been in trouble for anything and never been fucked with before, but man, now I know why I and so many other people hate fucking pigs. Prejudice bastards who think they know all and are above the law... So yeah... that was my lovely Wednesday afternoon in sunny Florida... FUCK Florida.
