A few comments:
1. .....sigh......Oh, bubbachuck. Why, man?
2. But at least he apologized later.
3. It's really a good thing police don't pull people over around here for changing lanes without signalling. I don't think we have enough officers in the entire metropolitan area for that. (More to come on this in the B&G thread).

OK, so Allen didn't handle that situation too well. But, why was his car pulled over in the first place? Sounds like a clear case of "Driving while Black". Or the even more sinister offense, "Driving a super cool, ultra-expensive Italian sports car while Black". Pulled over for changing lanes without signaling? Has anyone on the board ever been pulled over for that? or known anyone who was pulled over for that? Reminds me of our 2007 Eastern Regional when JT3 got an early technical for "Bench decorum". |

My thoughts, exactly. You beat me to it. Changing lanes? An excuse to fu_k with them. I was once pulled over for "excessive" lane changing. I was following traffic. I KNOW that was an excuse to mess with me. I probably would have handled it differently, but, absent additional information, AI gets a pass from me. |

Sometimes I wish that the jerks that cut me off on the freeway without signaling would get pulled over, but nope, never seen it out here.

Do they even make Lamborghinis without tinted windows?
I'm not saying it's not a possibility, but to just assume racist motives from the cops without really anything to back that up, I can't really go there.
Now, do I think police, in general, pay a little extra attention to vehicles that stand out like a Lamborghini would on pretty much any road in America? Almost certainly.

AI clearly could have used a few more years on the Hilltop to learn some manners.
