So why post this... You were breaking the law...the cop might have been a dumbass that didn't know the law, yes, but you still were disturbing the peace. Wouldn't it be a better argument that it was racial profiling if he wrote you the ticket? What were you looking for, nice conversation? *edit - I've had cops give me all flavors of chit at checkpoints because they didn't like hearing their dispatcher coming through on my radios I hand them my amateur radio license, tell them to go female dog to the FCC in Washington if they have a problem...federal preemption of state statutes, female doges. Maybe I should claim racial profiling...after all, I have an ethnic last name
