Recently the Philadelphia City Council passed a law prohibiting officers from the Philadelphia Police Department from pulling over motorists for minor infractions. The city Council wants to prevent motorists being pulled over for “driving while black.” Philadelphia is 43% black while the number of black motorists stopped by Philly Police is 72%.
This is one of the dumbest things I ever heard of. First to stop a motorists, you need probable cause or in laymen’s terms a really good reason to make that car stop. The days of pulling over a motorist just because of skin color or out of town tags are over. This is not Greenbook, Driving Miss Daisy, Porky’s or whatever movie you can think of where a fat, tobacco chewing corrupt Sheriff stops motorists for no reason. There are cameras everywhere. Cops are indoctrinated not to be good ol’ boys!
Second: those people stopped for minor traffic violations may be wanted for violent felonies. Countless people with felony warrants have been stopped and taken off the street because of a car stop. The “Son of Sam” David Berkowitz was caught because of a parking ticket! Drivers who are not wanted can now transport contraband such as guns and drugs with ease, knowing that the cops won’t stop them!
Third: car stops can save people from becoming victims. Jim Lancia used to perform car stops in Bridgeport when he would see a station wagon or mini van full of white kids not from Bridgeport driving in the projects. After the driver said they were “visiting a friend” Jim would tell them to leave as they have no business in that part of town as it is dangerous and they could be robbed, females could be raped and they could all be killed. Think of the scene in Training Day when the white kids in the Volkswagen Beetle get stopped!
Forth: Car stops are a safety issue. People are pulled over because they draw attention to the police. People are driving too fast, too slow, or the car has dead tags, or expired inspection, or no working lights. These can all cause problems for everyone. If you get that summons and get the issue fixed more likely or not the charges will be dropped! But if you drive like an asshole, you should be stopped!
Fifth: Philadelphia is about to lose some easy revenue. Tickets cost money, payable to the government. And the government loves money. They constantly think about ways to generate money, not save money.
Like everything else liberals touch, this too will turn to shit!
