CJ , it doesnt change anything if the detectives were black or white, they were cops and the original post was about NC cops doing things to NJ people(not NC black cops doing things to NJ black people).
the cops were wrong, period and the NC cops are no worse than jersey cops or NYC cops or boston or philly cops who beat people on a regular basis--i live in downtown Philly and it happens all the time here.
Um hello, you were they one who mentioned race, I was responding to that.
You said "NJ cops pull over blacks just for driving is what I heard"
So thats why I said what I said. And I didn't say it was right, I said it was wrong, so what are you talking about?
sorry but I didnt say you said it was right or wrong, i was talking about the cops in NY and NJ doing things to people(mentioned black as a matter of fact) just as the original poster assumed NC cops were profiling only NJ people,
so I dont know what you are talking about the race was only a peripheral issue not the main issue--it was COPS! black was equating to NJ people
I know that the cases mentioned were horrible. You cant blame all cops for what some do, that is not giving the good ones a chance. You will always hear more about bad cops because the public remembers it more. I have only seen cops here follow the laws myself here. My friend is a NY cop and to be a good cop is toucg because they have to watch so many of the bad people they put in get out so fast and easy. But yes the ones that are breaking the laws or doing worse should be punished, not a slap on the wrist.
I dont think that NJ cops pulling over blacks was ever proven, just a rumor that was never dis-proven.
OYE! NC and SC cops pull everybody over! Although I've never seen a Lexus / Benz / Jaguar idling on the side of the road with our HP's finest by the front driver window! Careful coming down Black Mountain - cruiser usually at the bottom, just waiting...... , but I don't think they'd taser anyone....

LOL....See higher end cars pulled over quite often coming in and out of Wake Forest....having an expensive car is no protection from getting pulled over.
I agree with the no problems with being tasered though....
I have been hearing horror stories about NC cops stun gunning people down there. Is what I hear true?
No, but you better be careful if you change lanes suddenly, have a dirty car, and have a messy interior. A few years ago, Iredell County's finest pulled over a car meeting that description, on suspicion of running drugs. Turns out the occupants were, but "...change lanes suddenly, have a dirty car, and have a messy interior." - I don't know about you guys, but that describes me and most of the people I know! My girlfriend and I just howled!!!!
north carolina cops will give New yorkers and people from New jersey hard time
Cops here in New York are a lot better then in NC cant say they are perfect but better then NC. I was threatened from a young NC cop. This cop I thought had a real southern accent he even cocked his gun at me! All because I was pulled over near a shopping center to let my 7year old son out to get an ice cream and waited for him to come out. There was no sign saying no standing..
He would not let me wait for my son, he was going to arrest me if I did not park my car in the parking area. It turns out that he is originally from Boston only moved to Cary NC 3 years ago. The accent was fake fake!
I guess for him to survive down there he had to become southern.
I do not miss north Carolina at all.
Of course they do...doesn't everybody hate NJ people?
I'm not sure how N.C. cops would know a NJ person if they saw one...do y'all wear some kind of uniform color? or a badge? It's doubtful that they can recognize a NJ accent - y'all know everything above D.C. sounds just alike...
