?Not only did the police violate my client?s constitutional rights by selling his car before the trial, but the case demonstrates that young black males in this city are blindly targeted by the Baltimore City police,? he said.

Was waiting for the race card to be pulled. :disgust:

Now I'm as against the blatant pulling of the race card as most people, but I also am willing to acknowledge if dropping the race card is valid.

While the only basis of what I'm saying on the article alone, it does seem to indicate that it's reasonable to assume race played a factor considering how different a red coupe and a gray sedan likely would look.

Moral of the story: Get a title for the vehicle, next time.

Well, next time he can by a Lincoln Mark VII or VIII and get a real american luxury sport coupe.

no real moral of the story is READ THE FVCKING ARTICLE.

he had the title.

i don't think they should be fired. retrained in colors maybe. i think my daughters pre-k class is going over it this semester maybe htey can join her.

They're trained officers of the law. They didn't follow procedure, they detained a guy for a crime he didn't commit, and they sold the car before the trial. That's pretty serious...

I think the issue here is that it might be the procedure.

I bet that guy ends up with a new Cadillac paid for by the city of Baltimore before this story is over. And I would say he deserves it for what they put him through.

They sold it before trial? Doesn't it need to be retained as evidence?

how is it procedure to sale a car in a court case that is pending? not to mention a stolen one that should be returned to the owner?

Too bad those pigs didn't get shot or ran over during that traffic stop.

Brown said the case also points out problems with the city?s management of stolen vehicles. ?You have to question why a stolen car would be sold at all,? he said.

You're delusional if you think racial profiling doesn't happen.

Eh, the police were probably just arresting everyone who drove a Cadillac that day just to make sure they got the right one.

It's important to remember that its one bad cop in a dozen or a hundred who give the rest of the cops bad names. That bad name has left people like you and I with a permanent distrust or even outright spite for the average beat cop, even though any particular cop is probably undeserving of it. Be careful with your wording when advocating cop killing. While there are definitley some cops (and some sitting presidents of the united states for that matter) who definitley deserve it, the vast majority (I hope) really have our best interests in mind and deserve some respect for wading around up to their eyeballs in human filth all day...

The real reason cities are so anxious for auctions?

well, i agree with you that it's not right. also, i said might. i guess i don't know how this usually works, and am wondering if this is standard operating procedure.

Yeah, I know what your saying, there are good cops, and then bad cops. I would rather have a bad cop killed in the line of duty than a good one. These cops appear to be bad ones.

 

[Dunbar]

I would guess their policy is to sell all unclaimed impounded cars after a certain period of time (6 months, a year etc.) In other words, they have no way of handling situations like this. Which, quite frankly, is not something a reasonable person could anticipate ever happening. You have to wonder how this could have made it to court given:

1) He had title to the vehicle
2) He never reported it stolen (which I'm assuming is true)
3) The VIN, color and body style didn't match the stolen car

So how on earth did this make it to court?

How about we just stick to wishing they'd get fired?

you would think the prosacuter would notice and drop the case. instead he looked like a fool in court.

though i do have to say i would love have to been there to see it unfold heh.

Seriously, how in the world did this make it to court?!

 

[Scrooge2]

Cause he's black that's why! Im not surprised if the police officer is some scary hick.

 

[2Dead]

Who is the new owner of the car? If the original owner now reports it stolen, can the new owner get arrested?
