my family's' experience
Followed by the same two police officers at 8 when riding bikes on the sidewalk. They constantly pulled me and my older brother over for irrelevant reasons like "no helmet" "riding on the sidewalk" and "going to fast"
Forced to move out of her home town leaving everything and family behind because the police wouldn't stop hassling my 12 year old brother
my brother was pulled over by a police over when he was 19 years outside of a Tim Hortons drive through. He pulled over in the populated plaza with multiple camera angles to ensure that if he died it would be caught clean. He placed both hands on the steering wheel making sure to make no sudden movements and keep his hands out of his pockets. He used his manners and made sure not to argue under any circumstance as he tried to look unthreatening. The officer told him he could not be seen through his mildly tainted windows and would have to step out of the car to be identified.
