I was on my way to my 9 am anthropology class, driving through a white neighborhood in my fathers car, taking a short cut to get to school on time when...
I pumped breaks and slowed down to come around a deep curve curb, and then continued coasting down an incline when...
A police car came creeping up the opposite direction, behind four other vehicles...
I see the burp and cherries so I automatically pull to the side of the road and stop...
THe officer never looks me in the face or points, but just zooms by in a hurry...
(At this time, I am thinking to myslef "Well, he probably is just answering a call..")
So I continue on my jouney down the incline..


All of the sudden, out of nowhere he policeman is behind me riding on my ass with his lights on...

So now I'm thinking "Ok what does this asshole want?"

IT was raining profusely, and the wind was blowing at least 35 mph....

This white, blue eyed devil with a clean shaved head approches the vehicle and proceeds to inform me thta he clocked me doing 54 mph in a 30 mph zone...

Of course I am pissed, I dont argue with him, but instead sk when the last time his radar was checked for accuracy...

"It's accurate, we use these everyday," he says...

So the officer asks me for my liscense and proff of insurance.... I willingly hand him my license and tel lhim that I am driving my father's vehicle becasue my car was in the shop and was unaware of the location of my father's insurance is, but assure him that he has some..

This pekkkaneck ass redwood comes back to my window and passes me a ticket...Since it was raining pretty hard, I took my time inside to review the document...he is standing outside yelling "sign the ticket"...

I'm looking at my name, address, telephone number, social security....All correct...

I look at the bottom of the ticket to check the court date, it just reads4/25/02 at 0:00 and the Am box wsa checked....

I ask what time I had to be in court if I wanted to contest the ticket...

"Just sign the ticket! If you want to know how much the ticket is or when to be to court just cal the number on the back," he says..

So I look over the ticket agian, the officer had been waitng outside the window for awhile now and he is getting drenched...

I glance up to the "race" section of the ticket and see what appears to be a "n" with a small squibbly" /" at the end as if written in haste...

I nut up and tell him that I aint signin shit! He looks at me and says "Well, that is your right .." and graps the ticket pad, writes "refused to sign" and hands me the ticket...

I get to school late, so irate I didnt even go o class! I just sat there and looked at the ticket, and saw that it it actaully read"w" under my race...

........

The court date happens to land on the same day as my final for a class I was taking in East Asian History, so I called and get it rescheduled...
The next day, I get dressed in creaced slacks, put on a starched shirt, a tie and some black Stacy Adams and go to the judges office and ask to speak to him...
When I arrived he was on his lunch break, so I sat there patiently waiting...he comes back and walks to his office and closes his door shut... a secretary gets up, knocks, and informs him that I was there to talk about the ticket... I hear him say "If he wants to talk about the ticket, tell him to come to court, and bring some money.." the secretary comes back and tells me that he isnt willing to discuss the ticket....
Needless to say, I am disappointed to waste my time for such a lame answer...
I go to the Auburn police station (which is in the same building) and ask to speak with the cheif of police... I stand waiting about ten minutes before he shows up...

"What can I do for you today?"

I tell him that I recieved an erroneous ticket for speeding and tried to show it to him, but he quickly dismissed my claim and wouldnt even look at the ticket...

I said, "I got a ticket when I wasnt even speeding! Your officer obviously dont have anything else better to than to harass me becasue he didnt even mark the right race on the ticket! He just gave me a ticket for being black, driving in a white neighborhood! (I told him on the street I was traveling on)

He was taken aback, and his rebuttal was a mere, "Aw, c'mon! It's about evenly mixed over there!"

Which is the biggest fucking lie I have ever heard (next to the one about dubya being a good president!) I have drove through those neighborhoods plenty of times and have never seen a brown face! The only people who live over there are the upper class rich whitefolx, and the rich white college kids whose parents can afford to for them the money to pay rent!

I asked to see the records of the officers radar gun, and he gives me some crap about them being tested every week for accuracy...and I ask to see them, but he isnt complying, so by this time I'm so pissed I walk out becasue I'm trying to control my anger..I cant beleive this shit is actually happening...

I end up going ot summer school, and was unaware that the court date landed on the same day the final was for the first session! I call in and get it resceduled again...

I am dead broke, cant afford any legal representation, and dont even have the money to pay the $125 ticket...I am trying by doing odd jobs like raking leaves, mowing lawns, and painting trying to get the cheese up, but everytime I stack a little, bills come up and I start back at square one, broke as a haint!

By this time I'm like "FUCK ALABAMA & THE WHORE OF TRIXIE" becasue I have experienced firsthand that there is no justice for a blackman with no loot...

I was attending service at the house of worship, and a lady who works in the police office tells me that I need to go to court or pay the ticket off...when she brought up that subject, i was hot enough to curse on a Sunday on curch grounds! Basically, I told her where the apd could go with that ticket...

My grandmother overheard this, and said "Dont talk like that!" That Monday she told me that she would pay the ticket so I could keep my license (they were already suspended at the time, but she didnt know) and gave me the money to get a money order to pay the ticket....so I did that lil bit, and went to the police telling them about themselves and how there is no justice in America, and how it is a shame that blatant racism can stand in a time like today...

*Reality check, I am in Alabama for crying out loud*

Only the laws on paper have changed, not the attitides of the people...And I am not saying that "all" of such and such of ethnicty is racist, but a large majority of people who do have the mentality from the Old South still have to die before a real change can occur here....
