Steve, I was driving back from a case we were following at 26th and Cal. As I headed back towards the beautiful Dan Ryan I was pulled over for no apparant reason and then boxed in by a Det car. As I opened the door I was pulled out and put face down in the dirt w/a knee on my back and gun at my head. My infraction? Driving a vehicle w/tinted windows that matched a car used in a drive-by. Many other instances have happened to me while on surveillance and small town/suburb cops have the attitude they own the street and we have no right to be there. I think it's more of a police power trip than racism cause although I tan pretty well I'm still a cracker.
PS a gun definately should not have been pulled.
