Because not only does racial profiling go on but financial profiling.
One ticket could send a family into a financial spiral.
Let's say for instance it's a father of 2 who's had trouble meeting the bills to begin with...so he doesn't pay his insurance.
Now he's driving down the road in his beater and the cops pull him over...and yes they pull over people in beaters for not doing a damn thing other than being there.
So now because he does not have insurance he gets a ticket.
Here is a guy who can't afford to pay his insurance to begin with and now within a month not only does he have to pay for insurance but pay in some states a huge fine or pay a traffic lawyer to try to get the charge reduced.
What if he can't pay all of this..the guy must still work in order to provide for his family so 3 months down the road he gets pulled over again but now he has a warrant out because of failure to appear on the insurance ticket.
Now he's in jail, overnight...3-4 days whatever.
Shit happens...yeah maybe he shouldn't be driving blah fucking blah...what the fuck ever you god damn bunch of fucking spoiled computer kiddies.
Like I said shit happens..one incident can be the starting domino that completely changes some people's lives.
