PS - I know what it's like to be a minority since I've been one all my life.

I dont like how hes following me obviously because Im driving a nice car, I dont see him following all the other cars around. Theres a difference to me at least between being followed because he just want to make sure im not drunk or doing anything illegal. versus being followed because he wants to pull me over and write me a ticket and hes just waiting for me to do something that gives him a reason to pull me over. Theres a difference in INTENT between the scenarios. Im making my own judgement on his intent based on my observations.
whatever you consider as harrassment is your own business. you feel we have no idea what we're talking about or that he makes unqualified statements. your point? I consider you to be spineless, delusional and out of touch with reality. everyones got their own take and their own oppinions.
I consider what i experienced tonight harrasment and I have my own definetion of whats annoying and irratating.

last time i checked, you werent there. youre just pulling things out of your a$$ assuming a set of circumstances thats different from what actually took place. i actually agree with you to a certain extent on the points you make, too bad your self placed assumptions are not much different from making blanket statements. theres no need for calling out jafari considering your own tendency to make assumptions.

its funny seeing ya'll arguing ... Terry... let it goo.. You didn't get a ticket because you didn't do anything wrong.. and the cop was just there to make sure that you weren't driving drunk or whatever... i think this should be an argument at all...

im not worrying about it, there nothing i can do about it. im definetly ticked about it. i just feel like its not about following me to see if i was drunk, its not like i havnt been pulled over or followed before. it was never for this long, this dude made like 5 turns after me.
keep in mind its not like he was following me for a while, then pulls up and gives me a warning and leaves. I forced him to confront me by stoping in the middle of the road. I wanted to know why he was following me because i was feeling uncomfortable being followed for so long. If i didnt do that, then he would have kept following me.
1. if he wants to use my stereo as an excuse then fine, he should have just pulled up and gave me a warning. if the loud sound is a problem (keep in mind the minute i got on campus, i shut my windows), then why let it continue to be a problem by not telling me to turn it down, but instead he follows me and let the problem continue indefinetly? its a great excuse if he wants to pull me over and give me a warning, but a terrible excuse for following me. ---this suggest to me he wasnt following me due to my stereo.
2. if he was following me to see if i was drunk, thats fine. why didnt he use that as an excuse? it would have been a great excuse for him to follow me.
There are plenty of other legitimage excuses he could have used such as... he was following me to make sure my brake lights are functioning etc etc. In fact hes probably not even obligated to even give me an excuse for following me. but this a$$hole used the 1 excuse that dosnt give him a reason to follow me. --- this suggest to me that since he didnt give me a legitimate excuse for following me, hes real intention was possibly shady in nature.
I feel like he was tailing me hoping that I would eventually break a traffic rule then he would pull me over and write me a ticket. he didnt expect that Id notice him and confront him about it. Even if thats not the case, since he cant even come up with a legitamte reason, then he should have better things to do than following me around campus for 5 turns listening to my obnoxiously loud music through my closed shut windows instead of pulling up to me and give me a warning.

i'm just stating the fact, that by stopping your car in the middle of the road and confronting him about it, you were pretty much setting yourself up for a ticket
