You have never heard about a roadblock perimeter around a crime scene?
Hell they set up roadblocks to look for drunk drivers. Everyone gets
stopped and interrogated. There is no presumption of innocence there.
They will even stop vehicles towing boats coming up out of the keys
during mini season looking for illegal lobsters.
You give up many rights as soon as you get in your car and the courts
uphold it. I think a lot of it is wrong but I have to live in the
world we have, not the one Jefferson dreamed of.
Difference is in your statement:
"You have never heard about a roadblock perimeter around a crime scene?

"Everyone" isn't a search via racial profiling.
Now you have leapt to the unfounded conclusion that everyone stopped
for a registration or equipment violation is black and that only black
people with warrants get arrested.
Thousands of white people are stopped for that every day and most do
not make it a confrontation so they don't get their ass kicked or get
killed.
Perhaps black people are more likely to be driving old cars with
potential equipment violations but you could more correctly say that
was poor people. Maybe I just lived closer to the dirt than you but
that sort of thing was not uncommon among the people I knew.
If you didn't have warrants and you were polite to the cop, you
usually got away with a "fix it" ticket. I have known people who had
their car towed tho. (too unsafe to drive). That was the day you hope
there wasn't a roach in the seat because the car was going to be
"inventoried" (AKA searched).
I also had an inlaw who liked to fight with the cops and they did some
biblical **** to him. He spent one night cuffed to a bench in the
police locker room and at shift change, a bunch of cops "accidently
bumped into him". Another time he was cuffed to a fence while the cops
maced him and kicked the **** out of him. My sister's FIL (retired
cop) tried to break it up and he was maced. This was a white guy.
He had hurt more than his share of cops tho. He was a nasty SOB.
The common denominator in all of these things is fighting with the
cops.
