[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 1488334, member: 22662"] No. He stopped by my house at 8:30 pm as I was putting my kids to bed. The "suspicious" incident took place at 2:30 pm. I was looking for a call in pickup. Stopped at a house, no package outside. Knocked on the door and waited. Nothing. Started walking back to van (FedEx's Magnets on side, Fedex uniform, vest Fedex across the back). As I do I'm looking at the pickup information and realize that I'm one road too far west. Door opens. Lady calls out, "Can I help you?" I explain everything as above. Apologize for bothering her and take off thinking nothing more about it until 8:30 pm. The cop was professional enough as he explained what the lady "saw". I stopped him and informed him, "Yeah, I KNOW what she saw. I know EXACTLY what she saw. She SAW nothing suspicious, ignored my explanation, witnessed no crime...and promptly called the police." That's the world we live in. If he's doing his job, why not call Fedex and make sure that vehicle is leased onto the company? What was the "suspicious activity"? Are you telling me that if I'm white it all goes down the same? I think if you're honest, you know it doesn't. The only thing "suspicious" is a black guy driving around the Illinois rural countryside in a white van. That's not suspicious, but it's enough to get an investigation going. That's not the exception, it's the rule: black=suspicion. [/QUOTE]
