'Checked Every Compartment': Ohio Cops Handcuff Black Man for Driving Bentley, Find Nothing, Then Slap Him with Petty Charge Anyway

In another case of racial profiling, a Black man driving a Bentley through Dayton, Ohio, was pulled over, handcuffed, and placed in the back of a patrol car while police searched his car for drugs, guns, or anything they could arrest him on.

I don't want any such thing to happen to me, so I stay away from owning/driving a Bentley. cool

Certainly not a Caribbean country.

Only the UB can drive Bentley (gold plated and all) in that part of the world.

Bear with me while I share this story (for the 2nd time).

I know this guy who drives a Bentley. A former NFL player (Atlanta Falcons) who got injured during his rookie year and had to 'retire prematurely'. Playing only a single season, he couldn't afford a Bently, his dream car, so he had to table the want.

He moved on into the transportation industry where he owned/operated a few tour-busses. It took a while, but he finally got to a point where he could go down to the Bentley dealership to inquire about making his purchase. That's when he was told that he had to order and have it custom trimmed and would take a few months to be delivered.

Finally, the delivery date arrived, and he gleefully went down to pick up his 'prize', but only to be disappointed with the unsophisticated am/fm radio that came with the car as default. Upon complaining (actually having a fit) to the 'salesman' about his disappointment he was told that he had to take up the issue with the manager, which he promptly did. The manager simply told him that he would not argue with him, and he would only continue the discussion with the 'owner' (purchaser).
