It boils my blood to read about such incidences.

US is turning into the India that I came here to avoid. Policemen in India will stop you at their whim and find a reason to fine you (exact a bribe really).

A cop followed my car in Salt lake city for 10 miles before he stopped me for turning on my blinkers for only 2 seconds before changing lanes. Apparently the law in Utah says that it should be 3 seconds. I wish I had recorded that incident, simply because it is so unbelievable.

The incident smelled racist, and made sure I will never live in Utah / Salt Lake City.

Did you have an out of state plate? It frustrates me how often one hears stories about out-of-towners being singled out.
