First I wanna apologize that this isnt ECCR related, but alot of people visit this forum and may be able to help out. I also put this in the gathering of the minds forum

Well, a friend of mine, along with myself were pulled over last night by LPD and were racially profiled as being gang members because:
1. We are mexican
2. He had on a red belt, while my watch was red.
We were leaving my apartments when a cop pulled up. My friend backed up to let him in(driveway is small) and the cop never made eye contact, so we knew what was going to happen. Any way, we were on our way to a friends house when we werent even 200 yards from my aparments when we get pulled over by the cop we let into the apartments.
He came up to the car and said we were pulled over because my friends Caddy didnt have a license plate on the front of the car. We were then told to get our of the vehicle and had to give them all our info and also had our pictures taken like some fucking models. And now we are both on the LPD gang files.
We are planning on taking these fucking pigs to court, along with the city of Livermore. Before that can happen I am gonna get some legal advice from my Uncle to see what our options are. We also have 3 witnesses who were watching the whole time.
So I was wondering if any of you think we could have a case on our hands. Why or why not? I just wanna know what yall think we can do, before I go to my Uncle for advice.
