(AP) FREDERICK, Md. A man reportedly stopped by Frederick County sheriff's deputies for having too many air fresheners on his rearview mirror says he suspects the real reason he is that he is Hispanic.
Mauricio Arellano told The Frederick News-Post that the deputies "found an excuse" to stop him and check his immigration status.
The Anne Arundel county resident, who is visiting the United States on a temporary visa, says he showed his Mexican and international driver's licenses. These are sufficient for legally operating a vehicle in Maryland, but the newspaper reports that Arellano was arrested on charges of lacking proper identification.
Frederick County NAACP President Guy Djoken says groundless traffic stops could increase under Sheriff Charles Jenkins' proposed partnership with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Jenkins said he's confident that illegal ethnic profiling won't occur.

It would seem strange if he had all those fresheners and had all the windows closed and when the window opened it smelled more sweet than a flower shop. If that was the case something is afoot.

Unless the guy had like gigantic zebra striped orange fuzzy dices that begs attention.

Ignorant piece of shit.
People like you should die. A very slow death.
I would personally pick you apart with a nail-clipper.

Well it is technically illegal to have anything hanging from your rearview mirror, but it's like a seatbelt violation (in Virginia at least) you can't be pulled over for it, but if they do pull you over, you get an additional ticket.
Yeah, my dad's a cop so I know a lot of these fun things.

Agreed. Hmm...... oh well. He could have yelled Rasicst cop and then drove off... maybe that would have made him feel better.

Personally, if I were a cop, I'd think he would've been trying to cover up the smell of something. People normally don't use that many air fresheners.
Hell, a cop once thought I had stolen a car when he pulled me over since I was 'behaving suspiciously' when in reality I was just nervous because that was the very first time I got pulled over.

It's prolly an issue of safety because, provided it's as many as I think, it could obscure your rear vision.

It probably looks tacky and dangerous shit anyways. Thats probably why he got pulled over, i've learned that alot of people have some pretty tacky cars with too much stuff in the windows. I find it funny that he's pulling the race card.

usually you can get pulled over and get a ticket if you a cluster of crap on your dashboard
