Your Car Might Get Racially Profiled by the Cops in Gresham Oregon
It’s sorta like this when the cops see her car…
Our friend Dax, of Gresham Cop Block in Oregon, got this interview with a girl who had just been pulled over for a traffic stop. During that interview, he finds out that this woman, Ashley Marie Zenner, has been profiled for the type of vehicle she drives. The reason given? Her car looks Hispanic with its tinted windows. Wait! What? It looks Hispanic? How does an inanimate object have an ethnic look?
In the video below, she describes the harassment of being pulled over several times by the same officer.
In this video, they tow her “Hispanic looking” truck.
We have seen videos like this from Chris Ponte of Oregon Cop Block many times before. Now since Dax has started Gresham Cop Block in Oregon, he has some support out there filming the cops! To the victims of the ridiculous police actions, do not be afraid to speak out against these people and practices. Without you being able to tell people about what happened to you, no one is going to know.
In Oregon, please continue to show us what’s going on out there!

“How does an inanimate object have an ethnic look?”
Hispanic people acknowledge the stereotypes, they have Spanish versions of all the same words you use, and would consider this line of discussion patronizing.
If you mean to question false authority, to the best of your ability, do so from a position of dignity.
If a car, or fashion, or manner of speaking is going to get you the wrong kind of attention, at least be intellectually-honest. Admit what you are doing, and own up to it.
