police discrimination?... any help?

Sure... if you look at discrimination as merely a suffix rather than a word that can be used to make distinctions without merit

Can you explain this, please? I'm confused about the point you're trying to make.

I obviousy dont know the law, thats why i came here... but my reasoning is I don't think that discrimination should solely be used in terms like "racial discrimination" "gender discrimination" "age discrimination"... I don't see why it can't be used to simply just make exceptions to the rule for no apparent reason... for instance: if a teacher asked two people "what does 2+2 equal?" The first person says "4" the teacher says "correct" the second person says "4" the teacher say "incorrect" it isn't really fair that the teacher decides when 2+2 equals 4, even though the law says that 2+2 always equals 4, it isn't necessarily unlawful... so my point is that this teachers distinction of the answer to the equation isn't based on race, religion... or anything else... just because
Idk... I hope that explains it

We all discriminate in one way or another. Whether this was UNLAWFUL discrimination would be the question. It does not appear to be.

There could be many practical reasons why you were the only one to get cited ... especially when you consider that it takes an average of about 8 minutes per citation, and when you are alone dealing with a small group of yay-hoos, you quickly grow weary of them and may opt to send them on their way. And, of course, there might have been other calls for service pending, or a host o fother reasons he chose to be done when he had finished with your cite.

Perhaps you can tell your friends how lucky they were and ask if they will help you pay for your citation?

Yes, thanks, now I understand. I think Carl's response, above, explains the most probable scenario.

If we compare your situation to the example you gave, then you're right, it isn't fair. However, the teacher most likely wouldn't be disciplined unless she showed a pattern of discriminating against a particular child or group of children. It's the same with your situation. If you can show a pattern, then you might have something. Otherwise, it may not be fair, but it's not illegal.

Yes... that's true... thank you (and everyone else) for your time and knowledge.
