What is the name of your state? Oregon
To anyone out there that can give some advice. I live in a small town where it is mostly whites and my husband(who is black) and I are continously being harrassed by our local sheriffs department and police departmet. In the past 2 months we have been pulled over 3 times for things that our completely crazy and unjustified. Just today the sheriffs department pulled me, my husband, and my two young children over and held us in our car for an hour before they finally decided to tell me that they pulled me over because I had an air freshner hanging from my rear view mirror, yes I said it they pulled me and my family over for an air freshner. Racial profiling and harassement is getting completely out of control. So any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

Tell your husband to take his own car?

What type of advice are you looking for?
 
It is illegal to have anything hanging from your rear view mirror. It is in nys anyways. So, I guess you could look up the laws in your state.
