I have lived in Bloomington the past 4 years, and have never had a run in with the police. I had been driving a nicer, 2015, Hyundai Sonata. Unfortunately I got in an accident where I have had to use a much older car. Since driving this older car I have been pulled over 3 separate times. One time was for "speeding" where I was going 35 in a 40. When I told the police officer I was going 5 under, due to traffic, he tried to tell me my license and plate were suspended. When I showed him it was not he got very frustrated. The other day I got pulled over for a headlight being out where 4 difference police cars surrounded me. I had a passenger, who was 22, and they asked him if he had been drinking and he said he had two beers and they got mad at him for legal drinking? I am the daughter of an IMPD officer and I think your police officers are extremely biased on the types of cars they pull over. I had messaged about the first offense since he illegally searched my trunk, and have yet to hear back three months later. I know police procedure, however your department does not. This is very concerning because I have been around police my entire life and have studied Criminal Law for the past 3 years. Your police need to understand the correct procedures and stop taking advantage of college kids doing nothing wrong.
