So he was parked near a light that would illuminate the driver and then he decides to follow. Not sure he wants to undergo adversarial questioning on why he even decided to follow. Traveling the speed limit in a nice new car I guess (while black of course).

This profiling shit has got to stop. Make it real painful for the citizens of the town that elects the council that hires the police chief who decides what, who, and how.
