Florida cops struggle to explain to black state attorney why she was pulled over

‘Bodycam footage of two Orlando police officers pulling over Florida’s first and only black state attorney has gone viral. The cops, now accused of racial profiling, claimed her tags didn’t come back as registered and also eyed her legally tinted windows.
On Wednesday, the Orlando Police Department (OPD) released the bodycam footage from an officer who pulled over State Attorney Aramis Ayala on June 19.
When the officer approached her window, she handed him her license. After scanning it, the cop asked her what agency she worked for. Ayala, who serves as state attorney in the 9th Circuit, told him who she was, at which point the officer quickly gave her license back and launched into an explanation of why she was stopped.
“We ran the tag, I’ve never seen it before with a Florida tag, it didn’t come back to anything, so that’s the reason for the stop,” the officer explained.’
