Cops pull over Warrick Dunn:Characteristics of someone "transporting drugs and guns."

NFL Legend Warrick Dunn -- I'm No Gun Runner!

5/27/2011 11:20 AM PDT by TMZ Staff
Former Atlanta Falcons running back Warrick Dunn says he feels "violated" -- after cops pulled him over outside ATL and told him he had the characteristics of someone "transporting drugs and guns."

36-year-old Dunn says cops told him they pulled him over because his tinted windows were "too dark" ... but Dunn insinuates he was racially profiled.

During the stop, Dunn -- who is black -- says 4 white officers targeted him with "a lot of personal questions" and told him "I had the characteristics of people transporting drugs & guns."

Dunn says the cops searched his car and gave him a warning for the tint.

After the incident, the 3-time Pro Bowler went to his Facebook page and said, "Felt violated and I've had my car since '08, nvr been pulled ovr for tint. Taken back bc I think the reasoning was bad. Ruined my day but not my spirit."

UPDATE: Dunn's rep tells us Warrick was frustrated after the incident -- and after cops explained that he was traveling through a high-crime area ... he understood the officers were just trying to do their job.

Warrick, through his rep, tells TMZ ... "As the son of a hard working police officer, I understand the stress that police officers are under."

Dunn adds, "The real lesson in all this is that Twitter is a powerful tool but what happened to me is the same thing that happens to a lot of people

That's why I don't have anything on my car other than the light factory tint.

Dumb ass. I would not have let them search my car.

Why not, he didn't have anything

That saying you can't search my car is bullshit, because cops can easily get around that, by saying they had probable cause.

Then you have to wait for dogs and all of that shit to come out there.

They can't say they have probable cause unless the really see something. That shit has never happened to me. Also I can wait for the dog I don't give a fuck. Bet you give into all their demands.

Not true, probable cause could be that they thought they saw something, thought they smelled something or you were acting funny. It just depends on how far the cops want to carry it. You saying no, would make them suspicious anyway. Just like dudes who refuse a breathalyzer, you still get charged.

Why waste an hour of your time saying no, when you can get it over with? That doesn't make sense.

I don't see how he's a dumb ass for saying go ahead when he has nothing.

Black people need to remember the sons, daughters, and grandchildren of white racists in the south were brought up with a racist mentality as well. The apple does not fall far from the tree.

That smell shit don't work. They tried that in VA and being that I don't smoke or have any ash trays in my car that shit got shot down. I don't act funny so that got shot down. My car stays clean so they can't think they see shit. Never had my car searched.

You dont give the cops a free pass to search your car just because "you have nothing hide". Doing so opens a window to an endless amount of potential bullshit to follow, including plants, harassment, time consumption, and general violation of constitutional rights. Know your rights, and exercise them. If they are violated then you deal with that at the appropriate time, but never just give a cop the right to search your shit. You should be offended that they even ask.

You two watch too much TV

The cops can do what they want to do, it's just how far they want to carry it out. Some will just test you to see how you act.

There are times when police can justify searching your vehicle without your consent or a warrant. One such circumstance is when the officer can see something illegal in your car that is clearly visible; this is the “plain view” rule. If that is the case, the officer does not need a warrant to search the vehicle.

Another time the police can search your car without permission or a warrant is if they have probable cause. If, for instance, an officer pulled over a car for speeding and smelled marijuana when he approached the vehicle, he would have probable cause to conduct a search. Probable cause doesn’t even have to be obvious. If the officer feels there is something suspicious about your behavior or the vehicle, he can legally search the car.

Look up above, dudes need to talk to lawyers instead of following what they hear or see on TV.

You saying no might make them search your car, and you can't do a damn thing about it.

Cause they heard it on a jay z song. What happens usually is they call another cop to the scene. They antagonize in saying something stupid or make a suspect move. You then get arrested, your car is impounded, and then searched.

I did that early in life, so I really know my rights. Plus I was in a car that supposedly was involved in a robbery.

Got nothing to do with television, it's about knowing your own rights and making the cop go through the effort of violating them instead of rolling over like a whipped dog.

Never happened to me. Because I'm cool and calm and look the crackers in the eyes. Like I said I don't give a fuck. I know I have nothing to worry about but I'm going to make you work for that lame ass search.

And again, it is dependent on how far the cops want to carry it out and what kind of cops you're dealing with.

Fuck around with the wrong cop and you will be sitting on the curb in 100 degree weather for two hours while they sit around talking, trust me on that.

IF YOU ARE STOPPED IN YOUR CAR
Stop the car in a safe place as quickly as possible. Turn off the car, turn on the internal light, open the window part way and place your hands on the wheel.
Upon request, show police your driver's license, registration and proof of insurance.
If an officer or immigration agent asks to look inside your car, you can refuse to consent to the search. But if police believe your car contains evidence of a crime, your car can be searched without your consent.
Both drivers and passengers have the right to remain silent. If you are a passenger, you can ask if you are free to leave. If the officer says yes, sit silently or calmly leave. Even if the officer says no, you have the right to remain silen

They have no effort to go through. They don't have to go see a judge at 2am. They just will call another couple of patrol cars to come to the scene. That's nothing to them. It's your time that's wasted. They're getting paid.

I don't give a fuck. I have done that before and then the decided they were done talking and said I can go. I said cool. Popped the trunk and got a cold bottled water out and killed it in front of them and told them to have a nice day. I'm from VA fam so I have delt with some cracker ass cops.
