During the arrest process, it was also determined that Lewis was categorized as a certain person to not possess weapons and there therefore charged accordingly, authorities said.
Amazing how many dumbass criminals get pulled over for driving like morons. You would think if you have drugs and a loaded gun, you would drive like a saint.
This person was unlawfully pulled over, did not have drugs, or drug paraphernalia in the car and the car was illegally searched by dump ass cops and because of everything that happened illegally by the hands of the Bayonne police the case was dismissed.
An unmarked Bayonne narcotics unit pulled over the victim for speeding, but did not have anything to tell how fast the car was going, they followed the car for 30 blocks (racial profiling) stating the driver was unsafe to motorist on the road, so why follow for 30 blocks and not pull them over immediately? These articles don’t ever state all the facts. The police illegally searched the car, there was no drugs or drug paraphernalia, no probable cause to search the car, no reason to pull over the car. Since the dumbass racist Bayonne police department handled things illegally, the case was dismissed. I hope they get sued because Bayonne police violate rights everyday.
