Professor Accuses UCF Officers Of Racial Profiling
WFTV-TV ^ | 30 August 2010 | Staff

Posted on 09/01/2010 2:05:54 AM PDT by VeniVidiVici

ORANGE CO., Fla. -- Both the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and Orlando police are investigating a traffic stop involving a UCF professor who accused officers of discriminating against her.

The same professor has made public statements in the past about racial profiling.

While there was no comment from the police department itself, the university is calling this an "urgent matter."

Dr. Jennifer Vest is a multi-racial, distinguished philosophy professor at the University Of Central Florida. She writes poetry about discrimination and she's an activist for gay rights.

"Everywhere I go there's somebody who's got a problem with me racially, culturally, you know," Vest said in a past interview.

Vest isn't one to bite her tongue and several videos on the Internet prove it (see YouTube)

UCF "professor" who is "multi-racial", gay (gender atypical?) and probably a dwarf, is whining about getting pulled over for a broken taillight and when she asked the UCF Pigs if they knew who she was, she got pissed-off when they said they didn't care.

Now she's on medical leave saying that the experience aggravated an existing heart problem (she looks to be in her 20s or 30s)

Anyhow, read the whole story. It's a veritable cornucopia of true stereotypes. The whole time I was reading it I kept thinking of how close it matched up to the Crystal Gale/Duke Lacrosse team fiasco.

No chip on her shoulder. No sir, not at all.

It must be a sad life to live where you constantly think that the whole world is out to get you because you're "different".

Wow, big shock that she might actually assume everything is about her race or lesbianism. I bet she sees discrimination when she goes to the store, goes to the park, walks around the block, etc. etc.

Her web page at UCF. There isn’t much there.

Jennifer Vest
* Assistant Professor
http://www.philosophy.ucf.edu/staff.php?id=131

From the web page:

Research Interests

* Gender Studies
* Native American Philosophy
* Interdisciplinary Humanities

People pay money for this. Given her attitude, I would say that anyone with her classes on their transcript would head towards the bottom of the resume stack, if not the roundfile.

You’re right; people pay for this. Before government grew big enough to transfer private wealth to sh!tbags like this, this mutant would have been waiting tables or turning tricks for rent money. Now she passes as a learned member of academia...

More than enough to get her arrested and why are they all ‘distinguished’ when they are arrested. Just sayin’

""Everywhere I go there's somebody who's got a problem with me racially..."

Here we go again... another bull-dyke who won't shave her legs or use deoderant blaming the evil "racists" for asking the Maïtre-de to move them to another table, further away from the roiling waves of gut-clenching stench.

When your culture is "extreme entitlement" then yeah, people are going to have a problem with that.

From the article: “In her letter to colleagues, Dr. Vest said she was pulled over on Alafaya Trail on Monday, August 9, at 9:00pm for a broken taillight, but the UCF police log from that day and time only shows a “drug-related” stop. It could be because Vest said she was questioned about her heart medication and searched.”

Assuming this is accurate (and I admit this is a big assumption), what right do the police have to search her for a simple traffic violation? In order to conduct a search after a routine traffic stop, the police have to have reasonable suspiscion of criminal activity based upon objective observations, such as the smell of alcohol, slurred speech, contraband that is in plain sight or smell, etc. Assuming the prescription medication was in plain sight, the cop had no reason do to anything other than read the prescription on the label and match the name with the people in the car. After that, the cop should have said, “Thank-you, here’s your ticket for the broken tail light, get that taken care of by the court date and I’ll ACD the charges.”

So this hideously ugly excuse for a woman is a professional race bait er?

Crystal Dale is the CW singer. Crystal Mangum is the whore who falsely accused the team.

I’m a male WASP. I got pulled over in TN driving a new Lincoln LS with my son in a child seat. I used all my “Yes Sir” and “No Sir”s as appropriate.

Along the way, the State Policeman said “That child seat doesn’t look like it is as tight as it could be. Do you mind if I look in your car and fix it?”

I said “yes, sure.” He didn’t go to the booster but started looking under the seats and in the console, etc.

I asked what he was doing and he said “You said I could search your car!” - with an attitude.

I ended driving away with three tickets that day. Speeding, TV in view of driver, and improper restraint of my kid because the belt holding the seat was too loose.

The TV was a mini dvd player hooked on the passenger headrest with the seat pulled all the way up and “Winnie the Pooh” playing.

I doubt mine was a racial stop, nor was hers.

Agreed. She wasn’t detainewd and searched because of her race, but because too many cops these days have an attitude.
