Legal threats against police are being used to get criminal charges dropped against Muslims. Quote:
An otherwise unremarkable hearing in the Fairfax County, Virginia, general district court last Thursday marked an ominous trend with respect to the cherished American judicial principles of the rule of law and equality before the law. The hearing on four misdemeanor charges against Dr. Mustafa Ahmed Abbasi featured all of the usual players — judge, bailiff, clerks, prosecutors, police officers, criminal attorneys, and defendant — but with one notable addition to the judicial drama, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (****).
****’s intervention in the Abbasi case is a manifestation of a larger campaign against law enforcement to use political alliances and legal threats to intimidate police in cases involving Muslim defendants and to establish separate and preferable treatment for Muslims in the American legal system.
The circumstances concerning the charges against Dr. Abbasi are as unremarkable as last Thursday’s hearing. On February 9, Abassi committed an improper turn which prompted a traffic stop by Fairfax County police. After consent for a search of the vehicle was given, police discovered loose pills, needles, and prescriptions written to other individuals in the trunk of the car, violations of Virginia law. Dr. Abbasi admitted that he treated members of his mosque out of his vehicle, also a violation of Virginia medical rules (it should be noted that he is also a U.S. Customs and Immigration Service-approved immigration doctor). Abbasi received a summons for unlawfully prescribing drugs and three others for possession of controlled substances, and was allowed to leave the scene on his own recognizance.
More than two months later, a letter was sent from **** national legal counsel Nadhira Al-Khalili to Colonel David Rohrer, chief of the Fairfax County Police Department, claiming that the traffic stop was made on the basis of profiling and that Dr. Abassi’s consent to the vehicle search was never given. She also claimed that Abbasi’s arrest was part of a pattern of “religious discrimination” by the department.
The **** letter made a series of demands, including an internal affairs investigation of the incident, a reprimand for the officer who made the stop, a written apology for Dr. Abbasi, a dash-cam video of the traffic stop, audio of the related police radio transmissions, and the institution of ****’s workplace sensitivity and diversity training for the entire Fairfax County Police.

Pajamas Media » Are Muslim Defendants Getting Special Treatment in Court?
HMM looks like this individual broke the Law , as a matter of fact a few laws.
Let's just look past that and give him special treatment and force diversity training on the whole force , oh is that administered By that wonderful organization with their biased guidelines and the money from the tax payers of the county now going to go to that wonderful organization?
No we need "HATE CRIME LAWS" just for things like this where in the course of a regular traffic stop and the Law enforcement officers discover other violations they will have to turn a blind eye. Does that go for drug violations or DUI's , murder suspects.ect.... no just let them go.
It looks as though even though the officers found these other violations they let him go so where is the problem? oh he was was picked out and profiled instead of the true reason he broke a law bad cop bad, bad, bad you should be ashamed you did your job!
