Ohio Police Come Under Fire For Racial Profiling Black Man Driving A Bentley With Drug And Gun Search

In a notable instance of racial profiling, a Black man named Paris Boyd was stopped by police while driving his Bentley in Dayton, Ohio. He was handcuffed and placed in a patrol vehicle as officers conducted a thorough search of his car for illegal substances or weapons. Despite an extensive search, which included a police dog, officers could only issue a citation for illegal window tints. After reviewing the body camera footage from the incident on July 31, Boyd shared it on Facebook, generating significant reactions from viewers. Comments highlighted public outrage over the officers’ illegal search tactics, with one user suggesting a lawsuit was imminent. Dashcam footage captured Boyd's initial encounter with law enforcement, wherein a police officer questioned his driving speed despite it being normal. Ultimately, officers profiled him based solely on his luxury vehicle, revealing a troubling scenario of racial discrimination. Boyd is reportedly preparing to pursue legal action for the violations of his rights. (Photo: Body camera)
