Listening to a radio call in show this morning, a guy [[who sounded white) called in to say he was in the city looking at investment property and stopped by a unmarked car, the bed of his pickup truck searched and his cell phone looked over by the plain clothes officers who had guns drawn on him. Another guy [[who sounded black) called in and said the four man unmarked cars pretty much operate any way they want to, if they stop you and search your vehicle or pockets and find any large sum of money they just take it and tell you to come to the station house with proof of how you received the money to get it back. I've heard stories along these lines before about heavy handed Detroit Police and while this doesn't seem happening to families going to Red Wings or Tiger games it does make you stop and think if you have business in any of Detroit's neighborhoods.
