As CNN commentator Keith Boykin tweeted, "Florida's only black state attorney Aramis Ayala pulled over by Orlando police even though she had not violated any traffic laws.".
When they ran her car tag, the computer did not ping back with a record. When Ayala then asks why the officers ran her plate in the first place, the officer explains that it's standard procedure at traffic lights. He is telling the truth.
Ayala, on the other hand, was somewhat petty. Presumably to make them think she intended to register a complaint, Ayala asked for the officers ID numbers. As is their duty, the officers provided their names and ID numbers without complaint.
Across the country, officers run plates in order to see if they match up with the car in question. It's a way to find out whether a car has been stolen, or its plates cloned. The ability of officers on patrol to detect crime rests on such proactive activity.
The police must be accountable, but so must all public servants.
