Man denounces Montreal police after repeatedly being stopped while driving [Video]

Over the last eight months, Nigel Berkley says he’s been stopped by police at least four times while driving his mother’s Dodge Caravan.

“I was just told the reason for my being stopped, intercepted is because it’s registered to a woman,” he told CTV News.

Now, Berkley says it’s come to the point where he panics behind the wheel, wondering if he’ll be stopped again.

“It’s a very, very uncomfortable feeling,” he says.

“From the time I see the police, even if it’s going the opposite direction, it brings a fear.”

With the help of the Center for Research-Action on Race Relations (CRARR), Berkley plans to file complaints with the police ethics commissioner and the human rights commission.

“We want to say that this is enough,” says CRARR Executive Director Fo Niemi. 

Niemi believes this is another case of racial profiling affecting Black drivers, but he also wants the courts to make police stops based on gender illegal.
