This isn't weird, it happens daily. Every municipality abutting I-95 has their own drug interdiction team out on the expressway racially profiling and pulling over black and hispanic males driving north.
A man Martin deputies identified as Tyko Dean is in handcuffs on the ground.

September 2013, a Florida Highway Patrol trooper stops Zimmerman along Interstate 95 and issues a warning because the vehicle's tag cover and windows were too darkly tinted.

Window tinting is the go-to reason for stopping people.
