MC Hammer Was Arrested - Hardly Anyone Notices

Although MC Hammer was arrested on Thursday, and his arrest was duly noted on TMZ, no one else seems to have cared until today because of more important things happening over the weekend. MC took a backstage to the Oscars and the Daytona 500 and National margarita Weekend. Oh, I didn't tell you? Yeah, I made an official decree that the day should be stretched into an entire weekend. There were just too many tequilas and so little time to try and drink every possible margarita in 24 hours. Plus, who puts a national alcoholic beverage day during the week. This is what weekends are for. Anyway, MC got arrested and he says it was racial profiling. MC says some police officer pulled him over and asked him if he had ever been on probation or arrested or on parole. MC thought it was funny until the guy actually got him out of the car and arrested him and charged him with obstruction of a police officer. I'm guessing the charge will be dismissed.

      CNN reported that he was pulled over for expired tags.

    There's TONS of profiling, to be sure.

    But this reminds me of the last time I was pulled over. It was after 2AM, because I WORKED as a bartender, but the cop probably assumed he'd pick off drunk drivers.
    So when I wasn't drunk, and he had nothing to ticket me for (he said he stopped me because one of my headlights was dimmer than the other--smfh), he ran my name & b-day in the computer. He came back all high & mighty, swearing that somebody had a restraining order against me in NEW JERSEY---I'm from Indiana, know NO ONE in NJ. I denied it was me, he got angrier and angrier. Then he said, 'Well, I can't arrest you for that restraining order, but I can arrest you for lying to me.'

    But thankfully he didn't. Because logic told him it wasn't me. He was FROTHING though. MAD.

    Any other ladies have cops ask you what you're doing out 'by yourself'? Like the Taliban or some shit--no going out alone, no lady drivers.

    libby, reminds me of when I was at IKEA in East Palo Alto, CA. I left at closing and got lost. A cop pulled me over in my mitsubishi mirage and made me wait until he couldn't find ANYTHING on my record. I was waiting like 10 minutes, in the dark, in an apparently "shady" neighborhood and with his lights high-beamed on me.

    He came back looking upset and said that he had to make sure someone like me wasn't up to no good in this type of neighborhood. He told me to follow him to the freeway entrance so that I could go home. It freaked me out. I felt that he implied I was cruising for drugs. I'm so NOT about that life. I have never been back there since.

    Geebz, that's awful! How rude. I would've been too scared to mouth off to him...a police escort out of the neighborhood? WOW.

    libby, it was scary more than anything else. The wait and not knowing what it would lead to was the worse part and I was too stunned to get lippy about the "someone like you" comment. When you mentioned what are you doing out alone thing, it took me back.
    Creepy!

    Actually, this took place in an affluent suburb east of Oakland. I stayed at the hotel within the mall in which he was stopped. I am not surprised it happened in this mall. I hate that area, it's one of those "planned" communities. Yuck.

    He wasn't pulled over. He was parked in the lot waiting for his wife. He was in the city of Dublin which used to be cowtown but is now an overly planned community with Tuscan inspired strip malls.
    The Dublin and surrounding areas police forces are known for racial profiling and attempting to not let anyone from Oakland slip in.
    Fortunately he had a voice and a profile to highlight this abuse.
    The person above who commented about EPA is also correct. Happens all the time.

    @Geebz considering he is the spokesman for Oakland now, it would be shameful if a cop there didn't know who he was! lol. But @katie is right, it was in Dublin which isn't known for their diversity or tolerance.

    I live in the Bay and as soon as I heard it I knew Hammer was probably telling the truth. That cop is an idiot.

    always a problem with a half-ass explanation from police. and some bullshit charge really, this is old.. Reminds me of when Dwight Gooden played for mets. Off season he lived in fla, and was always getting pulled over. I was like, do they have a special cop car just for him?? I mean, he is an addict, but c'mon, all the time??

    i'm not going to bag on this guy...he doesn't appear to fame-whore and actively seek the limelight, i think he's happy in whatever it is he does in the real world. the only time we've seen him re-surface was for an award show or two when producers paired him w/ the gangam (sp?) style dude, and he was perfectly content to let that one-hit-wonder guy have the limelight. he didn't milk those 15 minutes, so i can't see why he'd be upset no one paid attn to this arrest. #toolegit

    He played a few shows in recent years. Dressed nicely. Slacks, button down shirt, etc. He invited people from the audience to come up and dance, which is always awkward for security. He seems a genuinely nice guy.
    I believe his version of this.

    Poor Hammer. And great lines, all of you! Be careful out there driving everyone. Most places have the speed limit so low they can stop everyone at any time. Part of being a police state. I'm sure they can kill us at any time without consequence. Brave new world in the US.

    Hammer gives out nothing but positivity and still does so much for the bay. Meet him once and was more than happy to give an autograph (had his own Sharpie lol).

    Wow, there are a lot of people from the bay area here who read this blog. Inneresting!

    I can totally believe it was racial profiling. Happens everywhere, every day.

    Hammer's no fame whore. The opposite in fact, since if he were, he'd be making a big deal of the arrest, which he isn't, since we're not hearing about it till now.

    Sounds like someone committed the crime of DWB - End of the month, end of the quarter, quotas are coming up and performance reviews are being written.

    Don't know if anyone will see this. My husband & I were driving back to my mother-in-laws after going out with friends (we were staying with her during renos). There had been a break-in near my friends house & this cop pulled us over & must have thought we were the suspect. He was so hyped up on adrenalin that even though we were obviously not the guilty party he went over the car with a fine tooth comb. It was scary. I felt we could be shot at anytime & he was alone, so there wasn't another officer to temper him. I didn't file a complaint, but part of me feels like I should have. We are white. I have no doubt MC Hammer is racial profiling, but I just wanted to write that it can happen to anyone.

    I almost sent this article to you Enty, but I thought you wouldn't care. :-)

    I like MC Hammer and from what I read about the situation the cop was just being a dick amd very disrespectful of a 90's music amd fashion icon.
