Define “pretending”. Pretext stops have been ruled lawful in case law because they are based on the commission of an offense regardless of whether that offense is related to the eventual arrest.

I could also go on about the dangers created by intervening in a sideshow. People/vehicles fleeing in all directions creating a public safety hazard. Police intervention possibly necessitating the use of force. Google any video of police breaking up a sideshow and it’s obvious.

I don't think the critique of police is correct in this case. Agree w/you on risks of intervention. But also don't think police responding to sideshow complaints is the same as police targeting black and brown people for minor traffic violations to look for drugs and weapons.
