8:05Now PlayingA police official in Ohio pulled over a man for not signaling 100 feet ahead of a turn. John Felton, a black man, says the officers followed him for a long time before pulling him over. The cop admitted that he followed Felton initially because he had made direct eye contact with the officer. Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian (The Point), Ben Mankiewicz (What The Flick!?), and Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show) hosts of The Young Turks discuss.
What do you think the real reason he was pulled over for? What was the dumbest reason you were pulled over? Let us know in the comments below.

“Former Ohio resident John Felton was pulled over by Dayton police in front of his mom’s house after he allegedly activated his turn signal less than 100 feet before making a right turn. Unable to believe an officer would stop him on such a piddling technicality, Felton asked the officer why he was really followed for several blocks and eventually pulled over.
“Because you made direct eye contact with me and held onto it when I was passing you,” the officer responded.
When Felton attempted to protest, the officer told him to end the discussion or face a citation for the not-quite-missed turn signal.”
