No criminal offenses on my record. How do you think a cop is going to act when he comes up to my vehicle compared to someone with multiple stints in jail, some for violent offenses?
Just the person's past will put the cop on high alert, which could lead to problems.

If police access that data prior to interacting with a suspect I am sure it leads to bias for a person but in this incident Floyd was already in police custody, they had him in handcuffs and he was sitting in a passenger seat of a car. I really don't see how his past justifies what follows.
