As stated on TMZ this is how the police said the incident unfolded:
Tyler Perry accused two cops of racially profiling him during a “hostile” traffic stop earlier this year — when they pulled Perry over in his $110,000 Porsche for making an illegal left turn.
Perry claimed he was eventually let go without receiving a ticket — because a black officer showed up to the scene and informed the two white officers that Perry was famous.The cops claim they believed Perry was driving a stolen car at the time — because it matched a description of a stolen vehicle — and that’s the primary reason he was pulled over.
According to the report, there was no dashboard camera in either patrol car to back up the cops’ testimony.
Following the investigation, an internal affairs officers stated, “I would submit the evidence shows the actions of both officers with the regard to the traffic stop of Mr. Perry were justified, lawful and proper.”
