Police harrassing locals


My name is Ian, I am 12 years old an I live in West Deptford, NJ. Why does the West Deptford cops keep arresting my mom when she doesn't do anything wrong? The cops are using my mom to get money. My mom has a brain injury and that's why they keep pulling her over, they are taking advantage of her. I like living here and don't want to move, but the cops are making it so we are going to have to sell our house and move out of here. My great grand pop come to WD in the 1930s, and now since my moms brain injury in 2003, the cops harassing my mom. Now it is also my brother as well and he's gotten 6 tickets in 6 months of having his license. No speeding either! Why? What are they doing to their own residence. I'm afraid to still live here when I'm older.
