Thought I would share a story with you guys..
While traveling from my home in Columbia, SC to Mississippi to visit my parents, I was pulled over on I-85 South near LaGrange GA (actually it was north or LaGrange..cant remember the exact city. Anyway the trooper was sitting in the grass median of the interstate. The speed limit was 75 and I was doing about 72 or 73. The trooper gets behind me and follows me for about a mile or so. (mind you this is a brand new black 04 AVY with 23" chromies.) He then turns on his lights and I pull over to the right shoulder. He comes up to the passenger side door and asks for my license and insurance. While gathering the information, I asked the tropper his reason for pulling me over and he gets highly upset with my questioning his reason. He then told me to get out of the vehicle. I get out of the truck and he takes my license and runs it. Came back clean of course, but that wasnt good enough for him. He then asks if he could search the vehicle, in which I said sure, go ahead. He pulls out his flashlight, goes into the cab and pops the hood. He searched the entire engine compartment, then went back into the cab, pulled the mats, pulled everything out of the center console and glove compartment, went to the back seats and pulled them up and then went to the bed of the truck, pulled up the rubber mat and searched my duffle bag and all the compartments, then got on the ground and crawled under the truck for an underbody inspection. Found nothing. He then asked if I had any knives or large amounts of money on my person and then pulled up my sweatshirt and patted me down and made me pulled the contents from my pockets. Then he asks where i was coming from, where i was going, who I was going to see, where i worked and how long I worked there. He then asked whose truck I had, in which I replied that it was mine. He didnt believe that, so he made me show the purchase agreement. After 45 minutes of sitting on the side of the road, he finally released me. I was so pissed off I was to the point where I was shaking and had to pull over to calm myself down. After driiving for 20 miles after I was released I decided to turn around and go back to the GA state trooper's post where he worked out of and filed a report. -the end

What you report is unfortunate, and I'll bet that your TRUCK was what was profiled...probably couldn't even see in to ID your race. I can sorta understand pulling you for the tint, but after everything came back clean, he's just being an a-hole for wanting to search your truck. Totally inappropriate IMHO.
