Like the movie Groundhog Day, 28-year old Earl Sampson wakes up and relives the same day over and over except this isn't a film and certainly not funny. Miami Gardens police have stopped Sampson 258 times, search him 100 times and taken him to jail on 56 occasions for trespassing at the Quik Stop store where he works.

They’re always stopping me, going in my pockets, asking me for my ID, running my name,” Sampson told CBS4′s Lauren Pastrana. "The same ones stop me two or three times a day. I feel like I can't even be in my own neighborhood no more. They're supposed to protect and serve, but really it's just harassing."

After all of the arrests Sampson only has one conviction, for weed possession.

In one instance Sampson is seen restocking a cooler inside the store when a police accuses him of trespassing. The store owner claims the officer was told that Sampson works there but didn't care.

Him and his Boss (The owner of the store) are.

His boss, Alex Saleh, has seen enough. He set up 16 surveillance cameras to document the abuse of power by the police.



"They created [Sampson's] record," Saleh, told the New York Daily News. "He's a good guy, a humble guy, a quiet guy. He's not a convicted felon. They ask him, 'What are you doing here? He said, 'I work here.' I said, 'I'm the owner, let him go. I work here.' The officer said, 'Yeah right.' So he has more power than me!

Saleh, Sampson and their attorney Steve Lopez are going to file a federal civil rights lawsuit soon against the police department. They allege that police have been instructed to illegally stop and search citizens through racial profiling.

I've been thinking about this. Is there a certain crime a cop could commit to a person that would make the person a millionaire? I'd have a homie join the police force, do me dirty in some way, sue the entire police academy or whatever, & split the money with him
