Poll: Is Aspen Ferrari Owner a Victim of Profiling?

“I don’t speed in that car. No way,” Ostrofsky said. “You specifically don’t speed when you have that kind of car. You’re very, very aware of this town and speeding.”

He said he consulted with an attorney ahead of Wednesday’s hearing. The lawyer advised him to get all the other Ferrari owners in Aspen — he estimated there are six or so — to come to court and speak about “how they’re targeted.”

Ostrofsky said that was too tough to arrange, but reiterated that he feels like a “target.”

Online police statistics show that “a red sports car is the No. 1 car that cops go after,” he said. “And so when you drive a red sports car in this town and you live here, you drive very slowly.”
