Editing MC Hammer (section)

=== Obstruction charges ===
Hammer was arrested in 2013 in [[Dublin, California]], for allegedly [[Obstruction of justice|obstructing an officer]] in the performance of his duties and resisting an officer (according to [[Stop and identify statutes|"stop and identify" statutes]]). Hammer claims he was a victim of [[racial profiling]] by the police, stating an officer pulled out his gun and randomly asked him: "Are you on parole or probation?" Hammer stated that as he handed over his [[Identity document|ID]], the officer reached inside the car and tried to pull him out. Police in Dublin, east of [[Oakland]], said Hammer was "blasting music" in a vehicle with expired [[Vehicle registration|registration]] and he was not the registered owner. "After asking Hammer who the registered owner was, he became very argumentative and refused to answer the officer's questions," police spokesman Herb Walters typed in an e-mail to [[CNN]]. Hammer was booked and released from [[Santa Rita Jail]] in Dublin. A court date was scheduled; however, all charges were dropped in early March.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://wonderwall.msn.com/music/mc-hammers-obstruction-charges-dropped-1739233.story |title=MC Hammer's obstruction charges dropped {{pipe}} Story {{pipe}} Wonderwall |website=Wonderwall.msn.com |date=March 10, 2013 |access-date=July 29, 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140729044223/http://wonderwall.msn.com/music/mc-hammers-obstruction-charges-dropped-1739233.story |archive-date=July 29, 2014 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/10/mc-hammer-charges-dropped_n_2847783.html |title=MC Hammer Charges Dropped After Arrest Last Month |publisher=Huffington Post |date= March 10, 2013|access-date=July 29, 2014}}</ref> Hammer tweeted that he was not bitter and considered what happened "a teachable moment".<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/23/showbiz/california-mc-hammer-arrest |title=MC Hammer arrested in obstructing officer case |work=CNN |access-date=July 29, 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.tmz.com/2013/02/23/mc-hammer-arrested-obstruction/ |title=MC Hammer – Arrested for Obstruction, But Claims Profiling |work=TMZ |date=February 23, 2013 |access-date=July 29, 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/mc-hammer-arrested-in-california/ |title=MC Hammer arrested in California |work=Fox News |date=February 24, 2013 |access-date=July 29, 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/24/mc-hammer-arrested_n_2754939.html?amp |title=MC Hammer Arrested For Obstructing An Officer, Claims He's A Victim Of Racial Profiling |publisher=Huffington Post |date=February 24, 2013 |access-date=July 29, 2014}}</ref>
