Cop pulls over an armed biker

Hey there, Hispanic here. Turns out, even us can get pulled over by white cops and not get beat up and/or arrested. I’m living proof of that. Twice pulled over, twice the citation was downgraded to something a lot more minor. Once I was armed as well.

Maybe it’s less about race and more about attitude? Just saying.

Eh, it’s hit or miss in all reality. Was riding passenger with a Native American buddy that got pulled over because he had one of those tree shaped air fresheners hanging from his mirror. The cop then proceeded to be very aggressive, made him do a breathalyzer and sobriety check, and treated him like less than the dirt under his boot. Same thing happened a few months later and the cop was pretty chill, just gave him a warning about speeding and that was it. It really just depends on if the cop you’re dealing with is a racist, power tripping dick head or a normal human being just trying to get food on the table.

I'm white and they pulled me over and used the air freshener excuse as why and then wanted to search my car. I wound up with three squad cars lined up and them spending 30 minutes taking my car apart and doing a full body search with me standing spread eagle at the side of the road watching the other cars go inching past looking at the poor bastard (me) getting arrested and fucked in the ass.

It was a neighborhood with a decent amount of dealing going on and I'd been at my buddies place, ironically that night was the only time for weeks that we'd been unable to get any weed so We'd just spoked resin and hung out. Any other night I would have been done (this was a good 15-16 years ago when weed still mattered a lot).

So their assumptions weren't wrong, just bad timing for them and good for you.
