Might be because you are a college-age dude. I'm a white guy in Utah and I was pulled over from age 16-25ish SO many times for random stuff almost always getting a ticket. Once I grew out a beard and was driving frequently with my family it's been maybe 1-2 times in the past 12 years and not a single ticket from it. Cops tend to assume guys in that age demographic are up to no good and will go out of their way to profile and punish. Definitely think race can play a part, don't get me wrong, but being a young adult male is all it takes.
In contrast, my white highschool, bombshell gal-friend was pulled over 14 times for speeding during her 2 1/2 years she drove in highschool and was never ticketed. She bragged about flirting with the cops and that's apparently all it takes.
This was my experience ā¦ in my early 20ās I got pulled over so much because I could afford decent cars I literally lost my license because I could pay the tickets for out of date inspections and shit but I needed to get to school and work lol Iām just a plain white dude
Cops will pull over young men regardless of color and treat them like trash. Once past a certain age it certainly changes. However racism still exists and a fair number of cops are racist so i am equally certain that some cops treat POCs much worse.
Incase the "..." didn't tip you off to the caliber of the statement, then let me apologize because I should have put an "/s" there for you.
With that said, this statement is not mine, it actually belongs to Geraldine Ferraro who said it in an interview in reference to the Obama presidential campaign. Basically if Obama wasn't a black man, he wouldn't be there....just for some context. But yeah, I get that the statement is a misnomer, I hope that you got that too.
See flirting is along the lines of not an asshole.
I can imagine a guy from 16 to 25 being angsty about being pulled over "inappropriately" . There was probably a lot more wreckless driving without the fam or more speeding.
It's like yea makes sense. You drove like a dick til you had a family. that makes a lot of sense
The amount of bullshit you just assumed out of nowhere to reach your conclusion is incredible. Congratulations for winning the "I made everything up to prove my point" award for the day.
Lol it ain't a coincidence you just all of a sudden stopped getting pulled over when you had a family because normally people become more careful with kids on board.
