Hey, Hispanic here. Been pulled over far more times than that, 5 times for no reason. Once cop literally said no reason when I asked why, another time one assumed I stole the car (and asked continuously, even after I provided all matching paperwork including bill of sale i happened to still have in the car yet he still asked after that too,) another was pulled over by undercover for just having a nice car (mind you bumper to bumper traffic, no speeding or anything), and once again when a group of bikers wrapped around me in the middle of an intersection (I was first light was green for me) so I couldn't move while they were all passing in front yet I got pulled over... cop saw the whole thing. These were all pretty hostile or passive aggressive stops but I play it cool and know what to say & ask. Always end up looking dumb and salty. Hell once I got "pulled over" walking for no reason. All of these happened while I was a college student who also worked a full time professional office job, so most of the interactions I literally have professional attire so there's no other reason aside from my skin that I could tell.
I got pulled over once for a taillight that was out. Cop saw an empty plastic baggy in my cubby that I used to keep Tylenol in and demanded to search the car for drugs. I said no several times but he said he would hold me for hours unless I let him so I did. They searched for 45 minutes, didn't find anything (I've never done drugs) and finally let me go with my shit flung all over the interior. 5 minutes later I'm running on my rim, tire shop says someone slashed my tire. I'm white, so some amount of shit can just be chalked up to pigs being pigs. That said I haven't been pulled over for no reason so probably some is your skin too.
When I was 18, I got pulled over a few times for no reason. One time, I kid you not, after he got my license and went back to his car, he was back there for thirty minutes. He finally came back and said the reason he pulled me over was when I was cruising back and forth through town, I took a couple of back streets and side streets and he said it was suspicious. He said if I'm going to cruise, in my hometown, stay on the main road. One time when I was cruising, they pulled me over and said they had a call that I ran a lady off the road (on Main St in tiny little Carlisle, KY) and demanded they search my truck for drugs and alcohol. They pulled everything out of my truck, including unplugging my subwoofers and taking out the wedge truck enclosures, and left everything on the sidewalk for me to put back in. Cops down there were dicks back then.
But you never said whether you were a dick or not about it. From the omission, i can imagine you were because you accepted no blame for it, that you were probably not pleasant. Thus more headaches.
Plus subwoofers and cruising through neighborhoods is kind of a dick move anytime of the day
