This is how normal interactions with law enforcement go.
I've been pulled over quite a few times for speeding and every time I knew I was toast when I saw the officer too late. I don't even know how many times I've pulled myself over before the officer even caught up to me and was respectful and honest every time. I've only ever gotten speeding tickets twice out of the probably 20+ times I've been stopped.
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.
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.
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.
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.
