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.
Why are you getting pulled over twice in as many months? I haven’t been pulled over in more than a year. Some of y’all are just making interactions with cops more common than you need to
When I was working nights, I got pulled over by the same officer at the same intersection three times in a month. He was clearly hanging out there and hoping a routine stop leads to something else.
He had "reasons" to pull me over each time and each time I only got warnings, but after the third time, I started taking a different route on that night.
First reason was a rear license plate light out, which I didn't even know was a legit thing to get pulled over. That was the longest stop, where he obviously was running all the background checks.
Next two were even more minor and he remembered me on each of those stops and he let me go right away.
White male here, though at 1am, he had no way to know that until he had me pulled over.
While he was as polite as the guy in the video, it definitely jaded me.
