My wife, a person who passes for pale white, refused to allow a police officer to investigate her car after a speeding ticket. I wasn't here. Her car apparently "matched a description " but they had nothing. She told me they spend another 15 minutes having her sit on the shoulder, then let her off.
I drove with my family through the south. Had two kids in the car. I'm also brown. No reason to be pulled over, but I did have plates from Ohio since it was a rental. Shitty cop said there's a lot of folks "in his parts" that smuggle drugs using rentals and kods and demanded I open the trunk. I kept saying I'm trying to visit my family, I got kids in the car. 20 minutes with a crying kid, In frustration, I relented, showed him the empty trunk.
