Wasn't that a trick question?
Wasn't that a trick question?
I cannot imagine being stopped 79 times by the police. Being black sucks.
My parents called me while they were driving from Austin to San Antonio after a family reunion and was pulled over by a young cop. Nothing happened fortunately, but he was definitely nervous and jumpy because he thought they stole the car (it was a rental). Being black does indeed have it's issues.
Seriously WTF.
I have had my fair share of bad experiences and I am white. I am sure if I was black I would be dead by now. I was pulled over three separate occasions by the time I was 18 where the cops called for backup and drew their guns on me and did full field sobriety tests on me only to let me go with a warning each time.
One time actually scared the heck out of me because one cop walked up to my window to talk to me and I could see a second cop creeping along the passenger side of my truck with his gun drawn in the side mirror.
I've been pulled over maybe 8-10 times, never had guns drawn though, shit.
Damn I've never been pulled over in my life, what are ya'll motherfuckers doing.
Speeding, random illegal turns, nothing too exciting. Cost of doing business.
Only been pulled over three times, all for a broken taillight. (and in my defense, the problem was a faulty circuit, so the first two times when i went to go home and check, the damn thing was lit up again. took forever to figure out how to fix it.)

Protest actually blocked off both directions and ended a few hours ago with tear gas and arrests.

And a correction, it was 52 stops with 86 violations which over half were dismissed.
I've been pulled over about 15 times and might be dead or imprisoned if I weren't so lacking in melanin.
I've been pulled over probably 30 times in my life. Only ever had gun drawn on me when I lived in LA and was 2/2 for it. Never in MA or FL.
I've only been pulled over twice.
First time going was going to work I didn't realize it was the first day of the school year and there's a highschool on my street (speed is normally 45 but not during school hours). Was in my uniform so cop just said make up time further down the road not here lol.
Second time was on the way home from work, in uniform, it was 8am on a Sunday after the overnight shift and I was tweeting Matthew Berry for fantasy football lineup advice before I went home and crashed till after the games started. Apparently I was sitting at a light doing it right along a cop lol, so he stopped me and had a laugh about it cause he was looking at me thinking "I can't believe this guy is sitting next to me texting." I'm like Bro I was tweeting for fantasy.
I knew that cop and he just got on as I was getting off plus he knew my dilemma.
Been pulled over five times. Only time I had an issue was when I got pulled over for speeding on the highway. Cop approaches, asks for id, etc. Notices a package of Stacker 2 caffeine pills (this was 2001) in my center console and freaks out. Cuffs myself and friend and fully searches my car. Starts being superdumb saying it's a controlled substance, how many do I have, etc. Asks where I got them from. I replied, "Any gas station in America" and he walked back to his car. Couple minutes later he comes back, takes the cuffs off, and tells me to slow down. Was doing 95 ish in a 70.
Been pulled over 3 or 4 times now on my bike (lol once the guy had me flip my bike and get the identification number just to "make sure it wasn't reported stolen")
When I was 21, I was at a mall in Manhattan Beach CA hanging w/ a friend from XI. I was waiting for my brother to pick me up, so I was sitting on a bench outside and 4 cop cars roll up. They said something about "Security said you needed help w/ something?" Asked for my ID and followed up with HANDS WHERE WE CAN SEE THEM when I went to reach for it. Lol they asked if I had a home. Then they saw my ID and that I was from FL, I told them I was on vacation here and then their attitudes did a 180.
Back in FL, at my old house, there was a sewer hole in the back yard. The back door to the garage didn't close properly so it wouldn't stay closed w/o a door stopper or something like that and my uncle forgot to use it that day when he left so it was open. The city was doing something to the sewers that day and saw the door open/called the police and reported a robbery. Woke up with 4 guns pointed in my face and had to prove I lived there.
Well I'm not surprised they said keep your hands where they could see em, you're gigantic and probably look like the dude they cuck for.
Been pulled over numerous times for being on the street late night in certain type of car. been told several times to put my cell phone down, even though I'm the passwnger.
