It's simply not against the law to be a teenager or to wear black or to have long hair. That is NOT the reason you're being pulled over. If it is, then file a complaint and you'll win. It may be true that some cops will be less likely to ignore a minor offence if you don't "look like you do", but that's not what you said originally.
This is just ignorance. If you think cops arent more likely to pull over a red sportscar with loud exhaust over an suv youve either never driven one or never seen one.:rolleyes: Anything that draws attention is going to draw twice as much negative attention from law enforcement. I get tailgated by cops at least twice a week when im going 5 UNDER the speed limit. I always drive this speed because i KNOW im watched more carefully and you cant know the aggrivation when a cop needlessly gets 3 feet from your bumper to run your plates for warrents even tho your driving slower and more carefully than 90% of drivers on the same road:rolleyes:
Ignorance is lack of knowledge, and I know that cops ARE more likely to pull over a sportier car than a less sporty one, but again, that car has to have done something other than rolling quietly and peacefully down the street. And how are you so sure that cops are running your plates, and even if they are how are you aure they're doing to you more than to the average joe? Isn't that speculation? Or is it paranoia?
Granted and i DO accept it, most people do. When i have a problem with law enforcement is when i get hassled for stereotypes like being a teenager with long hair and driving the car i drive even tho no law has been broken. I have to over exagerate driving slow and carefull because of these stereotypes. And when a cop refuses to help in ANY emergency while at the same time slowing you down from helping someone in need thats just plain wrong! And something tells me if it was your best friend on the side of the road cunvulsing with no chance of getting an ambulance you wouldve done the same thing (i think anyone would, including my law abiding parents who support my actions here), so dont throw down any "holier than thou" morals on me for doing the RIGHT thing in this situation.

I didn't say you were doing the wrong thing by trying to help your friend, so don't get all third grade mad at me until you assure yourself you fully understand what I said.
If you paid attention, you'd have realized I AGREED with your action in that situation; I was speaking the rest in regard to the OTHER times you claimed to be hasasled. That's not "holier then thou" at all. :rolleyes:
