Re: The obvious: Profiling
When you'dude up' your car, I guess it's because you want a little action. Not,quite,this kind. I can understand your point though. I drive a black,lowered 92 Nissan hard body. It has special stripping, hood scoops and some engine mods. It looks like a low rider. I was coming through this little berg in northern Michigan that uses a lot of summer migrant help. After a music gig at a resort near there. It was around 1 am. Local cop whips around and follows me for a minute and then pulls me over. I'm right at the 25 mph speed limit and nothing is burned out including me. As the cop walks up to the truck, I roll down the window and ask if he's surprised I'm white. Maybe a bad move but I couldn't control myself, I knew why I was being stopped and so did he. Hey! I was sobber( I don't drink) and straight. But I'm also 61 years old. I just don't like driving around in a old mans' vehicle. They ticketed me for to much tint on the side windows. How can you tell that in the dark on the opposite side of the road? Go figure. After all, the entire nation is living in a 'police state'.
