    I live in a rural area, and my various vocations often required me to be out and about in the wee hours.

    Guaranteed that if another vehicle on the road was PoPo, I’m getting pulled over and screened.
    First question, always, “What are you doing out here at this hour?”

    It’s happened at least a dozen times in the past 20 years. The last 4 times I pulled over before they even bothered to light up. Had all the paperwork ready before they even stopped.

      Being that prepared makes you even more suspicious. What are you hiding? Please step out of the vehicle.

      Quit being black please. Also don’t drive a stereotypically black vehicle or a white folk vehicle either. Both are suspicious…

      For anyone getting ideas, don’t ever reach for the glove compartment or under your seat while the cop is walking up to you. They might assume you’re reaching for a gun. Just turn on your dome lights and let them ask your for your paperwork.
