Trevor Noah: ‘I Have Been Stopped by Police 8 to 10 Times’ in 6 Years in US (Video)
SF Gate ^ | 06/21/2017 | Carli Velocci

“I’ve only lived in the United States six years on and off. I lived on the West Coast two-and-a-half years, I’ve lived on the East Coast now for two-and-a-half years,” he explained. “In that time, I sh– you not, I have been stopped by police maybe, I would say going on at least eight-to-10 times I’ve been stopped by the police, which always blows peoples’ minds, which I didn’t know was a thing.”

His rant was in response to the death of Philando Castile, who was fatally shot by police officer Jeronimo Yanez in July 2016 at a stop. He was in the car with his girlfriend, who streamed the aftermath of the shooting on Facebook.

To be honest I had a buddy of mine at ODU who was a dark skinned fellow and long story short said the same thing fred said somewhat, and gave a brutal truth, most people leave the hood, cut themselves off from the trash, and never look back plus hoping they can fit in elsewhere.

Like the (then) 78 year old Jane Fonda claiming to have been sexually assaulted by Hollywood executives as an aspiring actress, I'm afraid we'll have to file this under "pathetic hoax attempts to claim victim status."

As the daughter of a tinseltown libtard icon Jane Fonda never came anywhere near a couch test, and this dude has never been pulled over for "driving while black."

Jane was just loose, and this moron is probably just a bad driver.

Thirty years ago, when I had a beard, long hair, and a VW van, I’d get stopped several times a year (though not for speeding, in that thing). Since I didn’t smoke dope, and was always polite to the cops, I seldom got a ticket.

Now all that’s left is the beard, which is gray, and I have only been pulled over once in the last 12 years or more. That time I was definitely speeding, but was just told to slow down.

I've never seen him ( my own personal boycott! ), but when the chatter started about him, I asked family members about him, who had seen him in RSA.

Then, after more articles read, I asked again.

He did NOT "start comedy in RSA" at all; not by a long-shot! And since he was born the year before "Saint Nelson" became the president of RSA, he has never known what that nation was like, personally, prior to his birth. Nor does he actually KNOW anything at all about the "AMERICAN BLACK EXPERIENCE"!

I NEVER liked Letterman; heck, after Johnny Carson left, I stopped watching late night shows like that completely. Heck, I didn't even watch the last few years worth of Carson. ;^)

If I were LEO I’d stop him, break his tail light then beat the sh t out of him. Then he have something to whine about. Otherwise, take a driving class.

The cohort is actually 4.8% (male AA, aged 18-44)

I’m 90% sure that he’s lying.

You got it.

I was stopped once for going 58 mph in a 55 mph zone in 1972. When I pointed out to the officer that the vehicle code didn't even levy any fine or points for fewer than 6 miles over the limit, I got a long lecture as he proceeded to go (illegally) through my car.

Not coming to a complete STOP is a biggie. On Space Shuttle missions, when they return to land in Florida, as the Shuttle rolls to a stop, the Mission Commander onboard says, “Wheels Stop”, into his microphone. THAT is the end of the mission. At a STOP sign, you have not stopped until your wheels STOP.

If cops really enforced that in NJ, we could lower property taxes from all the fines.

At least until people learned this simple rule.

“Ludicrous Mode” all day long...

Car & Driver did a quarter mile run in a Tesla set to Ludicrous Speed mode...once. It was fast, but then the car limped in low speed mode for 15 minutes to cool down the batteries. Do it a few times and you need a recharge.

When I was about 12, my mother got a warning for failing to come to a complete stop. The cop told her that all 4 wheels have to stop rolling, which I thought was extremely funny.

Without knowing why you were stopped we have no idea if that is significant at all. Were you given tickets?

I got stopped 3 times last week for headlight out before I could get it replaced. I drive home after midnight so it wasn’t surprising.

I love how people who have no experience being someone other than themselves can so easily “know” things that they actually can’t possibly know.
