Good advice no matter what your race.
Think about it: even good cops on a good day have likely been dealing with a parade of unhappy people. On a bad day nothing but a string of ***holes. They do not want to deal with your crap.
Being polite has never got me out of anything, but at least I’ve never been one of the ***holes.
I have gotten out of nearly every possible ticket in my lifetime, by doing the following.
WORRY about the safety of the police officer. I pull WAAAAY far off to the side so they don’t have to risk their life standing in the road to talk to me through the window.
I have get my drivers license and insurance out BEFORE they get to the window and I have the window rolled down and my hands clearly visible.
Then I sincerely admit to anything I was doing that prompted them to pull me over in the first place, and apologize.
Because to be 100% I FEEL BAD for cops! they have a crappy job that doesn’t pay very much and now because I was an idiot they had to pull me over and risk their life to give me a ticket or whatever, and I just let those real feelings show .. and PRESTO!! they nearly always let me go with a warning.
Growing up where I did I must admit the vast majority of cops were white and so was I. But even before I got to drive the word on the street was if you decide to run from the cops, you better have one kick a** car and you know they can’t catch you. Because if they do, they’re going to kick your a** but good.
