For the people that don’t understand or are pretending not to understand, here are some signs of the Privilege:
- you never repeatedly get pulled over for routine traffic stops in your neighborhood
- routine traffic stops never involve more than one police cruiser
- you never match the description
- your automatic response to flashing lights in your rearview mirror is to pull to the curb and make sure your hands are clearly visible
- you have never had utter the following statements:
I am going to reach into my pocket for my wallet
I am reaching into the glove compartment for my insurance/registration - you’ve never thought I should record this just in case something happens
- you’ve never been told you speak really well by a police officer
- you’ve never been asked where you got such a nice car
- you’ve never been told you don’t look like you belong here
The fact that this list exists is truly sad keifel
