    If you’re white and driving a decent looking car the cops will just ignore you. At least that’s what I was always told.

      My wife is Arab, wears a headscarf. She stopped at a red light, cop car whips around to the side of her vehicle and told her that driving the vehicle she has will catch attention and get car jacked. They outright told her never to stop at that red light and the following three red lights on that road, day or night.
