Anecdote: we, 3 white guys and a black dude driving upstate New York. Black guy is a geeky nerd and he’s driving. We’re pulled over by cop who wants to know what we’re doing around New Paltz. Cop intimidates/scares us to admit soemthing - he says he’ll bring a DEA team to search the car - when my friend(also white) admits we have a dime bag of weed (worth $20) in the trunk in his socks. The black guy doesnt do drugs nor drinks. We tell the cop its ours and he makes us throw it out and lets us go. Moral of the story: he stopped us because a black man was driving. If he wasn’t with white friends his treatemnt is likely to have been worse. I break the law once in a while in a minor way, few miles over speed limit, maybe more when i feel it’s safe. I never got stopped for it. If i was black forget it, I’d be to scared to do anything questionably illegal. It’s this bad, it’s this sad
