Any of you had any weird run-ins with the police?
Just last night.
Went out with a few friends for my birthday. After dinner we all planned to do some club hopping. I was following some of them in a car head of me. It's a very busy strip so there was a cop direction traffic at the crossway so large groups can walk by.
So my friends pull up and they stop at the crosswalk (two white girls) he looks at them in their car then quickly waves them to go on. He then looks at me in my car (black male w/ white female) then immediately starts jogging toward my vehicle (didn't even wait for me to reach the crosswalk) and orders me to roll my window down.
He starts flashing his light into my car and into our faces then he says he's doing seatbelt spot checks. "oh I see you both don't have your seatbelts on, that's a ticket. I need your license, reg and insurance.".
Which of course I quickly provide as I keep that stuff together since I get pulled over like every few months.
Then he barrages me with the usual questions:
"Whose car is this? "Is this your car?" (every single fucking time)
"Is your license clean?"
"Do you have any warrants?"
"Where are you headed?"
I answer them a calmy as I can. He gives me back my licenses and then says I'm free to go.
I just thought it was hilarious how quickly he waved past my white friends in the car ahead of me without even looking at them.
So is seatbelt check the new "Papers please?"
