Traffic stops

Did you know that you're more likely to be mistreated by police during a traffic stop if...

You're not white.

Are or appear to be male.

Have a cheaper or older vehicle.

Don't speak English well or at all.

Are driving late at night.

Are younger than 25.

So this isn't about race particularly, this is about interactions with police which usually comes in the form of traffic stops for many people.

Tell us about your very first traffic stop. Why did you get pulled over? What age were you? Did he or she know you? Do you think any of these factors played a roll in the interaction happening? What or whos car were you driving? Did you feel safe or threatened? Did you know you were even in the wrong? Etc.
