If he was nice he wouldn't have made you pop your hood!
I've gotten warned for tint like 4 times now, it's always a second thought from the officer, like "BTW, your front tint is illegal".
I've been lucky, Ive been pulled over by some really nice guys, helps to tell them that you're POST certified.

So if he was Asian it would have been different? That's total BS and you know it...
Believe it or not, there are nice cops out there, I know because I've been pulled over by them over the years... As long as you're nice and communicative, keep your hands visible, turn off your car, and just be courteous in general, then you'll usually get a good response in return.
If you're an *** the cop is going to do the same.

im actually taking a class on racial formation right now and i totally agree with iLogin. A lot has been prevented since the civil rights movement but it is still present in our country.

What is the cop was not white? I just did what Danial said, I had my car off, hands on the wheel with my palms up, and I told him everything I was about to do before I did it. He asked for my reg and I told the cop it's in my glove box, man I open it and grab it for you. Respect the cop and talk to him nice and kind and they will do the same back.

I'm white, clean cut, respectful, honest and compliant. My skin color hasn't done me a damn bit of good.

Nope. I 100% disagree. I got ref'd by 2 cops who were whiter than virgin snow. I've never been cut a break, EVER, by any cop regardless if their skin matched mine or not.
