Ahh, I think this thread is extremely valid. Not only were you stereotyped for the vehicle you were driving, but like you said, he pushed some limits.

I am 5 feet tall, not even a hundred pounds, yet, I was pulled over one night for, well no real reason at all. He said I had expried tabs, though I was able to prove to him on the spot that they were not expired, and after researching into what I was accused [for lack of a better word] for, I found that in reality, he didn't have to pull me over, because had he gone to the next screen on his computer [and I'm not saying he didn't, I have a feeling he might have, he just failed to mention that, needing a reason to have pulled me over] it would have shown him that my tabs weren't expired, the new tabs just hadn't been entered into the system. But not only did he accuse me for not have legal tabs, he proceeded to check out what was in my back seat and have me open things up as well and show him what was in it. He had no reason to pull me over, considering me and my boyfriend who was in the car with me at the time, had our seat belts on, and he pulled me over after I had just started pulling away from a stop sign, and hadn't even had a chance to make it to the speed limit. Basically, he pulled me over because I drive a red "sports car."

The whole exhaust thing confuses me considering the fact that I have exhaust and for what it is, it's some what loud. Had he really wanted to be a dick, I'm suprised he didn't give me a ticket for that. And I'm suprised he didn't check my tint. I'm not even sure what % my tint is, because I bought it like that. But also, when my boyfriend had his Mustang 5.0, the exhaust he had on it when he bought the car was really loud. A few months after he bought it he took everything off and ran open headers for a bought a month. It was twice as loud [at least] as the exhaust he had before that, and the back fire shot flames and sounded like a gun shot. He got pulled over in Minneapolis and the cop didn't say a word about it.

I don't believe in the games cops play. I think it's bullshit. When I got pulled over the other night, I hadn't done anything wrong at all, and since I am in no way in position to look "dangerous", I know he stereotyped my car.
