You would pull out your camera because it is well documented that people of color are stopped more frequently than whites. My nephew-in-law is black, he is stopped at least once a month for driving while black. As soon as he shows his identification, he is a Federal Magistrate Judge, the officers start to back peddle. What would happen if he didn’t have Federal I.D.? I think the stop would last much longer, the car might be searched, and I don’t like to think that he would be treated more harshly. How many of you have been stopped for driving while white?
