If I had been a young black man this weekend I am 100% certain I would have been pulled over, searched, and charged. I was going to write a hubski post about it but for various reasons I didn't.

I'd prefer to not go into specific details but let us say I had to, out of circumstance, talk to a police officer who at minimum had reasonable cause to believe I was breaking the law - and who even commented on this - and ultimately, he told me to "be safe" and waved me on.

It is insane.

Edit: before you ask, no, I wasn't driving drunk
