[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The one time we got pulled over in TX, my dh was asked to get out of the car and was taken to the back of the car and "questioned".   The officer then came around to me and asked the same questions.  It was nighttime and not on a main highway so it was definitely nerve wracking but you better believe [b]we were both polite as hell, even if a bit confused[/b].  The officer ended up being really nice in the end.   We, however, are white so have no understanding how an AA would feel about the same situation.  [/quote]

Being polite and responsive in these situations is always the best course of action.  Running your mouth at the cops never is, as we have seen.

What you are describing is most likely a situation in which a vehicle similar to yours was involved in some sort of incident locally, perhaps even a very serious crime.  In separating and questioning you, the cop was able to conclude quickly that you and DH were not involved in the incident.  I'm sure it was unnerving but it got you on your way with the least possible amount of inconvenience.

There's no way for any of us to know what is going on in an area we may be stopped in, no way to know armed robbers have just fled in a car that looks like ours.  Pick the easy way, behave.

Why blame the victim?  The cop is the one who was on the job.  He failed at his job by over reacting.  [/quote]
