Not really. When I was younger, I owned a fast car and was pulled over several times in small southern towns as I drove between university and my parents house. Being young black man in dixie country, you would expect that this would lead to lots of tickets and poor relations with the police?
No.
I was polite, respectful, and the such, but when asked if I knew why I was pulled over I would simply shrug.
I got 2 tickets, but many more warnings, and even the tickets had leniency.
In my view, the police are not out to get you. Sure, they want to make ticket quota, but thats just the job... nothing personal.
This is useful anecdotally. I also am polite and cordial with police during traffic stops. Pull over promptly and make sure they have room to safely approach your car. Stay professional. I never know why they pulled me over, even if I was speeding, but that doesn't have to be confrontational. 5/6 the result is a warning. But I figured that was just because I'm white.
