.... One time I was stopped by a Cop for doing 57 mph in a 35 mph zone ..... I was able to unconsciously, honestly, and respectfully put the word "Sir" about five times in a sentence.

He let me go.

Same thing when I had just passed a police car, then realized that I needed to make a turn, and without blinkers, did so, and in fast braking almost had his car ram the back of mine.  It took him awhile to turn around and find me ... and he was mad ... told me " ... I was just about to call in a helicopter to find you, boah !" 

He also let me go.

A sincere respect for the Uniform goes a LOOOOoooong way.

You are probably white right. But there was a case about two years ago where the officer finally admitted to harassing an African-American driver because he thought he saw that the man had made eye contact with him before making a turn, and this made him suspicious. Although the driver was going under the speed limit and used his turn signal well in advance of the turn, the officer claimed that the turn signal was not turned on at least 200 feet before the turn was made. We know a (white) Witness who was former police officer in Los Angeles, under the direction of Police Chief Gates, who claims that Gates' unwritten instructions were to 'harass every black man in your precinct until they were all in the system for something.'
