My car broke down last month [View all]

An officer pulled up behind me as I waited for the tow truck I had called. I got out and approached him as he was putting on his safety vest and he didn't pull out his gun...didn't even give me any orders. I even went back to my vehicle while he was standing right there and got my cell phone from my front seat. Not a peep about keeping my hands in sight.

Anyway, of course I am a white male (so was the cop). Even so, I was driving a car that is in the middle of a restoration and looks like something a crack addict might own (no paint, mismatched wheels, missing trim). One might have even said I might "be on something" driving a car like that...
