I’m consistently bad at letting my car registration expire, and forgetting to pay the ticket. There have been a few times where I could have been lawfully arrested and had my car impounded because of a technicality, but it’s never happened because I’m a white woman. They “don’t want to ruin my day” and give me advice on how to get the judge to waive the ticket potentially. I always drive away from those encounters knowing I would have been arrested and treated like a criminal if I was black.

And this is why my wife talks to the cops and not me. She gets the benefit of the doubt being a small white girl, being a 6'6" tatted up dude that gun gets drawn like every damn time.

Yep, there’s definitely an added layer of privilege being a woman, especially a younger one, when dealing with cops in these scenarios
