It's not funny, I had to drive a lot of miles through throughout Alabama to work. As best as I remember I was pulled over 6 times in two years, searched twice, treated like a scumbag nearly every time and received zero citations. Once they said "there have been a lot burglaries in the area and we need to check your car" as if that justified 45 minutes on the side of road while they went through my car with a fine-toothed comb. All my papers were in order, I committed no moving violation, all my lights were working and still they decided to rake me over the coals, fuck asshole cops like that.Basically anywhere where there are a lot of poor/working-class people. If the police pull you over you are probably not going to get a lot of common courtesy.
Back a few years ago when so many people lost their jobs circumstances demanded that I buy a cheap beater for transportation. I have never been pulled over so much and treated like a scumbag as when I had that ugly but reliable piece of shit.
People who drive a presentable vehicle and obey the traffic laws usually are never hassled for "acting suspicious" so they are usually dubious about tales of cops being intrusive dicks. But if you drive something kind of old and beat up and obey the traffic laws just as studiously I can tell you from experience that you are going to be subject to more stops on suspicion and have to endure a provocative fishing expedition.
Funny that you never state why you were pulled over.
