I recently had to reiterate to my husband minorities are far more scared of the police than non-minorities, even when we haven’t done anything wrong.
I suspect my mindset stems from being a Chicagoan — our racial tensions are legendary. And Illinois’ law enforcement has a long, documented history of being more likely to pull over and ticket minority drivers than white ones, even though records show the police are more likely to find something illegal, like guns or drugs, in a white person’s car.
