SCPD (Long Island, NY) literally did this to me once. They pulled me over and "interrogated" me for 20-30m on the side of the road. I say "interrogated" because they were putting words in my mouth and making up a narrative, even implying that my sleeping dog was dangerous. Eventually they gave up and let me go without charge.

Another time the fuckers gave me 5 tickets for driving without insurance, while holding my valid insurance in their hand. That was a fun one to fight in court. Spoiler: I won.

I'm a queer Latina

Ok that sounds fucked up. As does the article. But...

How do the cops recognize you as queer? I bet if 100 cars drove by me I couldn't recognize a single one confidently as gay/lesbian/queer/a sexual/whatever label you want.

Hell I drove home today, can't tell you if the car behind me was a male or female, how do cops spot this?

Latina maybe... Purposed eye looking for a face style.... Lesbian... I can't think of a look that says "that female car driver loves eating pussy".

I'm happy to be proven wrong, but I can't think of something you can do and make me think you're a Lesbian vs straight while driving
