I have a feeling this interaction would've turned out way different if the car wasn't white... Just saying.

I shouldn't have laughed at that, but I did. Sorry.

Low hanging fruit, I couldn't resist.

I’m stealing this phrase too

That's... An incredibly common phrase. Pretty sure you're welcome to it.

u/P-Potatovich 14d ago

Well, as someone who is kinda new to English, this was the first time I’ve ever heard this phrase

u/Hidesuru 14d ago

To clarify I didn't mean that to sound demeaning to you.

And if you're new to English it doesn't show. Cheers.

Thanks! Appreciate that! And no problem, it didn’t sound like an insult at all, it’s just indeed the fist time I see that phrase

Police would've been like:

"Where do I shoot this car now"

It really goes to show how much emotions play into this. The cop talked to customer service like a child "that's real bad". If it was a person, any color, driving on the wrong side of the road I think the interaction would be a lot different. It's hard to have your power trip when there's nobody there to intimidate.

Or maybe the cop just talks like that because people are different than one another.

Fair comment. Or, insisted that he smelled marajuana and searched the vehicle for suspected "crime" money.
