You're being naive, phoenix. When you or I get pulled over by police, it's for a specific reason. You're going kinda fast, you made an illegal turn, you're tail lights are out.

See? You were cited for something.
When you're pulled over for
DWB, it's simply to be
questioned. "Do you live around here?" means, "Why are you, a black kid, driving around in this rich white neighborhood?" "Is this your car?" means "What's a black kid like you doing driving around in a brand new Jeep Wrangler?"
(The case for one of my students)
The cops look at your ID and registration, look inside the car (particularly if you have gang members... er, friends ...with you, maybe call in the tags to see if there's any priors, maybe have you step out of the car so they can look inside, and then eventually just let you go, without so much as a 'sorry for the inconvenience'.
But hey, maybe I'm wrong... maybe that doesn't happen any more?
