Have you been asked if you're on probation or parole? I've been stopped about a dozen times over the past 30-odd years for various things that I can remember. I don't recall anyone ever asking me that question.

That's funny. Most of my stops were in the valley driving an old beat to shit civic. But that was near the college campus and they targeted the hell out of that. More recently (7-8 years ago) were driving thru the surface street rush hour gauntlet in a Jetta with heavy tint.Totally depends on what car you drive and what you look like. If you drive a 96 Civic, with shi**y window tint past 1900 hours, and are wearing sweatpants, an old Stussy shirt, and a visor hat, you won’t make it a quarter mile without getting stopped and asked 21 questions. Cops profile based on race and/or wealth. In a cop’s mind, if you are economically disadvantaged you are more likely to be on probation/parole, driving suspended, without insurance, or have drugs in the car. They won’t typically ask anyone in a Lexus and a nice suit.
Nope. Nothing like that. No questions really other than if I knew what I was getting pulled over for.
I answer it, but with something different than what I "know" is the truth.Hopefully you never answered that question.
Well that just makes good sense.In a cop’s mind, if you are economically disadvantaged you are more likely to be on probation/parole, driving suspended, without insurance, or have drugs in the car. They won’t typically ask anyone in a Lexus and a nice suit.
Sure, but there are plenty of law abiding poor people, just trying to survive, that don’t appreciate getting pulled over on a pretext stop, and their car searched, 10 times a month. When all they are doing is driving while poor and/or black. There is a reason the public’s relationship with the police is so fractured.Well that just makes good sense.
That's a good question. The mom asked that question too. She never got an answer.No i have never been asked.
OP, why would they have to ask you when they run your license and license plates as soon as they can?
Been years since I've been stopped. Last interaction with police in public, there was a warrant for my arrest in Johnson county for misdemeanor possession they never bothered to tell me about (they had my address as they had raided my apartment to serve a search warrant on my roommate). I was stopped in a small town west of Waterloo because I was riding my bicycle at night and the local cop had received complaints in the weeks previous about some kids vandalizing the local little league diamonds near where I was riding. He asked me name then let me drive off. Put my name in the system and pulled me over again on my bike. Had me in cuffs ready to take me to Butler Co sheriff's office but Johnson Co didn't wa t to send anyone to get me so I went home and got to turn myself in after I talked to a lawyer. Got a year probation from that deal, accidentally violated by missing mail on one of my random UAs and judge gave me a break because all my other UAs were clean (including when I turned myself in on the warrant).
Holy nanny state Batman! So glad the courts and officers are keeping us safe from the likes of you!
Only once, when a state Trooper asked me if I knew there was a warrant out for my arrest in Jefferson County. He let me slide and I'm at large to this day. True story.
Never. And have not had a ticket or even been stopped in 30 years.
You're so full of shit. I don't understand how sometimes you can be right on and sometimes you are totally off base. I have never asked anyone on a normal traffic stop this question.Totally depends on what car you drive and what you look like.
