Got pulled over this morning!!

On my way to work this morning at 1:30AM. I saw the red and blue lights flashing in the rear view mirror. I thought it was weird because I was going 50 in a 45 and that is usually the cushion. He came up to my passenger side window and asked me where I was headed. I told him to work. He then asked if I had anything to drink tonight. I responded saying, You mean this morning? No! He then asked if I always go to work this late. I said, You mean this early? Yes! He then asked If had a divers license, registration, and proof of insurance. I said yes and as I reached for it, he said that's OK - have a nice night. I responded with and you have a great day.
As I pulled away I realized he had just been profiled in the 88 Honda Accord for a person with a drinking problem. I guess I could see this but I just choose to not have a nice car and keep money in the bank. Not because I spend my money on booze.

I really wasnt disrciminated against. The car I was driving was profiled. Once the office found he was in the wrong he didn't eithen want my info. I was cool with being pulled over because most people on the road at 1:30am are drunk or officers. He just wasn't lucky this time. I'm ok with him profiling at this time of the day because it will keep me safer on my drive to work. Maybe eithen save my life. It was a 3 min conversation that I found to be worth it.
