Yeah... but let's not pretend that limit isn't flexible based on the colour of your skin.
Police here do a great job I've found, and even when it's somewhat obvious they're pulling you over because you're black - simply driving home from late work at a restaurant, 6 times in 2 months and 3 were the same cop... they're generally so polite in the interaction that it ends up being a stretch to call it harassment. The only problem I have with police here is that they selectively enforce traffic laws based on whatever agenda they've been given, which is obviously unrelated to race or anything.
So to sum up, overall, I have absolutely no problem with the police here and the vast majority of friends I have who are also visible minorities would say the same.
