I might think so, if it weren't for the fact that I have two vehicles that I drive pretty much in the same conservative manner.

If I'm driving the old Jeep Cherokee, cops never look twice at me.

If I'm driving the red BRZ, cops make obvious lane changes to get in behind me, turn when I turn to follow me, tailgate me aggressively (in some extreme cases) and hit me significantly more often with speed detection. There is a definite, noticeable difference.

Maybe you don't profile that way. Maybe you don't think you do. But I'm getting a little tired of cops in general immediately turning into assholes when they see my car.
