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.
This must be specific to the area you drive in. One person's experience in one area doesn't necessarily make it true everywhere, and many of us have the opposite experience.
