Sorry, I don't think the cop letting you go because you're white is necessarily an example of a decent cop.

Ah, my mistake. I've had some similar experiences driving an old car in a poor Latino neighborhood, where the cop seemed almost apologetic and let me go with no warnings or questions. It felt like there was no reason to pull me over at all unless they were hoping I was a different type of person.

Yeup! I used to have an awesome hooptie, and when I was driving around Waltham Mass (huge Latino community) late at night, cops would pull up in the lane beside me, see that I was a white lady and drive on by. Crazy obvious what was going on there.
