Writer Cynthia Franks did not understand why the cops kept pulling her over. Over and over, until it finally dawned on her.
This is a very revealing, well written and insightful article. I recommend it strongly, even to those who have considered and discussed the issue extensively.
Excerpt/teaser:
The traffic stops were unlike any I had experienced in the past. The first one was in Monroe County [Michigan] on Dixie Highway near Sterling State Park. I was coming home from the park with my dogs. The sun was setting and it was twilight. My Poodle, Merlin, sat in the passenger seat and Indy, a Jack Russel Terrier, was in the back. I was driving down Dixie Highway at 50 mph, which is the speed limit. Flashing lights popped up behind me. My heart raced. What did I do? I pulled over and tried to calm down; I didn’t want to look suspicious.
