Yeah, no question they profile heavily in Texas. I’ve been pulled over for the same, but they get pretty trigger happy once they learn you have any sort of warrant, so your risk of death goes up exponentially when stopped with warrants. I had a cop come running at my drivers side door with his gun drawn as soon as he ran my plates and saw my warrant for unpaid speeding ticket.
Yep, there’s a reason why many of them don’t work that faire any more. A few of them had their vehicles fully searched, multiple times, because they looked like the type who would have contraband. Those who still dare basically pray all the way to the fairgrounds, then don’t leave until it’s time to escape the state. Only the most straight-laced looking people with the most normal looking cars go out for community grocery runs and such.
