Do white people get away with more, when it comes to dealing with the cops?
one of my friends just got really lucky, they let him go after wrecking his truck in the woods. he was all screwed up on downers. couldn't walk, slurring. they let his girl friend come pick him up. no charges. I wish I was have that lucky.

No, but respectful people get away with more when dealing with officers of the law.
edit: I guess a couple of people added the phrase "and only white people are respectful" to my answer. I didn't say that at all. Plenty of white people are disrespectful, an plenty of minorities are respectful. I'm just saying that police officers don't take kindly to disrespect, as well they shouldn't, and as well few people do.

Maybe in the USA. But not in canada. I've personally been hand cuffed in the back of a police cruiser. while taking consecutive shots to the face.

well i believe so, it really depends on the cop, but usually they do because cops do discriminate to do their job because they have to look for somebody that looks like a trouble maker, and they don't see whites as much of a threat or trouble. so they can get away with something easier, well in my opinion at least. cause many cops, not all, tend to be racist.

I know they do where I live. The cops in my town are so racist and discriminate so badly... This is coming from a white person. I'm not just saying that because I'm a black person who got busted a bunch.

I don't know where you're from, but where i'm from, none of my white friends get away with anything. In fact, I've had more black friends of mine get away with some pretty bad stuff.

At one time in the USA if you were to drunk to drive and they pulled you over the cops would give you a ride home (if you were local resident)
But yeah I would say so, but then most white people don't lie to the cops.

Probably so. I just hate the thought of anyone getting off because of the color of their skin.
