You agree you are more likely to get pulled over; late at night (when every one is asleep); because police are bored & have nothing to do?

I wake up real early in morning, like 5 am.  The streets are completely empty at this time.  I drive normally, sober, with seat belt on, and obey all traffic signs.  Yet, still:  Somehow I get pulled over easily driving at these hours.  One time:  Cops said they heard a woman scream in area I just came from.  Or:  Maybe I swung out too wide on another occasion on a right turn.  I come to realize there is no one on the streets at these hours but druggies, cops, etc.  Sometimes; I believe since there is no one on streets...I can just blow right through a stop sign after looking both ways.  After all:  Who am I going to hit?  So when I do this; or any little thing I do...here come the police with flashing lights and sirens...pulling me over to question me where I am going, and where I came from.   Also:  What I do for a living.  I do these same oversights during broad daylight with no police pulling me over.  Can someone help explain this.?

    Definitely true. While you can be pulled over anytime, being one of only a few cars on the road makes you more visible and subject to scrutiny. And police also think that there isn't much good happening late at night, which warrants even more attention.

    I suspect they are on the lookout for drunk drivers.
