I'd have to challenge AutoCorrect's implicit assertion that (s)he doesn't break the law. There are so many laws that the assertion is a little difficult to believe. Your explanation is far more likely...
ie - this is the US and it's far better to be white than black, or rich than poor.
It's the poor and minorities the cops choose to scrutinize and enforce against most.
Few times have I seen such obliviousness to white middle-class privilege on HN.
