Because the response I keep getting when asking the circumstances is only about the instance of him and Seinfeld. It doesn't matter what I think, nor your ad hominem attack of me, I just want to know more about the other stops. Why is that so difficult to get? Should I start passing judgment on you now?
Knock yourself out. Let me give you a hint, if details are left out, it is for a reason.

I get it, you are compelled to answer with your own prejudiced judgment presented in the form of unwarranted condescension you perceive as being witty - because you don't know.
My son gets stopped regularly for no reason whatsoever. And he's only brown, not black. And brownISH at that. Before people decided to be paranoid about anybody who looked remotely "Muslim" (in the dumbest most stereotypical sorts of ways), he would most likely have been mistaken for being Greek, Italian - basically some version of Mediterranean. Or possibly Hispanic.
He has never had a ticket. Not so much as a warning. Nor has he ever been given a reason for being stopped, they just demand his driver's license and registration for no reason.
If it were me, they'd have a hard time getting either without coming up with a reason for stopping me, AND I'd be videoing the whole thing.
I USED to get stopped for no reason, a lot. Basically for DWRAYF - driving while reasonably attractive young female. And I was very cold to idiot cops playing those kinds of games. I once got a $5 seat belt fine for my trouble - I had removed the seat belt in reaching for my wallet out of the glove box, before I realized it was another no-reason stop.
Other than that, they had no reason to stop me so I was fine with embarrassing the hell out of them, insisting on justification for the stop, and rejecting their inappropriate behavior out of hand.
However I was never in any danger of getting shot or dragged out of the car, knocked around, and cuffed. Young brown men - INNOCENT young brown men - ARE. Hence, he never argues with the a**holes - just hands over the license and registration and looks straight ahead.
BTW - He drives a 12 or 13 year old Hyundai Excel. Not exactly a gangsta-mobile.
Young white men get pulled over a lot too. Don't feel singled out on behalf of your son.
