| BlameAnesthesia 07/21/19 12:57:55 AM #36: | When I used to ride a motorcycle, I felt like my city's PD was relatively protective of bikes. If people drove into my lane without seeing me, and it was witnessed, they'd pull the driver over. I had a few cops on the opposite lane of traffic flash their headlights to warn me of upcoming speed traps. One time my bike broke down on the freeway in standstill traffic because it overheated during the summer; the cop closed down the one lane traffic to allow me to walk my bike to the right-hand side of the freeway and spent a good half hour trying to jump start my bike to avoid having me to tow it. If I've gotten pulled over with slight speeding and I'm in scrubs, they tend to give me a warning as kind of courtesy to other "line of duty" type of worker. But I'm also white and I also tend to treat them with a lot of respect, so I get that reflected in back. I recognize interactions with police with other people are not always like this, so I kind of understand the level of privilege I experience with my interactions as them. --- Anesthesia resident - PGY 1 ...
