This is what privilege looks like. 🚨
At a Grand Rapids, Michigan City Commission meeting, a white resident admitted he drove with expired license plates for a year to test police racism. He says police never stopped him.
Driving with expired plates violates the law.

A cracked taillight.�Window tint that’s a little too dark.�A lane change an officer claims was improper.
Minor issues like these trigger traffic stops every single day.
