The color of your skin has nothing to do with it. You get pulled over because you break the law by speeding, or following too close, or improper left turn, or whatever the reason is they stopped you in the first place. You get a ticket for the same reason, and probably a bit of the attitude you throw at them when they are just doing their job. Slow down, obey the law and it won't matter if you are green, you won't be stopped and ticketed.

This is a great question. I am sure skin color is a factor, but the person I know who has gotten many tickets since I have known his is Caucasian and I am sure he deserved every ticket he got.
He drives way too fast, thinks he should be a racecar driver and cops attitude when pulled over, how do I know? I am his dad.

It is possible, but it has a lot more to do with your attitude with the police officer. If you are getting tickets, then it seems like you're probably doing something illegal, so you really have no reason to complain. You have nobody to blame but yourself if you are actually committing traffic violations and stop using your color as an excuse.

Racial profiling does happen. Just make sure your legit and polite when you do get stopped. If you ever get a ticket for whatever reason, dispute it. Most times when you see the judge admit responsibility, your not charged the points.

I've gotten plenty of tickets, there's always a reason for a ticket or they could not write one.
