Sounds like you probably deserved it. I was thrown the book at in Manassas County VA for super excessive speeding in 1994. I think because I was white. All others in the traffic court that day (seriously ALL others) were minorities with worse offenses (hit and run, drunk driving, etc.) but I received the biggest punishment. Oh well. White privilege to pay....
Just got pulled over in Clay County a month ago for speeding (I seriously need to watch the speedometer or get a slower car) and the black deputy very kindly gave me a ticket. Police have never been anything but nice to me. I wish I would stop introducing myself to them so much.....
Whatever you did to have to show up was clearly something you should not have done. Sometimes cops scare the shit out of you so that you don’t do it again. Sometimes they actually care.
Going 40 in a 35 and being pulled over 10 miles outside of clay county. Yeah, scared me straight. I was there to argue he was out of his jurisdiction. Judge said he didn’t give a shit where he was, changed my speeding to reckless driving and increased the fine. Guess I deserved it.

Based on wut. I didn’t even say anything. I just showed up.
