I have this privilege, too. I think it's because I am white and more or less middle class. Being female, helps, too.
All the stuff in the news this past year sure has clued me in that it IS a privilege, though, and one that many polite, law-abiding, mild-mannered Americans do not have.
No. It is because you are a law abiding citizen. Has nothing to do with being white, female or any other color. IF you treat the LEO with respect, Do what he / she says. They will have no reason to treat you any other way.
The stuff you have seen on the news happened because the person was rude, disrespectful, and fought the officers. Bottom line. LEO is NOT going Blue light you, walk up to the vehicle and shoot you for no reason.
Never take the news today for truth. They have their agenda, and they twist the news to reflect their opinion to get you to believe the way they do. Want proof. Ask Brian Williams how many times he was really shot down. and if he says any more than none. It's a lie.
Did you see that video of the kid (I think he was 12 years old) who was playing by himself in the park with a toy gun? Officers pulled up and shot him instantly. No time for him to give them any lip even if he wanted to (and he looked like a shy and geeky kid). It was all on the security camera.
