Well, I do hope you receive the attention from LEO's that you seek.  With a little luck, your car will be torn apart and you will undergo a body cavity search.

Here's hoping !  

Best wishes, from yours truly.

And remember to support your local Federales, Gringo ...

I’m an old white guy like you. But unlike you my car doesn't smell like pot. So I'll get even less scrutiny than you would. 

Federales have been gone for a while now. The National guard is around. They are mostly kids doing their service. They might look scary, but if you talk to them in Spanish and offer them a cold coke, they are super friendly.  We do also kick in for the local cops Christmas party. They are underpaid civil servants and that's their year end bonus. They are all generally helpful. If you are looking for corruption, head to the municipal government. And the permitting department. Too many gringos bribing to be able to get around local laws.

Happy to educate you further on your southern neighbors. If any of this ever gets through,  you would see there is less to fear from them than there is from the boots so eagerly bow to.

Edit to add:

I know you think the term 'Gringo' is derogatory (you certainly seem to enjoy using it that way), but it has a wide range of meanings, most of them very innocuous. Sometimes it can be used in a teasing way, other times in an endearing way, often it's just a descriptor - I often refer to myself as 'El Gringo' when meeting someone I've been texting because that is an easy/obvious tag that will make sense if I'm the only white dude in a crowd of Mexicans.  I've been called that by guys who also refer to me as 'Hermano' who I've shared family dinners with. So call me what you want, I'll always try to take it in a positive way.  A little more SOB (south of border, not the other one) education for you.

Oh, did I get a little close to that nerve?  I'll not bother rehashing everything wrong with you and your ideas. It's well covered history. Suffice to say many studies showing you are wrong, and much history showing you are a bigot.   Enjoy your police state. One of these days they will come for something you care about (like your drugs).

Understood, but there are usually different reasons for that.  These guys aren't issuing traffic citations or giving sobriety tests.

I have spent my entire driving life trying to be invisible to the police.  Includes NOT having bumper stickers or other easy to identify markings that the cops could use to key in on a car they might be looking for.

There was an old truism / joke back in the day here in Cleveburg, that anyone who had an WMMS bumper sticker on their car did not have any insurance and was always a prime candidate to get pulled over, and not just within the city limits.  Pretty much anywhere in the Cleveland / Akron metro area.  Bonus points if you had a tail light out and the bumper sticker.

I've got a bunch of stickers in spanish on our van. You would have to be close to tell, but I've always wondered what a cop up here would say. I'll add a flag though, because...
