| Poor guy. He just wanted to spread some joy and now he's risking his life repeatedly. One of these police stops it's not going to work out. There are just too many US police eager to use physical violence for no reason. |

| While absolutely and sadly true, something tells me that rogue banana drivers are not the ones most likely to be killed in a traffic stop. Besides, his family would surely win the resulting case… on a peel. |

| He’s totally fine. He’s driving a car that basically no minority would ever drive, plus it has an open cockpit to facilitate the officer’s “trust but verify” instincts. |

| There's almost a zero percent chance of a police officer harming him during one of these stops. Annoying him a perhaps violating his civil rights, possibly, but not harmed. |
