Trevor Noah on Getting Pulled Over in America

white people have a very different relationship with the police i was trying to explain this to my friend dave you know when we when we're hanging out he's like dude what is it with black people and police i'm like it's not the black people don't like the police or hate the police it's just that just that you have a tumultuous history with the police one day we were driving we're driving on the highway and the police car pulled up behind us and i got tense i just got really tense and he's like dude what's going on i said the police the police are behind us he was like yeah anne did you do anything wrong i said that's not the point because it really isn't for white people that is the point the police will send you to jail if you do something wrong as a black person you have a different relationship the police may send you to jail just because i know this because i was driving i got pulled over by the police for the first time in my life in america and already i'm not very comfortable when driving in the united states you know not because of the other side of the road but because the other side of the car i'm not used to that you know like like i i always get into the car on the wrong side i'll be shopping and i'll come back to my car confidently and i'll jump inside and put the things down and then i'm like ah and then instead of getting out i sit there i always just sit there because i always think somebody's watching me so i just sit there and i act like i planned it all like where is my driver where is my truck he should have been here by now where is my oh well i guess i'll drive myself i don't know why i do that i'm not comfortable do you have to drive in los angeles so i had a little rental car and i'm driving on the freeway and this police car pulls up behind me he drives behind me for a little bit and then he flashes these lights and i was like oh he probably wants to go past and so i moved over to the middle lane and then he came with me and he flashed these lights again and i was like oh come on just go punch me man he's good i went back to the last night he came back with me and he was the flashlight and this time he's like yeah go pass you keep doing with me because i didn't think you were stopping me i thought it was basically the vehicular equivalence of that moment on the sidewalk when you both don't know which way to go either we were doing that without cars like i thought that was happening i thought that was happening and clearly he thought that i was evading him in the most polite manner ever because he gets irritated he's like no i couldn't hear what the hell you were saying which i think is part of the problem i don't think it's fair that police have speakers on their cars and we don't i think this is a recipe for disaster that's the first step in mending relationships is communication people i don't know what the hell that guy was saying but i couldn't tell him he was like if i had a speaker i would have had the ability to be like sure i cannot hear what you're saying enunciate your words please enunciate your words speak clearly i said paul let's start wrong no no use your words buddy use your words talk to me talk to me what do you need pull over pull over i'll be like okay i will be pulling over right now thank you very much like it would be more effective but i didn't know so i'm then he's like i'm like i don't know what the hell you want to do i'm like what are you doing he's like pull over pull over and i panicked and so i stopped i pulled over right there where i was on the freeway which apparently you're not supposed to do i didn't know this i didn't know this because i just know the police tell me to do something i do so he said pull over and then i stopped and then he was like don't pull over there then i was like well you should have been more specific you can't tell me to pull over and then tell me to not pull over you shouldn't say pull over at a time that is more appropriate you can't just tell now i'm panicking cause i get back into the road i'm like this guy does not know what he wants i'm going back but i'm back in the road and he's like kick the next exit and now we're driving and now he's guiding me along he's like i had a really angry gps it was the weirdest thing ever it's like he's driving me like make a right make a ride at the lunch make a ride it's like i chose angry cop on my ways that's what it felt like he's like turn left don't know i said left turn left no recalculating when it is
