I would probably pull him over too but arguably he should be pulled over less than normal, right? The risk that he’s some criminal is probably pretty low since not a lot of criminals would chose a car like that to travel.

On the other hand it probably has an increased likelihood to have technical problems that make it reasonable to pull it over though.

Yes but every good police officer had watched Arrested Development and so knows that there’s always money in the banana stand.

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.

If im a drug smuggler I'm definitely driving the most boring, common car directly BEHIND the banana car.

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.
