To be extremely frank, that only applies if you're white.

(Thanks for the downvote, I guess HN is also mostly white.)

If you're of a minority race and don't consent to searches and things there's a very high chance you will be tasered and arrested.

I was always taught by people of non-white races that if I value my life, I should always do what the police say, and file lawsuits later.

Upvoted, but it's got little to do with race. What you describe happens to everyone, regardless of gender or race. You're more likely to get this treatment if you're black, but it's probably like a 30% margin.

It doesn't apply if you're poor and white, probably why you got down voted.
