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.
It could never be against the police officer themselves due to qualified immunity. They are free to break the law however they wish. And that completely lack of accountability creates the risk inherent in every (US) police interaction.
I'm rooting for you to get laid. Seems like you could use it. Plus, that's not how qualified immunity works.
I don't think that's how it works in theory, but in practice it seems to be pretty close.
(I mostly agree with you otherwise. Mr Banana Car Man would tell us, if he felt himself to be a victim.)
Well done, sir. clap

...until the bananas go brown, of course.
You are my comedy hero, tremon. This is the joke I was looking for and failed to find.

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.
"Violating his civil rights" is harm.
Yes, you're totally right, I was referring to being beaten or killed on the side of the road. I should have been clear.
Unless having their rights violated in this way is one of their kinks.
And as far as we can tell from the writing, it is. (Not in a sexual way, I guess. But he seems to like the attention.)
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.
