It is outrageous that the police stood by and watched a dangerous crime in progress until it turned into an even more serious - lethal - crime. Out. Rage. Us.https://missionlocal.org/2020/09/police-waited-until-fatal-shooting-occured-to-take-action-on-side-show-witnesses-say/ …
This anecdote doesn’t answer my question. Also the CA vehicle code says your turn signal has to be active for 100ft. Says nothing about 5 vs 10 seconds. So if your story is true then that’s an unlawful stop, not a pretext stop, and it’s not applicable in this discussion.

That incident was in Utah, just outside of Salt Lake City. I took him at his word that I’d violated the law, but not that my violation was the more than a pretext (a pretend reason) for a search.

I’m a white dude. This happens to me once every few years. It’s annoying, but I’m not typically a target. The fact that it happens all the time to people in SF who live in certain neighborhoods or have a certain skin color is wrong and probably a violation and the 4th Amendment.
