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.
Phrasing it like that, it’s apples/oranges. But what about police responding on-going drug dealing complaints in an area mainly populated/frequented by POC? Won’t the resulting stops be primarily POC? Will they still be “targeting” POC in those stops? Are those stops pretextual?

What about police breaking up sideshows as opposed to other large unsanctioned gatherings when sideshows primarily occur in low-income neighborhoods and neighborhoods mainly populated by POC?

I don't know about sideshows. But I do know that the State's 2020 RIPA Board Report showed that, in SF, Black people were stopped at rates over 5X their representation in the city’s overall population. Which is a greater disparity than LA or San Diego.https://oag.ca.gov/ab953/board
