First off, no tickets or even stops so far. V1 is doing it's job perfectly!

Second, the "reports" that show red cars "get pulled over more" should be looked at a little closer.

Red cars make up a large portion of the "pool" of cars used in those reports. Red cars get pullled over proportionately to their % of total cars. In those reports, gray or silver cars actually get pulled over almost double compared to their % of total cars.

If I didn't explain it right, here's a little visualization, for example:

Total Cars:

Red - 40%
Silver/Gray - 20%
Yellow - 10%
Black - 30%

Tickets:

Traffic Stops:

Red - 35%
Silver/Gray - 35%
Yellow - 5%
Black - 25%

Obviously, numbers were made up to favor my argument, but closely reflect the "reports" I was able to find on the Internet.
