Red does draw attention. The very first time I ever flew, it was in a turbo-prop heading to Las Vegas. I don't know what altitude we were at, but not as high as a regular jet. Anyway, when I looked down at the cars below me, the only ones that caught my eye were the red cars. Even though some of the other cars were going faster, the red ones were the ones I noticed.
As far as getting pulled over in general, I used to get pulled over all the time in my T/A. Honestly, I wasn't doing anything wrong those times, and I never received any citations. The cops simply wanted to pull me over! In all but one, or maybe two of those times, it was a younger officer, just starting out. I almost kind of believe they were hoping that I'd run, so they could chase me. With the older, more experienced officers, I think either they were looking for somebody, or...looking to see just who's who for future reference.
