You see it is not about who violates a traffic ordinance. It is about who gets pulled over and who does not.

Here in Murrieta older cars are targeted because they tend to have those "fix it" discrepancies (like a burned out license plate lamp)....and the drivers of older cars tend to be Latino. Will they pull over the old white guy driving Lexus or Cadillac with the same issue? Hard to tell. You have to remember poorer people cannot fix their cars as easily as wealthier ones, and can become easy targets for law enforcement.
