Police officers tend to pull over dirty cars more than clean cars, and they can pull you over for even the smallest infraction.
Why Does a Dirty Car Attract More Attention?
Police officers make a lot of assumptions based on the look of your car. "Do they have insurance? Do they have drugs? Do they have a concealed weapon?" A really dirty car with a broken tail light or tape on the windows might set off some red flags. The officer may become even more suspicious once they pull your over, approach your vehicle, and notice a lot of trash, clothes, and other items lying around inside. Some officers could think that a dirty car means you're trying to fly under the radar and avoid attention.
It's of course understandable that some people can't afford repairs or detailing, but do the best you can to regularly give your car a good wash and interior cleaning. It could be the difference between you getting pulled over and not.
