Chris Rock has been pulled over by police three times in 2015, and he has photographic proof.

The comedian took selfies on each occasion -- the latest incident occurred on Tuesday -- and uploaded the images to his social media accounts.

The conversation around Rock's photos has turned to one about racial profiling by police in America. Some say Rock is pulled over frequently because he is an African-American man in a nice car.

On Wednesday, actor Isaiah Washington weighed in on the situation with a story about his own experience:

I sold my $90,000.00 Mercedes G500 and bought 3 Prius's, because I got tired of being pulled over by Police. #Adapt @chrisrock— Isaiah Washington (@IWashington) April 1, 2015

In a CNN interview with Don Lemon, Washington expanded on his tweet, saying, "Since I got out of my G500 and have been driving a Prius for the last four years ... I have not been pulled over one time."

Rock has made comments about being pulled over as an African-American in the past. In a 2013 episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, he and host Jerry Seinfeld were pulled over for speeding. At the time, Rock said, "Now here's the crazy thing: If you weren't here, I'd be scared. I'm famous, still black. Right now, I'm looking for my license."
