[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My girldfriend is a public defender in Orlando.  She has often mentioned that when police pull over young white teenagers who have pot on them, they are given a warning.  Sometimes the parents are called.  However, when black teenagers are pulled over and there is a scent of pot swirling through the air, the police call in a dog for a probable cause search.  That kid is arrested.

Anybody been following that case in Miami about the Black man arrested 42 times for trespassing.  He has been arrested for trespassing at a convenience store.  The kicker is he works at the store.  I wonder if he can sue and win against Miami PD for false arrest and harassment.  [/quote]

I was wrong, he was arrested 62 times at his place of employment.  All of these arrests created a very long rap sheet.  So now, when he goes to apply for a job and the application asks, "have you ever been arrested", he has to say yes 62 times.  He has only been convicted of one misdemeanor possession of marijuana.  I think that is a drug that the vast majority of Americans have tried once.  Some were lucky to get a warning.  Others never caught.
