Hey , every stoner knows to keep a pack of papers in the big bag. The baggies stay in the kitchen where they belong and the scale stays next to the postage meter.

Point is, your whiteness saved you. Blacks who know the law or not still don't get the same protection. Had that been me, you can be damn sure I would have been detained.

So let me ask you. Should 2 white boys in a BMW cruising the ghetto 10 minutes after the bars close get pulled over?
Depends on their behavior.

Go one step further. How bout 3 white guys in a pickup truck with a rebel flag over the back window , a smith and wesson bumper sticker on one side and a white power sticker on the other be pulled over when cruising the a black neigborhood at 3 am?
Like that would actually happen. But in the implausible instance that it did, I'd pull 'em over and tell them to get the hell out of the neighborhood for their own safety.

Little Italy is always a good stop, and much cheaper then Bostons North End.

How the hell do I know? I was profiled because I was a black male.

My whiteness didnt save me. The fact that it was an ilegal stop and that they had no probable cause for a warrent is what saved me. That and the common sense to tell em to pound sand when they asked if they could search.

Or better yet, just don't go to NYC. Spend time in cities that don't violate your 4th Amendment rights.
