I've known people - including people of color - "caught" by the police in Texas for small amounts of weed. No problems, nothing like you've described. in fact, they didn't even get charged with anything.
Now, what I haven't known is people with a criminal record getting caught - maybe they get the book thrown at them, who knows.
