On Monday, March 17, 2003, Tyler came up with this... TD> Cops tend to leave you alone unless you're robbing or TD> killing somebody.
Or unless you're smoking a cigarette. TD> Drugs get the occsional bust, but the vast majority are left alone if TD> its discrete. In some places that may be, but in others it's entirely false. I've been harassed by cops just for shaking hands with someone on 49th st. in Sunset Park, BK. People have been followed there just for using a payphone. It depends on where you are, and who you are. Granted a wealthy white suit-type is less likely to buy their drugs in public, but they're also less likely to be pulled over, etc. There's more drugs on Wall st. than in all of Brooklyn or the Bronx but you'd never know from the police reports. It's less about discretion than circumstance. -- stuart There ought to be limits to freedom. George W. Bush
