once i got arrested for traffic tickets that i hadnt paid on time. prior to being handcuffed, i was searched and asked if i had any contraband on me. i refused to answer. when we arrived at the jail, they found weed in my sock. instead of giving me a simple possession charge, it was enhanced to a felony for "carrying narcotics into a correctional facility"....this scene plays out 100 times everyday in america....this is a violation of my 5th amendment right, not to incriminate myself. police know this, yet they still play this game. i bear NO legal burden to snitch on myself. .... {{maybe not ALL police do this, but i believe the vast majority do}}
in my case, it only cost me more $. what happens to the poor, indigent ppl that cant afford decent legal representation? theyre given very lengthy jail or probation or jail sentences.
and then yall have the nerve to say "im one of the good guys"
