And give them another reason to make my life hell? Brilliant.

Even if I did take this shit to court, it wouldn't matter, because the judges down here are part of the problem too. That drug charge was my first offense, and instead of getting the usual probation/suspended license, the Judge (who was at least infinity years old and had a spot-on foghorn leghorn voice) decided to make an example of me and give me a 1 year sentence. For a quarter gram of weed.

If I were somehow able to overcome that, I'd still have to deal with public opinion. Unfortunately, I'm white, so the civil rights and anti police brutality folks could care less what happens to me.

These folks seem to think that all whites are buddy-buddy with law enforcement, when in reality its only whites that have money or influence. In the south, poor white people have about as much social standing as poor black people when it comes to cops.
