re: #76 stone

The federal crackdown on legal marijuana cultivation is a 4th amendment issue that I spend significant time on. I have very strong opinions about stop & frisk, though I am not active in that conversation.

Why not? There have been five million people stopped in NYC by stop and frisk. That’s five million people actually harmed, actually stopped on the street and frisked. It is a clearly racist policy. It is doing actual harm.

Why is this more important to you, the potential harm of this program? Why did this strike a nerve? Is it because, unlike stop and frisk, this could affect you, or is there another reason?
