Stop the searches
When the subway searches were first announced, I was under the impression that police would turn a blind eye to contraband, such as drugs or alcohol, that may be in bags they are searching. Now, for the record, I don't carry around dime bags or open bottles of gin, not to mention the fact that I rarely take the train, so it wasn't a personal concern. It turns out that police will be arresting people for anything illegal in their bag. I know this isn't going to change anyone's mind that supports the searches, but I hope people can at least see the glaring problem with them if they're going to be used for busting pothead kids. Fine, you don't care about your civil liberties, at least care about your money that is being wasted on this whole sorry idea.
