Suburban, white, Ivy League-educated, American young adult, who knows his rights and how to act respectful (read &quot;deferential&quot; or &quot;submissive&quot;) around police, with a well-off family stuffed with lawyers and law enforcement here.<p>Arrested on a false charge in an upscale neighborhood while well-dressed and not intoxicated. It took two and a half years of my life, a suspension from school, and over $50,000 before the charge was dismissed with prejudice and the suspension overturned.<p>The system works, eventually, for some people. But <i>man</i> can a rogue police officer and DA do some damage to you in the mean time. The psychic scars will probably never completely fade.
