Just saying - Riding Dirty, smh

There has been an increase of celebrity tour buses pulled over by local law enforcement over the past few years. With the more stringent security checks at airports, many weed smoking/gun toting stars opt to take to the highways of America. Guess what, the po-po is not as dumb as you think. They know why you are doing it - so they set roadblocks for you and do those things called stops and search. If you don't give them permission, they will just get a judge to sign off on a search warrant and bingo, here come the dogs and the DEA folks.
Now you little people that can't afford the tour bus yet - you speed, you drive in caravans of vehicles, and you have folks that are on probation that aren't supposed to travel across state line without permission form the P.O. (Probation Officer) - all n all, a recipe for disaster.
When they pull you over they are gonna ask for ID, proof of vehicle registration, proof of auto insurance and run your name on the SKIPS system. If they smell marijuana, they are gonna ask if they can search the vehicle, and if you don't consent, you will be detained and a search warrant will be gotten.
So my question is why travel across state lines if you are on probation? Why ride dirty (which means with drugs and weapons)? Why not have ID on you, when everyone with an ounce of goose sense knows people 16 years of age and above by law are supposed to always have ID on them)? Why drive at rates of speed that are not only illegal, but so excessive that they can cause you to be not only ticketed, but arrested?
There is a denigration in the mindset of certain elements in the Black community, and it is scary. It is almost like they take the "I don't give a F***" thing to the highest extreme.
Many of these folks are husbands, fathers and bread winners for their families. What happens to the ones that depend on you when you go down?
It is totally mind boggling.
