First paragraph, the guy had been out of the country and just got back. I'm sure he didnt bother to tell his neighbors when he was planning to come and go either. IMO, the only person in the wrong here is the guy that got arrested. Then of course you have the PD playing guilty by immediately dropping the charges.

Cop was outside the house, that is all it takes.

Its a judgment call either way. Some cops are nicer than others. I can assure you though, not many cops are going to play nice while being called a racist just for doing their job.

Just try getting out of a ticket by claiming the only reason you got pulled over is because of your race. This only applies if the cop is of a different race obviously.
