Driving through Alabama yesterday while on tour, Texas indie rock band Girl in a Coma got pulled over by la Migra. Their crime: Driving While Brown. Seems the Border Patrol agents stopped the band because they saw two Latinas in the front seats, the van had Texas plates, and was "full of luggage." It was one in the morning. The agent asked them for their papers.
Apparently la migra can stop anyone within 100 miles of the U.S. Border, including both coasts, and the Gulf of Mexico.This means anyone in the cities of New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, Houston, among many others, can be stopped. In fact, 2/3 of American citizens live in this "constitution free zone." 197.4 million people. Some states such as Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, and others, lie completly within this zone. No warrant or probable cause is needed for what the government calls a "routine search."
Girl in a Coma, driving twelve miles outside of Mobile, Alabama, were deep in the "constitution free zone." Apparently if you're Brown and have guitar cases piled in the back of your citizenship is questionable.
No other details except according to bass player Jenn Alva they were listening to Elvis Presley on their iPod.
What a crock of shit!! It's ridiculous that the goverment can get away with this bullshit. I've been pulled over and asked for my "status" by someone who spoke broken up English. I guess we're not as free as we think. FUCK THE MIGRA!

This discussion was good, but left out one important factor in getting a sense of the thought process of the police, which is that at no time was Shankar asked what kind of car he was driving. Sad as it is, the police reaction to a dark-skinned man driving a top-end BMW will differ from if he's driving a Volkswagen...or a Cadillac, for that matter. An important element to truly analyzing these events, in my opinion.

It's super ridiculous but it's good to know that though. If you live in Florida, you can be stopped for questioning, never knew that

The colors, logo as well as name of your association, player and also the company written to the jerseys enable them having a separate name. To try to remember a physical activities personality jacket number is probably more as compared with sufficient. Mostly remember that it is seen the fact that sports individualities present their jerseys recommended to their fans.
