she did not know at the time that drug dealers often carry drugs in condoms. "I was naive, really stupid," she said.

Well Miss Lee at least there is one thing you've learned in college

Yep, she learned that the Drug Warriors are tyrants who have the power to ingnore the Constitution and jail someone who broke no laws.

Almost all police departments, especially Sheriff depts. can test the 'unknown white powder' immediately on the spot with the various mobile test kits provided to LEO's.

Those test kits are 98.9% accurate when particular procedures are followed in their use.

I've always said that proper handling of the test kits can give false positives if LEO's are too careless with cross contamination from handling previous true positive samples.

This is an issue of training, but no way, this girl should have been arrested on the spot and jail until at least all 3 condoms were tested twice on the scene.

Ah. So the City of Philadelphia is then expected to pay for her ignorance? She bears no responsibility for what happened?

Oh. And how do we know this wasn't a dry run for smuggling real drugs?
