I’m not ignoring it because it is immaterial. Just being in a KNOWN drug trade area is not consent to be detained. I lived in a known drug trade area for a few months years ago when my wife and I were separated. I drove a brand new car because I had a good job. One night at almost midnite two cops hammered on my door and demanded to know who I was and how I could afford a new Mustang GT. They explained that this was a KNOWN drug trade area so they were just checking. At MIDNIGHT on a work night. This was 1994, so police abuses are not a new thing for me and my distrust for police tactics in their war against the citizenry started that night.
