I would suggest this....if Gray’s arrest was illegal....most Baltimore cops will question why they need to perform any drug-related arrests and stand down on such actions in the future. If any situation appears to involve drugs...for a cop...just walk away and pretend it’s not part of the job.
The arrest had nothing to do with drugs. It was an arrest over a common pocket knife, that under Baltimore’s vague difinition, the arresting officer called a switchblade.
