That only applies in a court of law. And they sure have probable cause. White vans.
And I'm not buying the fact those people were on the ground solely because they were driving white vans. Ther had to be some other reason, because, if it were so, there would be people laying on the ground from here to New York City just based on the NUMBER of white vans I see on TV.
White vans are probable cause? What about "blue shirts"? Or "black hair"? Are they also probable cause?
A "white van with MD plates starting with the combo XYZ" would be probable cause. A white van absent any other details clearly is not.
And I'm not buying the fact those people were on the ground solely because they were driving white vans.
The 1:00AM press conference last night addressed this. A man was handcuffed and taken for questioning solely because his vehicle fit a particular description, according to the police spokesman.
