One of my sisters lives in west Oakland. She told another sister that the local PD has now started a new policy of pulling over and searching ANY man who is caught riding a bicycle at night. There is no curfew, no crime need have been committed nor any suspicion of a crime. It is simply this: MAN + BIKE = POLICE INTERROGATION, right there on the street. Now, in Oakland (cuz, we
are talkin' about Oakland here), chances are they're gonna get a lot of people with a lot of drugs. That's the majority of the busts that I see in her area, too. Prostitution, vehicle thefts, narcotics.. here, lemme give y'all a link, you'll see.
