charged with possession of tools for the commission of a crime
I find this charge troubling. If my truck and toolbox were searched they'd find tools for the commission of a hundred crimes. The reality is that a 45 year old white guy in a late model F-250 won't catch this charge, (and a paid lawyer likely gets it tossed in any circumstance), but I don't like seeing this level pf discretion in the hands of the police. I usually roll my eyes at claims of institutional racism in LE but this a clear cut example.

If you had those items out of your tool box at 2am and we're looking into a car window parked on the street that wasn't yours, yes you would be charged.

The state still has to prove intent, but I get what you're saying. Ted Bundy got popped on this charge.

his race didn't matter as much as his age...so it is more age discrimintion.
