I came up in a small town and they were thrilled at any opportunity to bust one of us with a little marijuana and they prosecuted as intensely as they could. My town was famous for sending kids to jail rather than diversionary programs.

Yep! People think of it as an urban thing (i think?) but small city police use it as a way to abuse the fuck out of people.
