(12,321 posts)attorney. Same thing happened to me several times in my first year of Law school at Berkeley. Every time I took the trash out at the apartment I lived in or went down to the garage to drive my car, another resident would call the police about "a suspicious black guy". What I don't get is the cops would come to my door (clear indication that I lived there) question me and ask if they could search my apartment. Being a law student, of course I asked well, what is it you are investigating and told them no, not unless you have a warrant. One time it literally took showing them my law school ID to stop them from forcing their way in anyway.
I became a criminal defense attorney for 20 years after school before branching out into other areas of Law.
Yes the guy in this video made me proud.
