It looks to me like I'd have been off-track. I was harassed by police because of the way I looked, but my family was not, nor was the harassment as structured as this. I lost 3 jobs in high school because I was late. I was late because the police were searching my vehicle.

They never found anything or charged me with anything after 15 traffic stops inside a single year.

I'm solidly successful now. But, I guarantee if the police had been just a little more deliberate about their harassment, had targeted my family, my 17 year old anti-establishment self would have acted out in ways that would have actually put me on the wrong track. Or, maybe they would have found something to actually charge me with something, even trivial? Or made something up? Or maybe my parents would have gotten fed up and taken it out on me?

I feel for the kids in Pasco Co. This is state sponsored harassment, is almost certainly racist in application, and definitely does more harm than good.
