Busta Rhymes Gets a DUI

Rapper Busta Rhymes was arrested yesterday and charged with a DUI in New York. TMZ reports:
Busta Rhymes was arrested on a drunk driving charge early this morning in New York, after cops stopped him for driving an SUV with “excessively tinted windows.”According to the NYPD, the rapper, driving a 2006 GMC Yukon Denali, was pulled over on the far West side of Midtown Manhattan at 12:48 AM, because the car’s windows were too dark. When cops encountered Rhymes, they noticed a “strong odor of alcohol” on his breath and issued a field sobriety test. He was then taken into custody on a charge of driving while impaired and booked at the Midtown North Police Precinct.
Sounds to me like another case of the “black man in a fancy car.” The first thing the cops figure is that the fancy car is stolen, and the black man driving it at very least has a little weed on him or just finished robbing a liquor store while raping a white woman, so it’s pretty much guaranteed arrest gold. They just find the right excuse to pull the guy over — say, “excessively dark windows,” for example — and proceed to violate his fifth amendment rights so they can find some other legitimate reason to arrest him. American justice*, baby! You just can’t beat it.

It wasn’t him. He changed his name to Busta Hymen.

Rapper arrested? In other news, dog bites man, Paris blows unknown C list actor on film, and Nicole Richie, claiming an uneasy feeling of gluttony, refuses another meal.

Funny, but you mean the fourth amendment not the fifth.
Forth amendment is unlawfull search and seizure.
Fifth amendment is Double Jepordy and you can’t testify against your self.

Busta-who-gives-a-fuck, just another guy with a big ego who thinks he is above the law.
Guess what - all cops don’t listen to rap music .

If they pulled him over for DWB, how did they see him thru Limo-tint windows in the middle of the night?
Sure cops think all brown people are guilty of something, but let’s not get overzealous in accusations.
