Didn't see this posted anywhere, hopefully not late.

[quote]After being arrested more than 60 times for trespassing in the store where he works, a US man and his employer are preparing a civil rights lawsuit because they believe the arrests were racially motivated.
In the past four years Earl Sampson, a 28-year-old black man from Miami Gardens in Florida, has been stopped and questioned by police 258 times, searched more than 100 times and arrested and jailed 58 times.
But in spite of his long rap sheet, the Miami Herald reports that the most serious offense Mr Sampson has been convicted of was marijuana possession.
Most of Sampson's police citations have occurred at the same place: the 207 Quick Stop convenience store where he works, the same place police say he was trespassing. [/quote]
