A.J. is an African American man who is walking his dog in a city that has an ordinance to make sure people clean up after their dogs. Of course, A.J. has never seen this ordinance enforced, so he doesn't pick up his dog's waste because he forgot a bag that night. A rookie patrolman observes his failure to clean up after his dog. A.J. walks around the corner to find a whole wall of freshly painted graffiti and spray paint cans on the ground. He picks one up to put it in the trash just as the patrolman is walking around the corner to give A.J. an ordinance violation ticket. A.J. has just been arrested for destruction of property and a municipal ordinance violation. He pleads with the patrolman and tries to tell him that he was just attempting to clean up the neighborhood. If his case was
