I have some family friends, and their son recently got arrested for a felony drug dealing charge at the end of his spring semester at college. From what I understand, the police built this whole sting to catch the guy at his school mailbox when he got his shipment from whatever Silk Road's current successor is. Anyway, he confessed everything and now he's just waiting around, unable to get a job because interviewers invariably ask why he stopped school. Apparently having a job really helps in these cases. Anyway, they remarked one day on the phone, "we've never dealt with criminal Court, and we don't know anything about it, except the lawyer doesn't sound very optimistic. The only hope we have is because the system is so racist that being middle class and white might actually save us." They also said something about how the police were pushing some angle about using Tor. I'm very concerned about that: I can just picture the ghost story that the prosecutors are going to tell some septuagenarian judge about this special internet for terrorists and arms dealers.
