Can you expand on the negative experiences your immigrant parents had with police and courts? Stop and frisk or things like that?

- wccrawford 5y agoA cop decided that the guy who let his kid drive the boat wasn't at fault in the accident, but my parents were, despite my parents doing everything right. A judge decided that a huge, old tree wasn't worth anything (when someone else cut it down without asking), and sided against my parents. Those are the 2 things that come to mind immediately. Basically, any interactions that involved my parents and a local were biased towards the locals by cops/judges/etc.
