According to the 911 call, the men were smoking marijuana. There were five of them, all black, standing together one spring morning in a car park in Brookhaven, an affluent suburb of Atlanta. In other parts of America, weed is perfectly legal. But not in the state of Georgia, where possession is a crime punishable by up to ten years in prison. The caller gave the police the location of the car park and descriptions of the men. Less than a minute later the cops had found them – from an altitude of 400 feet.
根据911电话,这些人在抽大麻。他们中有五个,全黑,一个春天的早晨,在富裕的亚特兰大郊区布鲁克黑文的一个停车场里站在一起。在美国其他地区,杂草是完全合法的。但不是在佐治亚州,那里的财产是可判处长达十年监禁的犯罪。呼叫者给警察带了停车场的位置以及对男子的描述。不到一分钟后,警察从400英尺的高度那里找到了它们。
