Utahn avoided drug charges -- until he allegedly refused to wear a mask

Three years ago, a Utah man was arrested after police raided his apartment and said they discovered more than 100 pounds of marijuana and more than $50,000 in cash.

But the man was never charged with any crimes and may never have been if he had only agreed to wear a mask inside a Provo store, investigators say.

whites are simply not arrested for crimes they commit but minorities are. This is what needs to be changed. The Biden admin is talking about things that need to be changed about law enforcement...this is one of the big ones. Stop arresting blacks or start arresting whites for them crimes and traffic infractions.
