And that is why you never agree to allow them to search anything (car, home) without a warrant. Police will make up shit. I could tell you a story of a local cop here trying to railroad my 16 year old son 10 years ago. Your poverty angle is probably correct because in my son's case, he had the luxury of his parents getting him a private attorney and the charges dropped.
Edit: I should say some police will make up shit. I don't believe all police are this way. But the few bad ones make the rest look bad.
