Joseph "Jazz" Hayden Founder of Still Here Harlem Productions filmed these 3 undercover NYPD police officers search, frisk and arrest a Harlem citizen after finding a joint of marijuana. Jazz, vocally questioned the officers conduct and procedures, considering that a small amount of marijuana is considered a violation in New York State. This incident took place two days after a very violent shooting incident in Harlem involving police http://bit.ly/cy4t5X and community members .

Marijuana possession is legally decriminalized in New York State, yet New York City makes more pot arrests than any other city in the world. Since 1993 NYPD has arrested close to a half million people for possessing small amounts of marijuana. In 2008 alone nearly 90 percent of these arrests were made on black and latino New Yorkers.
