police work/racial profiling

[Wayne Johnson]

Uh, Frances, there are "dope smellin' dawgs" jus fer that purpose.

Besides, you would be too suspicious not to check out anyway, right?  Given
your purple hair, black net stockings and low-cut, sequined blouses.  Not to
mention the tatoos and rings!

Don't try it.  Don't even take the bus!

Your friend.
