A Haverford Township Police officer arrested Ed Cummings.
 
His crime?
 
Talking with African Americans in a parking lot. A heavily monitored group...
The *sole* reason Ed Cummings was targeted was because he was talking to
black people.
 
What was he arrested for?    Suspicion of drug dealing. (I'm guessing here.)
 
Did he have any drugs?       None.
 
How do you arrest someone for drugs when they don't have any?  I don't know.

What did he have?            Electronic components: crystals.

No, not Starship Dilithium Crystals; just radio shack components.
 
Haverford Police put out word they had Ed Cummings; the Federal government
responded that they wanted the state case. It was transferred to the Feds.
 
Specifically, the Secret Service wanted to prosecute him.
 
Why the Secret Service? Because Ed was associated with the 2600 hacker's
publication.  And because he had photographed a Secret Service agent who
had come snooping around. The Secret Service agent was picking their nose.
The local TV station showed it.

To which the Secret Service agents responded:

    "Don't fuck with us.
