This has been a fun year and it has been interesting doing many different projects such as comics and public service announcements. It has allowed me to experience all of the different ways to show something that matters. I hope you like the creativity and humor behind these projects.
In this satire I am showing how many police officers focus on busting teens for marijuana and other small crimes when there are much bigger crimes being committed. I believe that all teens are categorized as “Yahoos” in the eyes of police officers. It is also portraying how police officers can get around the law to do what they want using something like probable cause. In this comic strip the officer didn’t have a search warrant but searched the car anyway because he “smelled” marijuana.
Many teens are stereotyped as rule breakers. I feel like a cop would be way more likely to write a ticket to a teen that was speeding compared to an adult that was speeding. Although teens do mess up once in awhile, police officers should be focused on bigger issues rather than innocent teenagers that may or may not be doing something wrong. Teens should not be assumed to be bad people.
