"In 1991, plainclothes officers at a train station in Maryland stopped <a href=""http://famm.org/FacesofFAMM/FederalProfiles/RickyDarden.aspx"" target=""_blank"">Ricky Darden</a> because he looked ""worried and nervous,"" according to <a href=""http://famm.org"" target=""_blank"">Families Against Mandatory Minimums</a>. Darden refused to let the officers search his bag, and a drug dog was brought in to search it. They found 217.7 grams of crack in the bag. A Maryland judge threw Darden's case out claiming the officers did not have sufficient cause to detain his bag, and the Maryland Supreme Court upheld the ruling saying it was unconstitutional. The federal government prosecuted Darden and found him guilty of possession with intent to distribute cocaine base. Because of two prior offenses, Darden's mandatory minimum sentence was life in prison."
