You do know laws vary from one country, state and even town to another, right?

well my friend is black in a white city, riding at night. when we hang out we'll get stopped for nothing, asshole cops

[Cops] would stop 100 people with a nic (100 people that have weed basically) before they would stop a person for a stolen bike.

Well, sorry, but that's bullshit. A crime is a crime, whether it's weed or a stolen bike. If the police have a report of a stolen bike, and they SEE someone with a bike matching the description, they will stop the person and arrest them if they have reason to believe it is the bike in question.

i know he didnt do it,he said he didnt think the people were pressing charges at first but he still has to go into questioning,i told him that if i were in the same sitution that id go to the police staion ask whose bike he was riding and apoligize before hand

as long as the bike was stolen from an honest person (or someone who wasnt involved in illegalities) then that kid likely told his parents and filed a report, in small/medium towns that can mean some action for bored cops or just someone who recognizes the described bike.

If the theif had a shred of IQ he would have fenced that thing or paint it fuckin quick, instead he pawned it off on your friend knowing hed be in trouble, anyone with the balls to steal a bike probably has enough brains to know what hes doing.

Your friends facing a slap on the wrist and a fine at most, hes only facing possesion of stolen property, not facing the grand theft charge of conducting the robery.

Oh and i have a question, whats wrong with Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas? that was one of the most honest hardcore looks into an addict out there

You do not have enough information to state this as a fact. The only legal advice one should be following in a situation like this is to keep your mouth shut and get a lawyer. Do NOT ever talk to the police without your lawyer present.
