I'm still just baffled at the sheer stupidity here.

“You got a vial of opium that was in your center console,” an officer told Raghu. “Go and take a seat.”

The acutely ill child was triaged, placed in a room, examined by the MD and RN and treated - even before they were registered and a chart made to write orders. Canada's publicly funded healthcare system, bruised and like the rest of the nation, unbowed.

So very sad to hear about the passing of my irreplacable friend and mentor, Raghu Rai. Raghu was not just the greatest Indian photographer of his generation, he was the most beloved, generous & wonderful man.

“During the traffic stop, police found a small perfume bottle in his car labeled “Opium” and arrested Raghu for possessing narcotics, even though he told them the bottle contained perfume and the word “opium” referred to the scent.”
Dumbshit cop.
