This is a classic case of Lazy Cops. Instead of using the photographs publicly posted, to do the real police work of proving actual gang crime and activity, they are saying, "he has long hair and drives a VW bug so he must be a pot smoking hippy!"
Social web sites and posted photos are a wonderful tool to find smoke, but that is not the fire!
