hmm...his album must be finally ready to come out. lol j/k but yeah that is a pretty bull shit charge, unless the knife was larger then the legal length to carry one in that state. i know here if you carry a knife bigger the 6 inches or something, you will get charged.

I want to know what was the traffic violation that made the police feel they needed to search the car.

when will rappers learn to stay away from chelsea and the meatpacking district. they have your fucking plate numbers. they know your cars, and the entire area is under surveillance. take a fucking cab. Being in jail has never helped your sales. it never has that shit is a myth.

In NY and pretty much everywhere if the Knife is longer than your 4 fingers put together its Illegal.

NYPD is going to make an example of any rapper they can get their hands on just like any other Police Dept.

Yo, it is crazy that cops can find a knife on Siagon but can find people with bombs and stuff. Dude is a target anyway because he has a criminal past. This is straight ignorant man, cops and these "traffic violations" are starting to look real sketchy.

Ol_Skool_K — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 13:43:16 GMT

A knife !!!!!! come on. The hip hop police need to quit. The system can't stand to see a young brother (legally) in a comfortable financial space. They see a young cat in a nice ride and automatically think they're into some kind of mischief. GTFOH a knife though.... they could have let this one ride. They know these rappers are targets, if a cat tries to run up he gets cut, he'll live. Then again, maybe the knife is used for a hobby of his like carving, who knows ??

But real talk, if the police really knew hip hop, they would know that Saigon's a conscious and positive cat. Then again, that could be part of the problem they have with him. MESSAGE !!!! - Later K - Big ups to Saigon

THANK U MR. POPO
These dumb asses KNOW they're being watched...they talk about the hip hop cops EVERYDAY!!!! IF u have to carry a weapon in ur car...drive the car like u have some damn sense...if u have to speed and break traffic laws, keep ur drugs and weapons out the car..its common fucking sense...everyone wants to blame the police and say they're trying to bring down rap...but the dumb ass rappers are spoon feeding them...if i walk down a block and get beat the hell up becuz i know they dont like me, I'm not going to keep walking down the same damn block..

Why can't rappers figure out the basic laws of society? No drinking and driving, no weapons, no killing, shooting, you know the simple stuff. That is a weak charge though.

Don't you have to give your consent for a search of your vehicle during a simple traffic stop or are the laws differant in NY and the cops can search your car on a wimb? What the hell is the big deal about a knife? Do they think calling it a gravitiy knife is going to inflame us? A knife is a knife and even if you pull it on a person who is only armed with a stick you will be at a disadvantage. They are reaching on this one.

I ain't never heard of a gravity knife. Myabe I'm slipping on my knife game. Either way, these rappers know the Hip Hop cops is watching. Just waiting for them to slip. They're going to especially gun for him (Saigon) because of his criminal past. They got to be more on their P's and Q's. Anyway, as Chamillionare's new joint says Hip Hop cops. Murder was the case and they blame me.

This aint a damn publicity stunt for his album. You kiddin me? The man already been to jail, got shot.. or stabbed or w/e, and whooped dudes ass who tried to rob him. Why does he need to get arrested? All I can say is I hope the label doesn't use this as a damn excuse to fuck up his album even more. These label heads are slippin.. Put out the FUCKING ALBUM.

re: Rapper Saigon Arrested; Charged With Carrying A Weapon

baysics — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 19:05:24 GMT

first off, if i'm not mistaken he's on probation or parole, probably the latter. When on probation/parole you have a 4-way search clause(at least in California, i'm sure this applies to NY as well) that enables any officer of the law, or pretty much any government official to "legally" search you, your premises, or your vehicle when ever wanted. I put legally in quotes since i feel it is a violation of our amendment rights due to the fact that one can be searched with out any provocation. Furthermore, when on paperwork you are not allowed to be caught with or be around any weapons even if they are possessed by someone else. If caught it is considered a violation of probation/parole. With that being said it's still a weak ass charge.

Hip Hop cops must really exist becuz I'm willing to bet all the money in my left pocket that 85% of my AHH fam is riding dirty than a M.F. er'day--> yet only NY rappers get pulled over... and caught holding.

@ Boss Up: kinda doubt it, homie. I don't know WTF a "gravity" knife is, but a publicity stunt that violates your parole ain't the smartest ad campaign!

there is really no legal size knife you can carry in ny unless you carry a tiny toy like knife your gonna get arrested i was told by po-po that a swiss army knife isnt legal plus saigon is a repeat felon so they gonna magnify every thing brotherman do, if you havent notice not only hip hoppers but new york is underseize you cant walk down your own block w/out lookin suspicous they got cameras on all the buildings they got the jump out boys jumpin out on any and everyone crossin the street agianst the light is also a crime that just let u kno that u can get arrested for just about anything

re: Rapper Saigon Arrested; Charged With Carrying A Weapon
