And besides, the point is not the actual number of incarcerations but the fact that cops can find a legal excuse to arrest anyone they want, unless that someone is wealthy and can afford competent defense lawyer. That is why the number of incarcerations is discounted as evidence that US is a Potemkin village democracy - in the name only. After all, all those incarcerations are for "criminal" offenses rather than repressive measures.
