The Game essentially got off on one of his run ins with the law yesterday. He was in court in New York facing those charges that he impersonated a police officer when, last November, he jumped into a cab and told the driver he was an undercover cop and he could therefore run red lights. But the judge at the New York State Supreme Court gave the hip hopper a conditional discharge, meaning that as long as he stays out of trouble for six months the charges will be dropped and the case closed. After the court hearing the rapper told reporters: "I love New York, but I hate the system. But, I hate every system".
Whether he'll be so lucky when he goes to court in California to face separate charges of allegedly pulling a gun during a basketball game in a school zone remains to be seen. If found guilty of all those charges he could face five years in jail.
