I remember that happening to me on a very very old laptop. It's because of the Intel drivers, which haven't been updated since forever on Windows so they don't support modern versions of opengl like the one Minecraft uses. But since the driver is mainlined on Linux, it's up to date.
>But a police officer can stop your car _right now_ if your passenger-side taillight is broken and then search your vehicle for a variety of things. So many marijuana related arrests have happened exactly this way.
Sounds like the arrest happened because of the marihuana, and not because of the broken taillight. How about not having drugs in your car, though.
