This is really the most amazing thing about the Internet. Footage can be shared from any source at any time and you just never know what is out there. What I find interesting is that it is Black and White. Colour TV had been around for years by then. Some stations just were not up to date I guess.
I didn't think any video evidence of Mr. Bowie's pot bust existed! The only proof of it I had ever seen was his gorgeous mugshot (all Bowie fans need to see that mugshot!). Thanks for posting! :)
No, I got the silent 16mm film from the television station back in 1976 and just had it transferred to digital. I had the audio taped on audio tape from the tv broadcasts at the time.
Marihuana, OMG! I take it in infusion when i have really bad back pain. Poor David, what really affected his health were the cigarettes. (heart attack in 2004) Thank good he quit it in 2003. Thanks for posting this original video.
Back in those days New York State had the VERY strict Nelson Rockefeller drug laws. Rocky was a liberal Republican. His drug policies were a way to solidify his support with the more conservative upstate NY Republicans who weren't so keen on his taxing and spending. These laws were later toned down under Hugh Carey and/or Mario Cuomo's admins.
+annamorphic : It's wasn't about the weed. I went to the police station (had a cousin in the department) and asked why they busted David Bowie. "We don't want like his type around here. Besides, do you know that he likes black women?" Yeah, the 70's were still a different time period and Bowie saying he was bi-sexual was nearly earth shaking to folks in the states at the time. Yep, it really used to be THAT openly bigoted, still after the 60's civil war movement. Especially concerning anything other than hetero sexuality between two of the same race. People were not openly gay and mixed race couples were rare and prone to be gawked at.
Thebe Bashaleebee hehe well guess they couldn't get him on blow eh that so funnythe proverbial do onto others as....always readily applies. May he rest in peace ✌
Yes here’s footage of him talking, always the gentleman, the reporters were trying to get him to say something against the police lol, but he wouldn’t ua-cam.com/video/5ePnni_-VWI/v-deo.html
He’s handsome but he had his teeth fixed they were crooked if you notice when he met Iman. Because she was a supermodel he figured he’d be filmed even more which turned out to be true he straighten his life up he said on an interview in the later years of his life 20 years prior to that he gave up alcohol and drugs he admitted being out of his mind in Germany many times with drugs. I love Zoe he is very missed I’m just glad he had a good life in the end beautiful wife and daughter and his son he was very happy
When you think about David Bowie and you hear drug charge, pot is not what you expect.
Guys it’s David Bowie
Word up.

Luce " Divine" el arresto no hizo mella en él. Bello y esplendoroso, perfecto como el día. Así era Bowie.
Forty five years later it's legal in New York. Sorry Dave.
Yes you are spot on. I thought as I was watching it something was wrong. I kept watching the his right eye (left as viewer) That was it.
he has two different color eyes
Exactly! It's reversed. Still, he looks just as great talking to reporters about a drug charge as he does on an album cover. :-)
three associates....one if the DOGFATHER of punk.
I love marrowroot
I can't :'(
I wanna hear him speaking, not the bloody newsreader stumbling on the word marijuana
Eugenio Montesano here you go, always the gentleman ua-cam.com/video/5ePnni_-VWI/v-deo.html

Police must have missed the stash of stimulants, opiates and category A hallucinogens. Bowie was smart.
