Cops arrested 312 people for openly smoking pot during the Millennium Marijuana March in lower Manhattan yesterday, locking up nearly one-third of the demonstrators. Many of the arrests were made in Battery Park, where the march turned into a rally with bands and speakers, and where marijuana smokers were easy prey for plainclothes police dressed in tank tops and T-shirts. "They went through very quietly, scooping people up, busting people here and there," said Jenny Hurwitz, 48, a graduate student from Manhattan. After witnessing four men get discreetly handcuffed and led away, Hurwitz passed a note to a singer who was performing on stage that he read to the crowd, warning people about the arrests and to "be careful." "It's totally outrageous," said her husband, Talbot Katz, 44, a computer programmer. "Years ago you could light up right in front of a cop and they would do nothing. That was pre-Giuliani." But police said the arrests, while up from the 100 or so made last year, were not part of the recent marijuana crackdown. "Every year they march and every year we make collars," said Lt. Cory Cuneo, a police spokesman. By police accounts, the event attracted 1,000 people at its peak, but organizers say the figure was in the thousands. Along the route, noisy demonstrators called for the decriminalization of the drug and an end to stepped-up pot busts by the NYPD. Carrying signs that read "Treatment, not punishment," and "Legalize don't criminalize," the protesters moved under police escort along a line of march that stretched on lower Broadway from Houston St. to Battery Park. Protest leader Dana Beal, a veteran activist, said the harsh tactics used by the police in Operation Condor have attracted many to the cause of decriminalization. The buy-and-bust operation was linked to the death of an unarmed man, Patrick Dorismond, March 16. "We're having a lot more impact, and that's directly because of Giuliani," said Beal, founder of Cures Not Wars, which advocates marijuana's medicinal qualities. "They shot all these people and said it was all right, because they had drugs in their system." One prominent marcher, Norman Siegel, the executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union, said the Dorismond case has raised questions about whether cops should make arrests for possession of small quantities of marijuana. "The war on drugs has not worked, and we need in this country to look at the decriminalization of drugs, or at least marijuana," Siegel said at Battery Park. Demonstrators stopped briefly at City Hall to heckle the mayor's office. "We want to smoke weed. That's what we want to do," said Stephanie Rodriguez, 19, of the Bronx.

The tough sentence meted out to Sam Waksal could be an ominous sign for his friend Martha Stewart in her coming battle with federal prosecutors, some legal experts said. Lawyers said the Waksal sentencing shows judges won't hesitate to come down hard on white-collar criminals - a sea change that doesn't bode well for the indicted domestic diva. "We're in the middle of a CEO crime wave, and this shows judges are more than willing to throw the book at corporate criminals," said securities lawyer David Marder. "She can certainly expect a lengthy jail term if she is found guilty." Legal experts were quick to caution that Waksal's case has no direct impact on Stewart's trial, where he is not expected to testify. But many observers said Waksal's 87-month sentence is a clear warning to Stewart, who has vowed to go to trial. "I think Martha will go to jail," said Ed Hayes, a lawyer and Court TV analyst. "She better win, and win big," said James Cox, a Duke University law professor. "When you lose at trial, you get a lot more than seven years." Well before she was indicted on charges of lying to federal agents, conspiracy, obstruction of justice and securities fraud, Stewart conducted a relentless public relations campaign to save her image. Many legal eagles said her problem is that she talks too much - she should never have gabbed to the feds and is buying herself more grief by continuing her PR blitz. "Had she kept her mouth shut, she wouldn't be in this mess," criminal defense lawyer Marvyn Kornberg said. Stewart's new Web site, www.marthatalks.com, is updated daily with letters from supporters and tidbits from her defense team. The site's "Setting the Record Straight" section refuted yesterday what it called "media errors" about the cases, including claims that Stewart was charged with insider trading or perjury. But some lawyers noted that Team Martha may have inadvertently admitted a crime by acknowledging she "temporarily" altered a phone log - a prime example of why they said she should do her talking in court, not on the Internet. "I think what she's doing is stupid," said Hayes, who noted the conviction rate in New York Federal Court is 97%. Not everyone thinks Stewart is wrong to come out swinging. Some said she could wind up exposing a weak government case. "I give her credit for fighting back," said Alan Vinegrad, a former Brooklyn federal prosecutor. "She has every right to defend herself vigorously."

Haitian residents of the 70th Precinct yesterday cited the beating of Abner Louima as part of a pattern of alleged police abuse in the Brooklyn neighborhood."For once, we are getting a little bit of justice for being treated like dogs," said Monique Richardson, 42, a Haitian immigrant who has lived in New York 2 0 years. Tensions between Haitian immigrants and police in the Flatbush neighborhood have simmered for years, occasionally boiling into full-scale fights, residents said."They've yelled at me, they've kicked me, they've called me n----r," said Simbala Jauwar, 38, a native of Gambia. Earlier this month, police clashed with mourners at a funeral for a livery cab driver on Flatbush Ave. when a parking ticket dispute escalated into a violent clash in which two people were arrested. Over the past two years, demonstrators have protested two separate incidents in which police officers in Flatbush shot unarmed black suspects dead. "They treat Haitians like aliens from another planet," said King Kino, 34, lead singer of Phantom, the band that played at Club Rendez-Vous on the night of Louima's arrest. "It's a gang in blue." Community leaders echoed the same complaints. "The Caribbean community as a whole has experienced many problems with the police," said Ronald Auberg, a policy analyst for the Haitian Centers Council. "There seems to be no accountability in the Police Department." But some residents suggested clashes were the result of police success in a tough neighborhood. "I don't know if police brutality is an issue," said Terry Rodie, district manager of Community Board 14, which includes the 70th Precinct. "We've been fortunate to have the crime rate go down with the rest of the city." In the wake of last week's incident, New York's Haitian leaders urged immigrants to join two demonstrations in the coming weeks. Tomorrow, a 1 p.m. protest march is scheduled to proceed from Club Rendez-Vous, where Louima was arrested, to the 70th Precinct stationhouse on Lawrence Ave., where he was allegedly beaten. And Louima's relatives announced a march for Aug. 29 that will take protesters from Grand Army Plaza in Brooklyn to Police Headquarters in Manhattan. "Everybody is furious," said Samuel Nicolas, a cousin of Louima's and a pastor at his church. "Haitian, Jamaican, Trinidad leadersthe whole African-American community is up in arms." "This will not disappear, I guarantee," said Ray Laforest, director of the U.S. Haitian Constituency. Pierre Beaux, a 37-year-old livery cab driver, was one who vowed to fight on Louima's behalf. He described police brutality as "a part of life" in his nativ e Haiti. "But we're not in Haiti," Beaux said angrily. "I have a vote here, and I have rights, and I'll be stone-cold dead before I'll let anyone take them away. This is what this horrible thing has taught us."
