It is legitimate to question the vision of a future in America when all the controls are removed from drugs like crack cocaine, and methamphetamine. We had such an America once. The WoD is a 20th Century 'innovation'. So I suppose that America prior to the WoD was a total disaster zone, right?
It is legitimate to question the vision of a present where the authorities openly flout the law.

I get it. Informants are only used in drug cases. Legalize drugs, and the magical temptations of petty cash and illicit opportunities for corrupt cops vanish into thin air.
I now see why you're against the WOD. You're on crack. I've stated before that I am against the current state of affairs regarding drug enforcement tactics and ambivalent on legalization. But this story is completely irrelevant to the debate.

Apparently you want a society that is sideways in the gutter stoned out of their minds!
Won't be any room
The drunks have all the space

No, you quite clearly don't get it: no other type of activity falling under criminal code offers either the vast amounts of money or the innumerable opportunities for informing that the drug trade does. Murder doesn't even come close. I understand you are incapable of proportional reasoning, but I do hope this spells it out for you.
I now see why you're against the WOD. You're on crack.
I see why you lack the mental facilities for logical discourse: you assume facts not in evidence, and are forced to backpedal and make excuses when confronted with reality.
Up your dosage. Quickly.

Name any other law that allows cops to have opportunities to take cash and property from people in this manner. There are none. The crime is also the evidence. That for starters stands law on its head. When the evidence is the crime, you need not prove any crime. Its the easiest opportunity for corruption.

Well, you win. I can't beat brilliant arguments like that.

Overly defensive today, are we? There's really no need. But then, you pro-drug types do take a lot of abuse in defense of your cause.

Are you always in the habit of condemning an entire branch of people because of the miniscule number of bad apples?
Your extremism has run amok.

A society with honest frigging cops would be better.And what makes you think that you don't have such a society now or are you just another member of the extremist choir of Chicken Littles, running around declaring the end of the world has come?

And if you think the number is 'miniscule' in regards to police corruption vis a vis the WOD, you are sadly mistaken.

It's all semantics; like saying pro-choice instead of pro-abortion.

The WoD allows a miniscule number of bad apples to do a great deal of damage. At least consider the number false prosecutions; the number of convictions that will be tossed out just on account of these two officers, and the considerable taxpayer dollars thus flushed down the crapper.

I am not 'pro-drug' in any sense, and exhort people not to use them in the first place, alcohol included. I am, however, vehemently against the authoritarian legal codes that currently dictate the WOD.
If you can't see the difference, I can't help you.

We had such an America once. But then came those whose drug-infested lifestyles began to adversely affect the wholesome lifestyles of most. When that happened, laws came in to protect society from those nitwits.
Don't blame the WOD, blame those who ruined a good thing because of their inability to be responsible.

How is this related to the War on Drugs? If the cops in question worked in homicideBut you don't hear stories like this about homicide cops, do you? What does it say about the War On Some Drugs that it attracts the dregs of law enforcement?
