The "Bust of the year" for Harris County turns out to be kitty litter.

Not exactly DNM related but I hope some of you will get a laugh out of this story like I did.

Kinda concerning how the cops claimed the field test came up positive for meth twice.

Edit:

Here's a better link.

They show 'the sock in question' in the video in the second link and they also show it redistributed in an evidence bag for effect. It is quite OBVIOUSLY the crystal cat litter that has mostly clear crystals and a few blue strewn in for odor control. I call bullshit on the field tests being positive. Lies Lies Lies. Cops LIE. Even if it LOOKS like meth (which to me it doesn't) the cops must not have olfactory receptors in their pea sized brains either. Cat litter is so heavily perfumed! Shit like this just pisses me off. No hate to the OP. What do the kids say these day? 'TRIGGERED'

“Ultimately it might be bad testing equipment they need to re-evaluate,”

Lmao. Those cops are just pure rotten trash. Not being sued doesn't make hell a single degree colder for those scums.

I remember seeing a meth synth video where they used some ingredient extracted from cat litter. This was like 8 years ago and I couldn't tell if it was satire or not, I still don't know.

Oh wow, American cops really are idiots. I would spend my last penny on suing these pigs. If a viral video can do serious damage, imagine what false accusations about meth dealing could do!

I saw this posted somewhere elce the other day, fucking bullshit.

Reminds me of when my vape juice tested positive for benzos lol. Had to wait for the lab to say it was fucking nicotine not Xanax.

Because the field tests have been proven to not work reliably, but they are still a reliable form of evidence. That's a travesty.

Many types of candy show a positive result. Along with cleaners, fabrics, foods...

It's significantly less reliable than the polygraph...which is no longer admissible as evidence. But the war on drugs test kits still are.

It's almost like there's a conspiracy to convict people of drug offenses, regardless of real evidence. But no... that's just "crazy thinking..."

Does anyone know if this works to stop your windows from fogging up?

The cops must have been celebrating after the bust. I wish I could see their faces when the report came back negative.
