Title: Any LEAP Members around here? If so... say hello!
Post by: foxen624 on July 02, 2013, 09:29 am
Most of my life, I didn't think that ANY branch of or associated with LE could be anything but trouble.  But this particular group - in case anyone hasn't heard of them..  "Law Enforcement Against Prohibition".  I heard of them a while back, did some research on them and their organization and as far fetched as it may seem, these guys are actually on our side.  Granted, most of them are retired as far as I could tell, but they are a global group of ex cops, judges, etc...  who know how harmful is the WOD and are fighting hard to end it and want to legalize (not just decriminalize) all drugs.  I bet many would welcome the wealth of info and advice they probably have to offer.... or not.  But either way, if they are here along with their not so like-minded counter parts, they can see this post as well as all the other posts on this forum, and if they're not, they can't.. so, no harm done then by making this post...
  They've got a website on the *clearnet*  http://www.leap.cc/

Just something I remembered what with all the threads on here about infestations of LE....

you know I've wondered how many cops come here as "real customers" and considered asking in the forums but I figured it would turn into a shit show of epic proportions. 

Plus why buy here when you can just rob anyone you want and then tell them you're doing them a favor by not arresting them... lol  and there is always the evidence room.

LEAP is a good thing. Of course they won't be taken serious.  Prisons are private business whose only goal is to put as many inmates as possible into the smallest possible space so no moral, logical, or health based arguments will ever work.

  me neither!!  Well I trust them to be ignorant small minded thugs who break more laws than the majority of us.  Anyone know if the often repeated statement that LEO's have the highest rate of Domestic abuse of any occupation?  It would not surprise me at all as the job attracts the worst element of humanity, well other than CO's

I know EXACTLY what you mean... and I had my doubts about making this post as I can't think of any group of people I trust less than cops... and well, I guess that includes snitches >:( ...   Anyway, even though it took me quite a while, I have come to believe that the "LEAP" ones are truly dedicated to ending the drug war... whether they succeed unfortunately is probably not gonna happen any time soon. :-\   That said, I'd still not for one second trust them on any other matters as a general rule.  But I'd much appreciate the opportunity to take a minute to explain why I decided to make this very strange sounding post...

See, I had recently seen and read the post titled something like, "Notes from a postal worker" in the newbie section.  I [and I noticed that many others seemed to also] find it to be a wealth of useful info for both buyers and sellers from someone who actually knows what goes on with the letters and packages that go through the postal service...  what kinds of things draw more attention to your item, what draws more, etc....  and other things that I at least had not even thought about or seen in other threads about shipping mentioned.

And it was with that freshly in my mind, as well as another post that I'd read around the same time... well several people started threads based on the same clearnet article from bitcointalk about an unfortunate incident of dea having seized someone's bitcoin wallet and in the comments someone had discovered that the person in fact had a sellers account here on SR listed as a stealth account.   About everyone by now, I'm pretty sure is at least somewhat familiar with both the posts I just mentioned.  Just as I don't think there are many here who don't at least suspect that LE in various branches probably are and have been here for quite a while...  the kind we DON'T want to be saying "hi" to....  EVER!  Still, when several someone's brought to light the fact that the dea had managed to seize a BTC wallet, led to much speculation about how that could have happened, and of course, the last thing we need is other LE/dea types figuring out ways to fuck with any more S Roaders.

So, at the risk of getting a bunch of hostile replies (thanks so far I've not) :) , I decided to post what I did because just as with the postal worker giving info from the inside to help us be safer and have some sort of foundation to work with rather than mainly speculation, common sense and trial and error...   I figured that who better to advise us about what to do and not do, etc... to avoid everything from harassment to possible imprisonment by LE, than from one who was once one of them so knows (not guesses) how they go about their evil business of fucking up lives of buyers and sellers of drugs.... yet is no longer part of that harassment and is actively interested in working to legalize drugs...  even if their efforts fall short on accomplishing their final goal... I don't see why they would not want to offer what advice and knowledge they have to help us stay safer in the meantime.  And like I mentioned in the OP, I didn't send an invite from clearnet or anything ridiculous like that..   just mentioned something to the effect that they wouldn't see the post if they weren't here already anyway... 

Anyway, I realize I'm not the most articulate person, but I wanted to do my best to share some of my reasoning behind starting this thread...  maybe you agree, maybe you don't.  But at least I wanted anyone who reads this to at least know where I was / am coming from..

Thanks for reading.... :)
