Title: Drugs raid near my house made me pretty anxious and got me thinking...
Post by: Naloxone on May 11, 2013, 07:26 am
When I got home a few nights a go, I delayed this post for a while just out of paranoia, I saw some police vans near my house. A friend told me that it was a drugs bust and I shat myself. I was expecting to get back to see my room trashed and some cops ready to take me away. Fortunately it wasn't me.

It got me thinking though, what sort of value of drugs would you need to have for them to bust you with sniffer dogs and 3 police vans? I tend to only buy enough for myself but the amount I have for myself could probably be enough to get charged for dealing.

I was thinking the cost of the raid, planning etc. the value must have been about $10,000. Am I completely wrong in my thinking? Would they do a bust for a relatively small amount? I'd say my stash would come to $500 at the most.

Sorry if this has been asked before. Nothing like this came up in my searches.

Haven't you ever watched cops? I've seen them do more than that for negros slangin' a couple rocks or for petty weed.

It is very dependent on where you live. You can have more weight in a major city without them going all SWAT on your ass. $500 of drugs is a lot to a police force in the middle of nowhere that usually gets called out for DUIs, domestics and other petty nonsense.

^ This. Depends where you live. If you live in a major city with a crime problem, highly unlikely they would devote precious resources to $500 worth of drugs

You got that right. I got pulled over in Detroit with a lit joint and an open beer. I had dark tint so once he saw I saw while he asked me to put the joint out and drive safely. 8)

They'll bust anyone just to show to their city they're making "progress" ;D

It depends on where you live and if the police department is inundated with other more serious work. If they have a "slow day" they'll bust anyone for anything!

You guys are right in the sense that it is heavily dependent upon where you live. But I'd like to clear up the small town big city thing. It depends on the town and it depends on the city and state period. I operate out of a small town, task force mainly focuses on cocaine and heroin. Everything else is done by chance (traffic stops, domestic disputes, fights etc.). Also, a lot of smaller poor towns (Like the places I deal with) don't generate enough taxes to fund long term drug surveillance operations. Also remember that most drug busts nationwide come about through informants. Yes the police can get wiretaps and shit like that but they have to have the resources for it. Why bother having those resources when so many people are willing to talk and give up all the info they need, and procure the sales for them? Be careful who you fuck with.

I live really close to Detroit in Canada. Michigan has really cooled down on enforcing Marijuana laws.... Permits are very easy to obtain IIRC

Indeed.  I was raised in a place with a pop. of about 70-90,000 and you cannot shake a stick without hittin' one and catching a charge.  Cops, that is. 

Just a routine traffic stop usually involves two cars.  If they find something, or you incriminate yourself..  It could be an upwards of four cop cars at the scene.  They love to make a spectacle of interacting with the public.

Also, to resonate stringer's point about being careful who you fuck with..  As far as I am concerned, most people around here are rats until proven otherwise.  I read local police logs and press releases enough to know that up in here...  There are plenty of pigeons just waiting to sing a song once the oxycodone w/d finally hits.



And that, my friends...  Is why I choose SR as my pharmacy.  Not much in the way of cute technician chicks, but the medicines are good and plenty!

The drug seizure amounts are just for bragging rights, the real motivation is the cash I'm guessing. Anything they find they will tie to the drugs and it's means more cop gear they get to go buy. Like little kids at X-mas when they get the cash.

Thanks for the info guys. I think I'll maybe use up the stuff I've got at the moment before buying much more then. Other than essentials obviously!

Sometimes I don't think I'm paranoid enough. Need to smoke more grass!

Nothing wrong with being paranoid, withing reason, but look at it this way. - Whoever got busted that night, probably wasn't buying from SR. It was 'word of mouth' - dealing brazenly, some kid probably, just feeling like MR Man with his first taste of dealing. My guess age bracket of 19-25.  Word of mouth. Local snitches, as mentioned before, every police dept had their snitches.

It all comes down to this. Who knows about you getting drugs in the mail? - The answer should be NO ONE. Not your wife, girlfriend (especially them), or even your best friend.

This is like finding the Holy Grail. The DeLorean from Back to the Future, the Pot o Gold at the rainbows end,  The worst thing you could ever do, is tell anybody!

Peace man

You'll be fine.
