My thoughts on the amount of time and money spent on policing and prosecuting drug related crimes is well established in the last bust thread so obviously I agree with all of you, however, I wonder if we might be reading this wrong...
'During the operation, officers obtained 34.6 grams of marijuana, 14.4 grams of crack cocaine, 3.5 grams of powder cocaine and 2.1 grams of methamphetamine.'
Might this mean the officers bought or somehow obtained those amounts through the operation, and those weren't the amounts seized overall?
It would change the story anyway, even this seems a bit too ridiculous to believe.
If the initial take here IS what truly happened, this is almost something you'd wanna write the city about. But maybe we're not reading this correctly.
I'm not even sure how you'd get 190 charges from those small amounts.
