".....released on strict conditions."

I always wonder if a criminal give a $hit about conditions. This guy sounds pretty independant to me. Anyone NOT think he was ready for this day?

hmmm...sounds like a good trade to get in to. Good profits, no taxes, maybe he is going along with Campbell and company to China or maybe with Kinsley to Paris to sell the idea. Good returns and no time.

".....released on strict conditions."

Do not steal, do not sell drugs, do not possess replica hand guns, and be a good boy.

That'll learn him.

;-)

Shakes your confidence in our so called "justice" system?
A drug pusher and a thief will be hard pressed to get back up to steam with his business ventures while "strict" conditions are in force.
Oh well, he must have had an accomplice who will take over. I assume one does not steal furniture and big screens without assistance.
Seems pushing drugs would be an easier method to make a buck.
Could it be our justice system borders "corrupt?"
Just a thought!

I would assume that this fellow takes in goods in exchange for drugs as well as money rather than stealing them himself.

He must have a reliable place to get rid of them. In fact, if he is a good businessman (although he may have ticked someone off who then fingered him) he will not only get money to cover the drugs, but also his value added compensation for storage and re-selling time ....

;-)

We need more accountability for the enforcement agencies. Just who do they answer to?

If you or I were to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, we would be hauled away in handcuffs, fingerprinted and locked up for a week.

What's with this released crap? Time for a change folks. RCMP, Judges, Lawyers or whoever is responsible for this type of loosy goosy type of justice. They must be released, replaced or reformed. Chester

Holy Cow, owl, don't you think neighbors would get a little suspicious when big screens and furniture gets packed in to be exchanged for drugs. I realize it could occur with jewellry, some tools, and leather jackets.
Wonder if the pusher can get his supplier to take the goods on trade also??
Now we surely have a real "ring."
Your suggestion is just "too" much.
Just wonder how the guy talked his way out of the cop shop?
That is what arouses my suspicions.
Maybe going to help tag some "bigger fish?"

"Holy Cow, owl, don't you think neighbors would get a little suspicious when big screens and furniture gets packed in to be exchanged for drugs"

Funny should should bring that up trusted.

We have neighbours who bring furniture in and out. Pick-up trucks pull in, deposit furniture, move out, come back in a few weeks later, take some furniture out, and so one. Sometimes there are no cars parked there for a month or two, then one, then two or three, then dogs move in, then they move out, then small kids come and play in the yard, then none for months on end, and on and on.

Should I call the police? City By-law enforcement? Do I knock on the door and ask what is going on? Is it suspicious? It is a rental house. People who oen it may have several furnished and be moving furniture around as other rental properties have need for more or less furniture. Who knows?

On the other hand, another neighbour is typically active late at night, driving a van into his garage and closing the door. How do I know what he has in the van? Am I supposed to get suspicious about that also? Am I not doing my civic duty by calling the RCMP to tell them that I want my neighbour to park his van outside so that I can make sure that I know he is not carrying contraband in it under the cover of late night and an enclosed vehicle and a closed garage?

BTW, does anyone know where Purmal Ave is? It is not listed as a street in the city on the city map page on the PG web site map.

owl,

try a Quesnel map..............

That should do it Marty .... *LOL* .... a blonde moment even in my graying years .....

Again, a great exercise in real police work.
The working man gets to go to work and not have to worry about his house, and the thief gets the shakedown.
