Nothing like setting yourself up to get caught.
That takes some real logic...
I have warrants so I will speed!
and maybe they will catch me.....

Drug addicts get busted. High level drug dealers get rich and are protected. We really do not have a clue what we are doing do we?

Vehicle impounded fer ninety days? Maybe the loser can ask fer a jump start for his car with their tazer when he gets it back. Cops decision. Him or the car. Maybe if the guy is really stupid, the cops can ask him to hold onto the battery terminals while being tasered.

Even the police can enjoy a gift once in a while... the guy involved in this really set himself up good. Maybe they can get some leads and do some real work to crack down on those that supply and traffic hard drugs.

So the RCMP did their job on this one. Let's give our judges and lawyers the encouragement to do the right thing and deal with this problem. We all have to work together to get the bad guys out of circulation. Chester
