Here's an article on how this goes down in Oxford. Fairly long, but worth the read if you have time to kill.

I've known of people who were involved in this, or the narcos tried to get them to do it and they refused only to end up on probation and paying a fine. It's pretty disgusting how they use a never ending chain of naive kids to have a perpetual ring of informants who more than half of are small time weed users. This is all to fund a 4 dude operation, and has ruined, or severely hampered, hundreds of lives.

I was not familiar with this. I would like to say I am shocked...but this is small town MS. I have really never had a positive interaction with any cop in Oxford or Starkville.

"I'd like my lawyer". Best phrase ever when talking to the cops. Say nothing, and wait for your lawyer. That should be lesson 1 in college.

Damn that is some fricked up shite.

More reasons that weed should be legal. The amounts described in that article are nothing. Absolutely ridiculous.

A typical deal that gets offered: Make 20 undercover buys, two buys each from 10 dealers, and it all goes away. Those arrests lead to more informants and so on.


That's not typical. At. All.

quote:

“[I]f a white boy in a polo shirt comes over to your house to try to buy drugs, you make them pull up their shirt,” said one Ole Miss student who requested anonymity because of his involvement in the drug scene.



Lol.... Dumbass


quote:

Then he would get wired up, always following the same routine: He met the agents in an office inside the brick federal building on Oxford Square. An agent taped a microphone to his chest then gave him a polo shirt. The agent had pulled the shirt off of a rack filled with perhaps a dozen other polo shirts in many different colors. Inside each shirt, a thin wire ran up the front and into a button at the collar, where it was attached to a camera. The camera was nearly invisible, and even if you looked closely all you’d see was a thin black loose thread hanging out of the button. Another agent gave him something that looked like a lunchbox, the kind with soft, insulating sidings. There was a camera inside that box and it peeked out of a hole on the side. Andy was to place the box on his dashboard. Once the equipment was set, Andy called the dealer to confirm the deal.


Even MS has better tech than that.

quote:

Lee mentioned that he’d started selling crack.



Lol.






This article reeks of bullshite. From both sides.

I'm so glad pot is decriminalized in MS now.

When I retire it's on.


NOBODY should narc though. I have no sympathy for someone who sells someone else up the river for their own mistakes.

Unfortunately, OPD and the Lafayette County Sheriff's Dept. have the reputation of being dirty, crooked units.

In my opinion, the means don't justify the ends. Three grams of weed does not equal twenty stings, twenty buys, etc.

The level of danger presented in each controlled buy is far greater than that presented by the marijuana itself. The two are not balanced, and balance must exist, especially in the criminal sphere.

It's total horse manure but the university using money it receives for tuition to fund it makes me the most angry

They are literally using their student's or their student's families' money to put them in danger on top of lying to them and cause much distress

And I love how RG mitigates this all with, "well you should have more common sense than to buy weed from a wealthy area"

I'm guessing soon him and his fellow Revenue Collectors will be saying "well you should've known better than to speak out against Government Official John Doe, you knew it would lead to us raiding your house at 4 AM on some trumped up bullshite"

Who GAF about rights anyways

Enjoy your $35k a year you fat frick
