Where during the years of prohibition, there were no high tech capabilities to enforce the law. Now we have so many tools in the box, we could pull these druggies out by the roots.

Electronic surveillance with the use of drones over their neighborhoods, cell phone monitoring, on street wireless cameras, tracking the drugs through chemical footprints from their source to their destination, network construction software that map the entire network, the planting of micro bugs in suspect vehicles, the tracking of ammunition sales with surveillance from point of sales to final destination and the monitoring of selected kingpin vectors for the purpose of tracking down the entire network. Of course, the above techniques would never be revealed to protect the method of detection. Then, the quick crackdown, including the politicians, until all is pulled out by its roots.
