Police argue that the presence of controlled substances shows that individuals who use or sell narcotics touched the tested area and is evidence of drug dealing in the residence.

so will this work on a vehicle? if so *I* say we should see how many cops are "dealing drugs" out of their patrol cars.

You touch on another topic--police or law enforcement officers in the drug trade, either overtly or by bribery.

The ex-Sheriff of Cameron County Texas was just sentenced for being involved in the drug trade. Unfortunately, this is not unusual, at least in Texas.

I began collecting stories about LEOs in the drug trade some years ago in prep for a book that was never developed. It wasn't long before I had notes on guilty LEOs in all 254 counties in Texas. There was no interest in the project from editors because the facts were so commonplace as to not raise any eyebrows.

Rememember this commonplace saying: Narks always have the best dope. (implying they can take their pick from confiscated stashes)
