Thought you all might enjoy a Drug War story where can all rally round the "lock 'em up and throw away the key" mentality again.

[ctlpdad]

so they set up a 70 year old hard-of-hearing guy? way lame.

Ping MrLeroy for your WOsD stuff

Should have sold him 10 boxes of tissues to go with it...

"I said, 'It's kind of hard to make meth when you can only get five bottles at a time,'" Morris said.

Morris' witness that he actually made this statement as part of a "sting" that would embarass a Keystone Kop is...?

What's wrong with sending clerks to jail for failing to pay rapt attention to what their customers are saying?

[RonHolzwarth]

I am not a lawyer, but this sure sounds like a case of entrapment to me!

And the clerk is 70 years old? Can't live off of social security, and so he WORKS! Or maybe he works so he is productive,,,

SHIT!!!

I think he is entitled to a LOT of damages from the municipality that the undercover cops work for!!! Like, MILLIONS OF DOLLARS!!! I hope he gets a sharp lawyer and WINS!!! I don't usually say or even think that though.

And, I also think the jury box was STUFFED!!!

I could point out exactly where the COPS SHOULD be looking!!! (where I live, anyway!)

Everyone here knows where most of the drug deals happen!

But, that would be RACIST!!!

[freeeee]

Textbook entrapment, and a new low all in one.

How is this illegal? Just hit ten stores and buy one in each. Lame, brain-dead idiots wrote this law. Still don't believe it even exists.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I feel so much safer now.

[CSM]

I would have never even known this law existed. I worked through college as a clerk in a party store. I would have definitely fallen for this one. This is just another example of how soon we will all be criminals and easier for the JBT's to rule!

"Can I buy 10,000 marbles please?"

Just last night I was at Long's Drugs and asked how much cold medicine I could buy. I have 3 children that get colds a LOT during the winter and I like to stock up so I never run out in the middle of the night.

The clerk didn't know; he said the cash register alerts him when a customer is trying to buy "too many."

I bought $80 worth of medicine last night; 10 big bottles I think.

I'm sorry, I can only sell you one six pack of beer at a time. Anything more than that and you or one of your buddies could get drunk and then get in a car accident and "I'd" be responsible...

If 5 (or 10) boxes containing pseudoephedrine is a "dangerous threat to society" then why not just make it a prescription only medication? Regulating quantity sold is not much different than regulating all sales of pseudoephedrine.

How many ways can you spell E-N-T-R-A-P-M-E-N-T.

He was convicted Wednesday of unlawful sale of precursor substances.

In a related story, the same 70 year old was arrested for "Moping With The Intent To Gawk" shortly after leaving the "Courthouse".
