“It would take months to gather enough ground data before they could even make their first hit successfully.”
For some reason I’m thinking that you might have a slight difficulty infiltrating a New Orleans street gang. But, I do wish you luck in your endeavor. However, unless you want to vacation at Angola State Prison for the next 99 years, I would advise against a “hit.”
Funny you mention Angola. I had a blood hound from Angola Prison. Best tracker I ever had on a trail. Never made a sound on trail. Quiet as a mouse. Until he had the perp in his mouth.
That is how the game is played.
