Unlicensed Pharmisists

[gregintenn]

I have no knowledge or experience in the world of illicit drugs, but I can show you at least a half a dozen places about thee county here where one can aquire various drugs, and I'm sure there are many, many more. These people have made a living doing this for years and years. If this is common knowledge, can anyone shed some light on the reason why law enforcement never does anything about them? I have my ideas, but I'd like to hear some other objective thoughts.

Not enough information.

You have to be licensed to dispense drugs. If they aren’t one call to local LE should end it, if it doesn’t a call to the DEA or TBI will.

WHat I'm getting at is that if I know where the drug dealers are, wouldn't you think the police should know as well?

I have spoke to a few LE in my area and they know who the dealers are but say they are gathering evidence. My brother is a heavy drug user and when he had his last run it with local LE the LE asked me where he was getting his drugs. I said I wasn't sure then they mentioned a dealer by name and also mentioned what drugs he is selling but then they said they didn't have enough evidence to prosecute him. I am not really sure why they don't but who knows.

Well they should; but they may not. They need evidence to get a warrant for homes. Taking them down in cars is much easier and faster.

You don’t seem to be shy; call your Sherriff and ask him. Otherwise we all just be guessing and this will deteriorate real fast.

In LE investigations, evidence is king. At my work we sell sudafed, guess who buys more of it than anyone else? Tweakers. Even though us and the MPD know what they are doing, they can't do anything about it without evidence. Which is why we keep electronic logs.

THIS. They may not know. Even if they do, a complaint from a citizen can add justification to issue a warrant (just speculating). If I see that kind of activity, I'm calling it in. If nothing gets done, I'll take it to a higher power. There was a bust in my neighborhood several years ago. The guys had TBI on their vests.
