If drug deals go down in your street, do you think it's best to say nothing?

Where drugs are dealt, hookers are hooking, muggers are mugging, and gangs are ganging.\n\nBetter to say something.

No. Not unless some drug salesperson gives him/her a kickback. But that's not typical... it's done under the table and it isn't ethical.

If it can be disclosed to the public then it can be talked about.  Even if it isn't "public information" there are many reasons why they would talk about case information with people that are not law enforcement.  You talk about being in school, are you even 18?  If you are not then I don't think you will be taking any officers to court.

Okay, this is not something I would say to someone I don't know at all but when a guy forgets to zip up I say, "do you have a license to sell hot dogs?"  It should only be a little embarassing but for some reason it's usually taken as dirty.

Could go either way...It will be interesting to find out.  The law would just make it legal to possess "small" amounts so dealers would still be prosecuted...I think the point was so they could focus their attention on the dealers.  Like, aiming higher on the food chain.  I think if it affects drugs crossing the border, the only difference would be in very small amounts...just the idiots that have it on them for "personal use".

If I found a pill, I would wojnder what it was, then I would throw it away.\n\nIf someone tells you what they think it is: what are you going to do?\nTake it???\n\nI just wouldn't do that. I wouldn't take medication according to what some random stranger thought it was.\n\nDo yourself a favour and bin it.

Their criminals and in what they do, you should assume they are dangerous.\n\nTo me, it's worth the risk to get them away from my kids and their friends. Drugs kill kids in more ways than one. Crime activity also drops the value of your home.\n\nYou should be safe in making anonymous calls to report this person. You should never approach on your own.\n\nIn short, you bet they can kill. That's why you don't want them there anymore.

An interesting question.  \n\nTalk shows find them because:\n\nA) It's not illegal to go on TV and admit to being a drug dealer.  Can't be arrested for it, can't be prosecuted for it, and certainly won't go to jail for it.  Plus..there's a bonus: you get paid for it.\n\nB) People who want to enjoy the benefits of the above might well claim to be a drug dealer when in fact they aren't currently dealing, or never did.  How many talk shows have been exposed in the past for questionable guests?\n\nC) As the other poster said, it's not like they're hard to find.  And once they've been found, there's really no reason for them to deny being a dealer to some talk show producer or staffer...it's not like the producer or staffer is going to arrest them, is it?\n\nD) Probably more, but it's silly to continue.  \n\nWhy can't cops find them?\n\n1) They can.  I've been a cop for 19 years now, and I have *never* seen someone in my jurisdiction get arrested for dealing where I didn't already know they were.  So you need to remember that there's a real difference between knowing who they are and where they are, versus being able to develop enough probable cause to arrest them.  Stop and think about all the things you *know* to be true in your heart, yet if you had to prove them true in a court of law, you could not.\n\n2) Drug dealers generally don't do their dealing in front of the police.  At least not in front of people they know or suspect to be the police.  Hard to know if the guy on the corner is a drug dealer, male prostitute, or dentist if all he's doing is standing there.  \n\n3)  Cops generally don't have the same kind of money and resources available to them like talk shows do, to locate drug dealers.  A cop can't walk up to someone on the corner, slip them a twenty, and tell them to point out the closest dealer.  \n\nAnd while it's true that the "big fish" are more attractive targets perhaps, nobody should assume that the police have no interest in street-level dealers.  It's those idiots who often rat out their suppliers...the bigger dealers and the manufacturers/distributors.  \n\nAnd no, the police can't find "them all" because the minute one dealer is arrested, two more step in to take his place.  Then, because we truly operate the finest justice system in the world, these guys dealing dope to your kids are often out of jail in less than a week.  You'd be a fool to believe that they stop dealing, just because they've been arrested and are waiting trial.

In a small town, a large-scale drug dealer is easier for the police to track down. Plus, without any Internal Affairs branch in so small a town, it's easier for cops to "bend the rules" to make users narc on their dealer. So, individual users have to travel to larger cities to make buys. Sure maybe one person deals to two or three friends, but 99% of the traffic is in the city. And, as has already been mentioned, small towns feel themselves to be above painful reminders that drugs exist, so while there's a comparable number of users per capita, there's less reminder about such things in small towns.

This means that a drug dealer lives in that house.  I dont think people still do this.  You already knew the answer to this question before you asked, didnt you?

Selling drugs is enough trouble by itself. The fact that someone dies for the drugs he sells could lead to murder 2. What you should do, at all times, is to let the law enforcement agencies that you know that someone sells drugs.

Not if you're going to support illegal activities?\n\nWould you go to a drug dealer rally?  What they do is illegal, no?
897569
I wouldn't.  If they were involved in criminal activity, I would just call the cops.  If not, I really don't care.

I think it depends on the crime, and the effect the cheering has. I dont think that if you cheer on a drug dealer while they put him in the car, but you dont cause any property damage and you dont try to impead the arrest and you remain non-violent, that they are gonna charge you with inciteing a riot. If there was no riot you could not have incited it.
