Hiding Drugs Okay

If you're a drug dealer, today is a good day for you. The North Carolina court of appeals has ruled that it's okay to hide drugs under your balls because police aren't allowed to search for drugs there, even if you're a convicted drug dealer in a known drug area acting nervous because you're dealing and carrying drugs.

Yes, the court actually ruled it was unreasonable to look down a man's pants for drugs, even when that man has given consent to a search and has numerous prior convictions for dealing drugs (and yet is still on the street).

I think this also illustrates the complete and utter failure of the war on drugs. How many thousands of taxpayer dollars were spent on this case? How much money was spent by the taxpayer on police salaries, court costs, jail costs, and public defender costs on this ONE case, which has now been ruled completely useless? But don't worry -- the case might be appealed, in which case we can spend even MORE taxpayer money on this case!

Folks, we've lost the war. It's time to surrender. The war on drugs is a waste of time and money. If people want to kill themselves with drugs, GOVERNMENT has no role in stopping them. If people do other illegal things while under the influence of drugs, certainly, punish them. Otherwise, stop wasting my time and money!

3 I agree, let the druggies kill themselves. In fact help them along by putting deadly poison in every shipment of drugs found and send it along. People like to complain about drug dealers but the fact is if there were no users there would be no dealers. Most of those dying of street drugs are worthless anyway.

4 "if there were no users there would be no dealers"

Excellent point, Scrapiron. Excellent point.

5 I was going to add a crack comment, but decided against it.

Knowing where these drugs are coming from now is enough to make anyone quit.

Sounds like the war on drugs is getting desperate.
