Which one of the guys in the photo is the perp? Hard to tell. It looks like the one on the far left has already helped himself to the winnings. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsetBkk Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Note to drug pushers: Try not to ride around at 4:30am with your stash. Much better to do it at rush hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newermonkey Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I have a great idea!!! When they catch drug dealers they should be taken to the police station and force fed the entire load, no matter how much, so someone carrying 1,000 yabba tablets will be forced to consume or smoke the 1,000. If someone is caught with a kilo of heroin the entire kilo must be taken. Then the more drugs the more the consequences "whatever that may be" What do people think about this idea? I think is quire fair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkk_mike Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 By the time police are searching stuff taped to the guy's foot, he either had so much stuff taped there that he couldn't stand properly, or someone told them what to look for... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phronesis Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Poor lad was too stoned to go to Supercheap and buy two corks and three feet of clear plastic hose. The cops would never have checked the gas tank on his Scoopy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the subject dies from overdose, the other stuff wasn't on the table, b/c he took all, he had! resale would even be easier. No evidence report to fake, to evidence proof to fear, no dealer, who complains Edited January 4, 2013 by noob7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbrain Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Why he taped it to his feet? He could have easily hidden a few kg behind his ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
