I think most people don't realize that all you have to do is ask if the person on the other end is a cop and they HAVE to tell you. It's entrapment if they don't.

My brother-in-law is an undercover cop... and to give you an idea of how much they actually care about the typical 5 and dime smoker, he comes over the house all the time and I leave my bowl out. The last time he came over, my bong was sitting right on my computer desk. He doesn't give a shit, and neither does anybody else. He would just as soon light up with me (if he could) as bust me for something.

He has been on UC duty downtown Nashville to bust prostitution. His partner (a female) goes UC as a call girl and they nab people that come up to her on the street. If the people needing a trick ask her if she's a cop before they say anything else (and the smart ones know to do that) she HAS to tell them. They walk away and she waits for the next mark. It's as simple as that. Cops can't take any action with a person that asks them if they are law enforcement first and when they say "yes" they move on...

Honestly, it pisses me off that articles like this even exist. All they do is promote more paranoia among the community and force people to go without herb.

In the end, nobody gives a shit about the guy looking to buy an 1/8th of weed or the guy selling it to them. They are there to get rid of the people that have 10 plants growing in their basement.

Honestly, the people on message forums such as this one that post photos of their grow are in a lot more danger than the dime dealer looking to unload less than an ounce of weed.
