a friend of mine who's missing a number of packages from overseas just got 'visited' by local leos. he freaked out and gave up his stash (i don't blame him). if they're indeed local leos (i have my doubts), i'm guessing that packages (especially from a'dam and western ca) are getting a close look by feds/customs who then pass the lead to the local leos.

your thoughts sir?
Howdy rippl3,

That 'friend'..was me..I said it that way,because I was warned not to talk about my experience,on-line,by a yet to be identified fed,I'll probably never know who the fed was,the local narcotics task force,came along with the fed,as well as a postal inspector. My stash box was sitting out on the table and they had a pretty good idea what was in it,so I gave it up to them,less than a quarter. I was told,that if I was a good boy,that they might not charge me with it,but they did anyway and I wound up with having to accept the conviction for it..on 4/20/06.

I believe,that after having Customs sieze one package from the nederlands,that I was put on a watch-list,and after having several packages from vancouver,bc,being siezed,and probably illegally searched,that they had enuff..and the fed even said,nuff was enuff and they had to put a stop to me gittin packages in the mail. All of the packages I was gittin,were gifts of compassion,I didn't pay for em,because they were all just gifts in very small amounts,like 1-2 grams or so..so the fed said that he would git laughed out of US courts,for pursueing such small amounts. So he didn't charge me with anything and left my fate in the hands of the local task force. The lead task force feller,said that he would probably just call me up and have me "walk" through the system,but he didn't give me that chance to report voluntarily,with-out prior notice,I was woken up from my regular mid-day nap,by a deputy,who arrested me and took me off to jail..I didn't git to "walk"through the system.

I did request a public defender,however,and I'm glad that I did,because I wound up with no probation,just fines and court-costs and of course,a conviction for a class b misdemeanor. If I had a DL,it would be suspended for a year,but since I don't,I just can't apply for a DL for a year.

There's a little more to the story,that I can't tell ya on-line and probably not by phone or email,either..as the local lead investigator,has reccomended,that my case remain open for investigation. Well..I ain't gonna ever let anyone send me weed through the mail,ever again and I don't pose an on-going threat to my community,like an addict of hard drugs does. They are wasting their time and money on me,while others committ far worse crimes,everyday..and I remain convinced,that they allow known drug houses,to continue to operate and sell drugs to our children,so that they can arrest the users and drive up their revenues from such. So..who's the biggest 'criminal' here ?

I was so insistent that I use marijuana medically,to relieve my chronic back pain and spasticity from such,that they even included it on their investigation report..I wish that you could read it..it was a small victory of sorts..I tell you what !

Have a good one ! :stoned:
