I know no one's going to talk to a cop; it was just an example.

I'd recommend talking to a homeless person. it worked quickly for me when I was dry. the advantages are abundant: they don't have anything to lose, most of them are not paranoid because they know how the streets work, they generally ask very little in return. the only obstacle it seems is understanding the crack-induced drivel that they call language.

IMPORTANT: walk by a guy that's asking for spare change, give him a dollar, and ask for his help. an undercover cop won't be asking for spare change since it's technically illegal. undercovers aren't allowed to come up to you, you have to approach them with your proposal otherwise it's entrapment or something
I live in San Francisco, where we have lots of houseless people. I am very lucky to be able to grow my own. I also agree with you that many people with no homes are quite connected to things that many with homes arent..., like who the street dealers are. That being said, ...i urge all who utilize houseless people for assistance that you make it worth their while. Give them a few bucks, a bud, a handshake, etc etc.
I also wouldnt put much faith into the police following legal procedures. Undercover cops that are involved in the drug trade lie more than any other cop.., even in court, according to former San Jose Police Chief...ummmm, fuck i forgot his name. But he is very outspoken against the drugwar now.
Police lie their asses off.
