I am a bit surprised to see all our Warpath members who believe that the war on drugs is a failure and who advocate on behalf of legalizing drugs want you to call the police. Apparently the war on drugs is okay IN YOUR OWN NEIGHBORHOOD.
Drugs are illegal and it drives this type of crime on the streets so while it is illegal we have to deal with the crime it brings. If it made legal then all this crime will stop when people can just go to the Drugs Are Us stores and buy it for about half the price and thats with a 40% tax on top of the cost of the drugs.

Unless you're being sarcastic, which I can't tell because I just ate too much for lunch and I'm in a daze, you and I are in agreement on this one!

Call the police. Respectable drug dealers don't deal to people they don't know(1), and they certainly don't deal on the street in front of god and everybody(2).

If they're dumb enough to be outside, report them.

This is like saying that legalizing prostitution will do away with whores. Nonsense. Whores are ineradicable, drug dealing is ineradicable, and I am ineradicable.

So you see a lot of shady guys selling cigarettes and booze in dark alleys?

Re: Potential Drug Dealer- Advice Needed

mredskins, IMO he's probably selling dime bags. You said he's a grown man living with his folks, so chances are he isn't smart enough to have anything more organized going on than small time stuff. Drug deals made on the corner with 2 second hand shakes aren't exactly big time. But I understand your concern. I think his hands up in the air "what" motion pretty much tips it off. If he wasn't doing anything shady, he wouldn't give a shit who glances in his direction as they're driving by.

You already took a good first step by calling the police. You mentioned how tight knit your community is. I would use this to your advantage. Alert your neighbors. Maybe if the entire neighborhood starts giving this dude the eye he'll knock it off. Or at least take his business elsewhere.
