(53,661 posts)Either something really significant is missing from this story, yahoo, isnt it?, or there should be some major suing and firing going on for a waste taxpayer money. I have no problem with them checking things out at the store.
Did the clerk or cashier call in and say they'd sold liquor or beer to a minor? Did a citizen call in? Are they hanging out and watching folks just for this? Did they have a tip there was something worse going on?
I know that there is funny business that goes about these big cartons. In a rural area I lived in the favorite beer box of that size was one with a silver coating.
I found out about this when I inquired of neigbhors about the many middle of the night stops down the highway in a area where there was nothing to go to, literally, in the night by my place. Then speeding away after the stop. The boxes would disappear.
The idea was they looked like litter. But they were waiting for pickup. There were drugs in the boxes. It was about the time helicopters were hovering over the area in the middle of the night. I talked with the constable and he explained they were trying to catch them. Eventually they got
'em or the drug folks picked another road.
So, sure they may have thought there was something else in the box.
But no ID? Guns drawn?
Pullleese.
Sue them until they can't walk straight!
