Undercover Cop Tricks Autistic Student into Selling Him Weed

Post Reply New Topic

Don't know if this has been posted, but just watched it and got so mad.

Like the film 21 jump street a cop went undercover at some school and tricked people into selling him drugs and one of them was a guy with Aspergers. His parents said he didn't have any friends at school so when he made friends with this new kid they were so happy, but then they found out his new friend was a undercover cop and this has made him even worse than he was before.

I think I heard of this a while back, probably was even a thread on it....but yeah I found it to be pretty screwed up, now that kid has a lot more issues than he did to begin with.

Vice cops. The laughing stock of any given police force, and for good reason. Could be busting up meth labs, but no, we have to use entrapment techniques to arrest people who have the unspeakable gall to smoke a little weed or spend some time with a hooker, and smugly pretend like we're performing some kind of wonderful service and helping the community.

Losers, all of them.

Way to destroy him. Now he will have even more social issues and trust issues and I hear he has PTSD.

A sick story. Here are a couple of disturbing facts. Did you know that over 98% of everyone in US prisons are there for drug related crimes. Did you know that China had the strictest drug laws in the world. Any involvement of any kind in drugs is punishable by death, and despite such extremely strict laws. drugs are still a major problem in China. Lets face it, you CAN'T!(repeat)CAN'T! win the war on drugs with law enforcement.

Cops these days don't have anything better to do?

No, they literally don't because these arrests are the source of much of their income. They're pressured to get these small drug arrests to get funding, to be able to do those 'better things' they could be doing with their time. The less they pursue these sorts of arrests, the less resources they have to deal with any sort of problem. This is primarily a funding issue that has permeated the culture of the police force. Most police don't join the force to mess up some teenager's life because they tried an illegal drug that one time.

As another type of public servant I am used to seeing this sort of short sightedness to how funding works for public departments. 'You need extra staff? Improve these numbers, I don't care if it actually helps you do your job properly or if meeting those targets compromises your integrity.' It looks good in media and some talking head politician can promote themself by quoting misleading statistics. It affects how managers structure the work force and the attitudes conveyed to their staff in how their work should be conducted.

I would bet $ his parents also do recreational drugs with no medical need.
If so then they have failed as parents.
Also, mixing medications with recreational drugs is very dangerous.
This sort of behavior could cause the boy to have a seizure, kidney failure, or death.

School is not the place for recreational drugs, and certainly not the illegal drug trade.

Around here it seems they expand the police force to the point of having a police car drive by every couple of minutes to take care of some gang, street safety and drug related problems. Now that there under control they have to find reasons to keep the extra officers on staff. Now they try to cuff and stuff people like us for doing "suspicious" things despite having no proof what so ever that a crime is being committed and having no complaints from citizens. There getting so desperate to haul people in that their policing is getting very sloppy as far is not following the proper procedures as found in the manual or the law. People can be practically arrested for walking down the street or through a parking lot, my heart rate goes up whenever I see an officer or police car, I try to avoid them when I see them. Whenever I see an arrest on TV now I automatically wonder what the poor person is being accused of.

Admittedly I have not viewed the video clip, however it is the job of police to uncover and investigate crimes involving vices that are deemed illegal. Beyond that taking illegal drugs, especially in combination with prescription medications is inherently dangerous. I know he may have more issues with AS than he did prior, and I know this will not likely sit well with individuals who smoke weed, think it's OK, or are at a stage in life where they are inclined to rebel, but this may truly have been a blessing in disguise for the young man involved. Why for example was he using weed to start with. I suspect their is an underlying problem for which a prescription would be more appropriate.

I don't see what the problem is? He was dealing drugs, whether he was pressured or has Aspergers doesn't matter. I'm sure 90% of drug dealers out there have some excuse as to why they do it...some probably do it to pay the medical bills for their dying parents. It doesn't make it right though, for all the drugs they sell they ruin other people's lives.
