photojourn Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 (edited) According to Pattaya People ... >>Four Drug Dealers Arrested In the ongoing attempt to crackdown on crime in Pattaya, Police Colonel Nopadol Wongnorm announced the capture of 4 major drug dealers, 3 men and 1 woman, arrested around the Pattaya area over the weekend for possessing and selling the ecstasy drug. In total the street value of the 460 tablets that was confiscated amounts to over 1 million baht. http://www.pattayapeople.com/default.asp?F...IdArticle=12552 << That would make the street price for ecstasy a staggeringly high $65.00 per pill. Sure it looks good for the bib but $65.00 per pill??? Four more people who will get a longer and harsher sentence than they deserve purely based on the value ascribed by the bib.

PhilHarries Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Don't the BiB get a bonus related to a percentage of the value of the drugs recovered during such operations? Also who exactly deems these people as "major drug dealers" (460 tablets between four dealers, whilst no small beer, is not exactly going to cause a major hiccup in supplies)? Answer : the same that boost their bonus based on their estimate of street value also boost their promotion prospects on the back of "major" busts.

moo9 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Gas inflation, food inflation, drug inflation.... Ridiculous what is considered as "major". It would be interesting to see though if they finally could catch some of the masterminds behind. But currently only the local small dealers go to the monkeyhouse. Same Same...

pepsi666 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 dunno how that works out, they're about a quid a tab in London, cheaper if you buy in bulk (+5 or more) And they are sold quite openly around Regent street, Oxford Circus, Soho, but when the plod appear so do the sellers, but sellers are quite commenly seen Mainly sellers stick to the clubs, though Some sel;lers were caught flogging asprin with the E stamped on them, they got away with flogging E's though, but got budsted for not holding a pharmacists licence, punishment............................ 100 hours community service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
