You aren't very familiar with the world, are you?

I am, as I actually do work that involves catching and prosecuting drug dealers. You very clearly get your knowledge of drug deals from Law and Order.

People tend to 'have a guy'

Sometimes, but that is comparatively rare. Most addicts get their fix from wherever they can. Their "dealer" usually isn't the same person for more than a minute amount of time. Addicts will often just approach other addicts and buy from them. You also have to remember that these people are literally frying their brains with these drugs, so their ability to remember and track their dealers is weak.

Sure, they are often small game......and get their stuff from a bigger fish. Who gets his stuff from a bigger fish,

Do you think drug dealing has some clearly defined hierarchy structure like a fucking Walmart or something? Not only do dealers intentionally make it secretive and confusing, but they also get caught, get shot, change areas, refuse to contact people who give them a bad vibe, etc. If it were so easy to track, they would. Not only would it prevent crime, but for the amount of money they could seize is reward enough for any agency. But it's not that simple, especially because it often involves crossing state and country lines, in tandem with all the other methods used by dealers and distributors to obscure themselves from law enforcement. You have a very simplistic, naive view of how this all works.

To think questioning users is somehow unconstitutional or immoral.....is pretty sad. Don't you guys care about all the victims of drug addiction out there? Apparently the media wants us to care about them. So why not start doing something about it?

What a shitty emotional appeal this is. You're being deliberately obtuse if you can't see why capturing and interrogating people at rehab is a stupid idea.

And make no mistake, I have no sympathy or care for addicts. If I had it my way, we'd just start shooting them after a few offenses.

People should be asking where Demi Lovato got her drugs from. Who was supplying her with the poison she almost overdosed on. Give the authorities a name or a number. Something. Anything. A starting point. Arrest those bigger fish.

Do you really think Demi Lovato actually handles getting her drugs herself? Like she just fucking strolls on down to Tony Montana's mansion and says "1 heroin please, my good man!"?

She probably gets it from someone who she doesn't really know, who also gets it from someone who they don't really know, who also gets it from someone they don't really know. All of which are going to be tight-lipped and impossible to find in the near future because of Demi Lovato being a high profile celebrity.

And once more, where do we get the unlimited resources to chase what are basically ghosts, on top of all the other crimes that police are working to solve?

If I had done the same thing as her......I would have been in jail for 20 years or more.

I missed this gem earlier, but you are truly naive if you think you would even do 20 days in jail for what Lohan did.
