Criminals have no shortage of finding creative ways to smuggle drugs. The possibilities are endless, keeping law enforcement personnel on their toes. However, one shipment of illegal methamphetamine from Mexico went awry when they ended up at the wrong dealer. Instead of in the hands of drug dealers, the drugs landed at 13 Ford dealerships across eastern Canada, the result of a costly logistical mistake made by the smugglers. Oops.Someone probably lost their head for this. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Drug smuggling is a vast, multi-billion-dollar criminal enterprise thats a modern-day Hydra. No matter how many smuggling lanes police close, smugglers will find new ways to transport drugs. While the cartel is no longer shipping them packed in the spare tires of Ford Fusions, theres little doubt the drugs are still flowing across borders. Legalize drugs, and the cartels evaporate immediately. ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's not that simple, because drug cartels own politicians. But hell yeah, nobody would want to do meth if everyone knew how wonderful mushrooms were. --- Working in a team is great!

The fact that they probably wouldn't have been caught if they hadn't used non-spec tires really drives home how much of a mistake this was.

Legalize drugs, and the cartels evaporate immediately. Ending prohibition didn't immediately evaporate the Mafia. When you take a revenue stream away from hardened criminals who have built their entire fortune on crime, all they're really going to do is switch to a different crime. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ...

Legalize that, then. Eventually you're just going to reach a point the only crimes left are ones too horrific to legalize, or which are illegal for very good reasons. Organized crime engages in any number of crimes that aren't simply vice-related. Once the groundwork of an organized criminal network is established, it rarely goes away even if you remove the thing that helped create it in the first place. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ...
