"I recently had the opportunity to show BUSTED to an introductory-level criminal justice course, which has approximately 300 students. The actors in the film are about the age of my students and the scenarios are situations familiar to my students. The reaction was overwhelmingly positive. By showing both what can go wrong and how it can be righted, they went away with a much better understanding of their constitutional rights. It’s an excellent film that I would highly recommend." Dr. Ralph A. Weisheit, Illinois State University Dept. of Criminal Justice Advertisement

Re: Really?
I'd agree with you, but I'd go further and say that the drug trade is a driving force behind much of that violent crime and those robberies. It seems unwise to address one without addressing the other.
If breaking the law has the potential to get a person arrested, that person is better off not breaking the law. I don't want a DUI, so I don't drink and drive.
The man in this story did something he knew was illegal. It strikes me as sad and absurd that the police, who were doing the work they've been assigned to do, are being cast in a bad light in this particular story.
Of course-and this is very important- my thinking this doesn't mean that I think police are never in the wrong.
