"Every police encounter carries the potential to ruin a life. BUSTED arms Americans with the information they need to minimize that risk. It should be required viewing in every school in America as part of a basic course in civics." Roger Pilon, Director of the Cato Institute’s Center for Constitutional Studies Advertisement

the unethical recruitment of drug informants
My son was targeted by local law enforcement simply because they valued him as a potential drug informant. They were interested in him because he did construction work for someone who had a permit to grow marijuana plants. He had no drug violations. The detectives targeted his specific vulnerabilities, and played on his sympathy with an older informant who said he was going through a bad divorce, and needed marijuana for his anxiety. The 4 detectives witnessed and videotaped the sale, but did not arrest him. They waited until he reported for a scheduled jail time for a DUI, and rearrested him without publicity, and without family support. They told him he was "screwed", and would he work for them? When he didn't want to consent without talking with his girlfriend, they went after her at work and threatened to prosecute her. He pleaded guilty and got 2 years prison, leaving his 8 yr old son without a dad. Please take a stand against this unethical activity.
