The agency that pulled off the bust, along with the parent government that ok'd the operation, get to keep the money and spend it on whatever they please, with a portion of the proceeds going to the bank.
So if an agency pulls off a $2 million dollar bust, guess who gets new guns, patrol cars, and yearly evaluation raises?
The drugs are re-used in sting operations, they pump the drugs back into the community, let the dealers make their little money, then come in, take the money and the drugs, re-use the drugs and spend the money, while being comped by taxpayer dollars as a basis.
Damn.
I knew about a lot of that seized money going to the department. It was explained to me in that show "The Shield". But yeah, too much of a conflict of interest for them. That's why like you said, the war on drugs is total bullshyt. So much conflict of interest on so many levels. They would never want the war on drugs to stop. They're getting too much money out of it. Many people's bread and butter.
