Not just drug dealers, kidnappers, extortionists and online scammers seem to all be tooled up now. And they seem to often have much better hand guns than they used to have.

Excellent work identifying the bribe and acting on it. Well done.

Scary amount of money being made obviously if bribes of that size are taking place

Well, both sentences were suspended, and the 100k was seized...

Well played by the anti-drug dept.

The message is clear to those who can read in between the lines.

Don’t be so negative, things have changed a lot. It would have been no more than 10,000 a few years ago to get the suspended sentence…
