For what it’s worth, as someone who has never smoked anything, never touched any illegal drugs, and doesn’t even drink, I had multiple cops try to pull the “I smell weed” crap to try to get to search my car, especially when I was younger. As such, I am always suspicious when I see police using that line, especially since there is no physical evidence to prove or disprove whether a cop actually smelled something.
Yeah I was riding with my buddy one night and we got pulled over and they tried to pulled that whole “we smell marijuana” even though neither one of us were smokers and they pulled us out and searched the car for over an hour. Of course they didn’t find anything but it started raining halfway through and so by the time they let us leave we were soaking wet.
That’s scary. But I guess if it wasn’t true, the smell I mean, they weren’t going to find anything everything worked out. With the huge exception, feeling violated, lost trust for police, etc. pretty major. Sorry you were a victim of over zealous police
I had that happen once and was so taken back! I don’t smoke weed, I smoked it 3 times as a teenager and I didn’t even have that car at the time plus this was about 8 years later from the last time I smoked it and the officer pulled the “I smell an odor of weed in your car” .. I just consented to the search anyways by saying “what no I don’t smoke weed you can look in the car if you want” and he searched my car.. he looked like an idiot too. Absolutely nothing was in my car or my bag.
“I would literally shit my pants so that it stunk to high heaven so that he couldn’t smell any of the marijuana” can’t argue with official, board certified legal advice 😂. Thank you for this, Bruce. I learn so much and laugh so much from your videos 🧡.
Please don’t stop making these. You have no idea how much comfort and knowledge you bring to your audience. You captivate us with being a normal person that we can relate to.. one that has kicked ass and taken names to get to where he is. I literally look forward to every. Single. Video. That you put out. Much love brother!
@@ritawashere5787stupid nepo babies. They have access to hundreds of pounds of drugs to traffic but they still choose to just sell a little mid. Must be nice to live in your parents‘ shadow
Yep. when I trip and go in public I MAKE SURE I don't jaywalk, I don't start an argument or you know, do dumb sh.t I enjoy fresh air and the nature and so far never had an issue. On a side note, I did a 5k m road trip from Toronto to Vancouver and brough some of ON's bud to BC. Wasn't pulled over even once. I'm happy this pills were takes off street but it is time for US to legalize this plant, federally. This is ridiculous.
I'm a psych nurse. When Fentanyl was a brand new transdermal drug, I admitted a suicidal patient who suffered from multiple sclerosis, a very painful condition. His suicidal plan had nothing to do with drugs and he was prescribed the first patch he was wearing. Just before bedtime, he took a hot shower. He then told me, "This is the first time I've been pain-free in two years." He expressed hope that this new drug would make his life better. He went to sleep and never woke up. When he took the hot shower, it dumped the three day supply of Fentanyl into his system. I'll never forget it. On a more positive note, he never suffered from pain again, his family didn't suffer the gut-wrenching experience of a suicide, which compounds the grief of the loss of a loved one, and they got a LOT of money from the drug manufacturer.
Omg I had no idea the shower would have dumped all that supply into his system. That’s tragic. But he had a horrible condition. At least he had some comfort.
Oh my goodness - I'm so sorry for him and his family. I have chronic pain tracing back to a severe injury and am currently on pain management. One of my prescriptions is the patch - and I had always taken really hot showers. Nothing ever seemed amiss. It wasn't until a couple of years later that I was told by one of the pain doctors that I needed to avoid hot showers. Two. Years. Later. Uh...thanks for waiting so long! But after he explained why, my eyes must have been as wide as saucers. I know the patches have undergone some changes over the years - so this could possibly be what saved me. These days I no longer take hot showers and have forced myself to get accustomed to cool showers. I don't want to take any chances. This is why your comment shook me up! I feel so badly for this man. Fentanyl has really helped me deal with my pain and I can relate to what he said about being pain free. But I can't say I've been "pain-free" - but better able to cope. I wonder if the high levels going thru his system is why he said he was pain-free. My heart hurts for him in that moment, and for his family now. Fentanyl is a double-edged sword - the prescriptions are micrograms and are powerful enough for severe pain - that bag of 160,000 pills this officer confiscated could have killed so many unwitting people. This is how Prince died. Sorry for the length of this!
OMG, This reminds me heavily of a time I was stopped for speeding on my way to a concert in a city 200 miles away. The officer asked for the usual, and asked where we were going. Then had me come with him to the squad car and had me sit in the front while he ran everything and chatted with me. Here's where it got interesting. He then asked if it was okay with me that the Drug-sniffing K-9 unit comes out to do a 'quick search' of my car because 'the drug unit hadn't had a call at all today and the K-9 needed practice'. I was 21 and didn't know better so I said "Still have 4 hours before the concert, and I like dogs, so sure!". But... I also had zero to hide. There were no drugs in the car. Just road trip snacks and several cans of silly string. Between my nonchalant cooperative attitude, (plus mine and my passenger's stories matched) and after 30 minutes waiting for the K-9 unit, he let me know they were delayed on a 'real call' and we were free to go with a speed warning and told us to have fun at the concert. Not a bad traffic stop at all... but looking back on it 20 years later... *smh*
I got held for over 3 hours in the freezing cold for a K9. I got pulled over because the dealer license plate frame covered 1mm of the N and J in the words new Jersey. Honestly, the search probably wouldn't of stuck anyway, but the cop was so mad when the dog didn't hit. They wasted like six cops for 3-4 hours for absolutely nothing.
I got pulled over in VA for like 5mph over the speed limit. Asked to search my van and I said I don't like people going through my stuff. Said fine was getting the dogs after about 30 minutes comes back saying the same thing had a more important call and gave me a speeding ticket for 5 over. I'm in Michigan and wasn't planning to go back to Virginia, so never paid it and it never showed up on my record. Michigan doesn't honor out of state tickets.
You saved at least 2 lives the day you posted this.... Fact... You changed a mind and recovery has begun.. so God bless and keep going ! Thank you from a mom...
You can tell this cop has been doing this a long time, the way he luls them into security that it's just a ticket and being friendly until he gets to a certain point and then makes his move. He casually ask them questions and is friendly just to get them to open up. People don't realize they are trained for this shit and they study the way people are and how they react in certain situations and how what makes people open up and close off. This dude did his shit perfect for him to get that search and cooperation.
@@A_Stereotypical_Hereticyeah it comes naturally when it’s all they witness young, and it’s basic human instinct to do what it takes to survive but these people are just in denial of reality and are going on autopilot thinking there aren’t any options except for the easiest one.
I lost my best friend of over 30 years to fentanyl. We meet in first grade. I've known her longer than my siblings😢. She had been clean, ran into an old "friend", used just once more and died. That ish is no joke. And honestly it you've got all that in the car then why tf are you going even a mile over the speed limit. ❤U always Jess
Your commentary is hilarious, but also educational. When I was teaching, I would have liked to have had your videos to show my high school students, many of whom had relatives in jail. Their thinking was always "that won't happen to me". This is proof positive that it can.
Years ago I was a reporter in Western Mass and we covered the drug busts thoroughly (I-91 up from New York and Connecticut to northern New England and then into Canada is a sizable trafficking route). And 9/10 busts would be because the driver had no plates, or no insurance, or was going 95 in a 55, or had a headlight out, or something really avoidable and dumb. Almost never would the bust be the result of an actual investigation
@@kyliejones8827I mean he is correct insofar as statistically "colored" people (the numbers I could find were only of black people) are stopped at 3.5x the rate of white people and there is a similar amount of discovery or confiscation. Ironically with stop and frisk they have found similar numbers. These numbers are both from NY
Thank god for Bruce. Always a great source of sound life advice like "Don't do fentanyl." Right up there with his controversial stance that you "shouldn't stare directly into the sun for minutes on end." I have no clue how he does it, but his dry sense of humor always lands so well with me.
Comment way too subtle for your responders... The first time he said "If you are thinking about doing Fentanyl, don't", my thoughts were kinda like yours: Well okay, but damn. Before you said that, it had been #3 on my today's To Do list.
If I haven’t said this already I will say it again. I’m a retired lawyer. I was a sole practitioner sharing space with other lawyers. I loved what I did and listening to you dissect these arrests and questioning of the accused is so entertaining! I always spoke with other lawyers about cases to get more than my perspective on various matters. I miss doing that on a daily basis so this is the next best thing! Thank you
This was so sad to watch. As a parent, how could you go along with something like this, risking you and your child's freedoms and lives?? This was just heart breaking.
@@miterbox7031 The way he continuously deferred to her, it seems like she may have gotten him into it to begin with. So incredibly sad. What really gets me is that at one point, it sounded like she was considering putting it all on him and pretending she didn't know anything. Using her own son as a scapegoat is wild to me.
@@maddiekain7728I said the same exact thing to myself when I heard her talking to the cop. She absolutely was ready & willing to let her son take the fall.
Bruce I’ve been watching your channel for quite some time now in the UK, if you ever get bored of Criminal Law I think you’ve definitely got a natural talent for comedy! I especially love the references to your Grandma when your plugging your sponsors E-Sign, they are hilarious! … keep up the content guys you are massively entertaining Im hooked! 👍🏼💯
He does give the greatest most wholesome fatherly legal advice! Wish my Dad was as accepting and loving as Bruce. It's awesome that they work together (I have this type of relationship with my mom though and I'm grateful for it).😊
He actually talked about the fact that he didn't think he was a great father all the time, which makes and a great father..humility and insight is what makes him so awesome, imo
Not entirely true last time I got pulled over I couldn’t find my registration that was buried in my glove compartment and he’d just let me go with a ticket
I got pulled over without proof of registration and without proof of insurance. Just bought the car and didn't put copies in. He told me it was fine and ran my plates and got all that info and told me to put copies in when I got home. No ticket.
@@WOLFFMAAN8714tbf, ive had a cop say "yeah i smell a heavy odor of weed in the car" when......i had been clean and sober off everything for about a decade, the real reason was because im hispanic and drive a nicer car so they went "oh brown guy with a nice car? obviously a criminal" 99% of these searches are just based off racism 2 hours later, a dog sniffing me multiple times and my car panels being ripped off, my person being searched 5 different times guess what they found? *nothing*
All these clowns never got "I smell marijuana" Also, a dog hitting on a vehicle to search, is as reliable as a coin flip. Literally a coin flip. Using dogs to search people is ridiculously unconstitutional, even just at face value where you can't face your accuser., but the face that the dog just randomly hits on anything it thinks the cop wants to? Absurd.
Yeah because US police forces are extremely predatory, cruel, ruthless, bloodthirsty, and totally lack any compassion or empathy. They can't be bargained with, they can't be reasoned with. They expect total and complete submission and blind obedience from you. They are merely mindless automatons who blindly obey the commands of men in suits and ensure their laws are followed, and to catch anyone who steps out of line. Their job is to abduct you by any means necessary to drag you to a guy in a robe so he can punish you. Your only (legal) means of defense, is via an attorney you'll have to hire for a massive fee to argue on your behalf in a courtroom.
Bruce, I don’t know if you’ll see this but I think you should post a link for the organization called Never Use Alone, when talking about fentanyl. I know you’re telling people to not use or how dangerous it is, but this organization could use help, and it’s kinda amazing. They take calls from users and save their lives by having them unlock the door and if they become unresponsive, they call an ambulance. They need volunteers and it’s a life saving option to help keep our families safe. Harm reduction saves lives.
So if you’re a user and you’re about to use, you call a number and talk to someone while using? You give them your address and unlock the door? Then if you stop responding, they call 911 for you? That’s a wild idea. I’ve never heard of it. I lived in Vancouver for like 3y, they had a place called Insite (sp) or something like that. It was a safe injection site. They had medical staff like nurses or whatever I assume, and you could go there and inject and obv if you OD’d you’d immediately get narcan’d etc. I’m pretty sure they had clean needles, pipes, alcohol wipes, cottons, cookers, little things of clean water, bands you tie around your arm, etc etc. They weren’t (I assume still aren’t) allowed to touch you, like they obv can’t inject you lol. But they’ll oversee it and make sure you’re doing what you’re doing as safely as possible. Obviously it’s inherently unsafe, but it’s a million times safer in places like that. Vancouver even had a truck, or trucks idk, that you could call (24/7? If not then close) and they’d deliver you clean supplies, and take your used syringes (had to be in a used Sharps container they’d give you) to dispose of them safely. It was a huge culture shock, I can’t fathom something like that existing near where I currently live…and I’m not far from Detroit. I’m sure there’s prolly places you can go to get clean stuff, I know some pharmacies will sell you syringes (they can refuse, or could when I knew about this stuff like 10y ago…idk if they can now or what) though. But I’ve never seen a whole kit like that where it’s a little cooker, a cotton, sealed little water vial, alcohol wipe or w/e, a rubber band you can use to tighten around your arm, (if you’ve seen movies like that they use belts a lot, these are like bands they would have at physical therapy or something) legit everything. Then if you want, glass tube and all the stuff like filter etc to make a pipe for you can prolly guess. You could also get narcan free I believe? Or at least cheap. I think that’s a thing now in the USA, prolly not all states but def some you can go in to a pharmacy or w/e and get narcan free. You can say it’s enabling addicts, but honestly it’s saving them. Like you just hope they live long enough to finally want to get clean, and when you do they had the services there. It’s not like here where it’s all backwards, like I believe in Seattle or Oregon they decriminalized drugs. But it went super poorly bc they didn’t set up the infrastructure before actually passing the bill. Insanely ignorant. I think it’s Portugal where p much everything is decriminalized, my friend grew up there, lived there until he was like 25. They actually get you help if you want it and it’s not a bajillion dollars for a decent facility. I know in some countries they’ve done trials where ppl who haven’t been able to quit H by using a substitute like subs or ‘done or anything, super long time users, they prescribed them exact doses of pure H. They’d go maybe 2-3x/day? Idk exactly, but I know these ppl were able to get off the street, get and keep a job, all that. The USA is just so far behind so many places and they don’t seem to care. It’s a legit full scale crisis but they just throw users in jail (maybe you’ll get rehab instead if you’re lucky, depends how much you’re caught w, where you are, etc) and the war on drugs rages on. Purdue with OCs and that disgusting BS, obviously they shut it all down, so ppl go to H. Then they start busting ppl for H all over, prices skyrocket, they clamp down on prescribing any pain meds so much to where I’ve known two ppl with diseases that aren’t curable and cause crazy pain, and so many of the Drs either have no clue what they’re doing, or they’re petrified to lose their license from “overprescribing.” So now unless you find a very compassionate dr and a great practice, you’re treated like a criminal for getting your legal prescription pain meds you can’t get out of bed without bc it’s so debilitating. I’ve seen drs give ppl 60 perc 10/325s for a couple pulled teeth, and I’ve seen someone with a chronic illness that causes obscene pain not be able to get more than like Tylenol 3s. It’s nuts. They also don’t care, or many don’t about weaning you off of pain meds after they’re pumping you full of them after a horrible accident or something. They’ll just cut you off one day sometimes, and not bc you did anything wrong. It’s all really gross, and they wonder why F is so prevalent now. They can pull as much as they want off the street it doesn’t matter. It’s literally made in a lab, there is no end. Ban the precursors, they’ll find a new way to make a new analogue or a way to get the chemicals anyway. People were infinitely better off when H was the main issue. Now it’s F, and there are 100s of analogues varying from a fraction of the strength of morphine, to literally some that they use to put down elephants and stuff with a couple milligrams on the tip of a dart that knocks out a fully grown elephant near instantly. Talking 30, 50x stronger than pure F. Some even stronger but they do obviously exaggerate. But there is absolutely stuff that’s 30-50x stronger than F and it’s not like impossible to find. Maybe 5-8y ago, you could order it online extremely easily domestically before CN cracked down on it more. Still very possible to get and is being made. Not that stuff, but F is all over. Any opioid pill you buy on the street, decent chance it’s F. Any H? Strong chance there’s at least some F in it. It’s just insanity. Truly.
I've said this over and over an over, if you decide to traffic in illicit substances, were your dam seatbelt, go the dam speed limit, don't run dam stop signs, don't rep expired tags
I’m happy he was speeding that fentanyl being taken saved thousands of lives 🥺my little sister died of fentanyl poisoning and it tore my family apart. Anyways thanks to this officer for pulling him over

@@belloftheball4518 The only reason the cop didn't cuff him was because he wanted to maintain the "just trying to help you out" façade. To me, Bruce's comment was a "cut the shit" and not a call to infringe upon his rights.

I saw this already but I love your humorous commentary, legal education and personal cases you talk about hence the reason I watched it again. -Thank You & keep it coming!
Like it won't take a day max till the same amount is transported down the same road. How naive are you people? All that cop did was extend some lifes for a day or two - I mean that's not nothing, but still a very temporary fix.
I am appalled that this mother has done this to her child. In my opinion, its child abuse. He’s 18 years old. Imagine the life he’s had. I wish she would go to prison for life. Sad.
42:41 when the officer says, "I don't want him, I want the bigger guy on the chain," and MOM says, "Right, and who's to say they're not driving by right now and see us talking to you?" 😳Sure makes it sound like she KNOWS what that trip was really about! OMG, SHE KNOWS!
Yes my thought too.. mother is not a very clever mother now they both in jail! She better acted " he son what did you do..tell me what did you do? And why did you take me with you...I know nothing..I am so angry right now
Your channel is lots of fun, intuitive, humorous and your son does such a fine job editing and producing. My son is in school for this stuff right now.
This mom should be charged with all of it. She's obviously the experienced and has definitely done it before. To bring her son along and make him drive is ridiculous. On top of that it's her car and she tried to spin it as "we both own the vehicle."
She actually didnt have anything to do with it do your homework he was trying to make money and brought mom to seem extra normal and ended up snitching
This video is so real to me on a deeper human level. When I hear about these cases on the news I process the facts of “x” amount of fentanyl, “x” amount of heroine, etc. The mother & son bluffing at the beginning of stop progressed to unmitigated fear. It was dangerous to release this video. I’ve never thought in terms of who else is watching on the physical highway or on UA-cam.
Same. I’m going to research this case and see if I can find anything else out because I don’t understand how in hell they released this footage. No blurred faces, no blurred vehicle, and his admittance to help them not redacted. My first thought is “maybe they’re already dead”.
This cop is so good with his investigative approach and his questioning. He so casual and inconspicuous in the manner in which he does everything. I'm impressed at his professionalism. Everything that he's doing decreases the raising of suspicion, which would decrease his safety and increase risk to him. It was also smart to have the occupants step far away from both him and their vehicle and has gain possession of the vehicle keys.
I used to commute on the bus. Every morning this young woman always walked to the front of the line. She would whine until someone let her get on. Then she never had enough $ for bus fare. Every day $1.25 short. She did it so much they banned her from the bus.... turned out she was trafficking drugs from Tacoma to Seattle.... every day.... these were commuting busses left every 5 minutes. Talk about self sabotage 😂😂😂
And she didn’t make enough for an under $2 bus fare!? She must have gotten her payment in dope or something!! I was offered $3500 to do “a run” to Texas. Would have taken me a day there & back, I was really needing the money but it just wasn’t worth my freedom… my life. That was years ago when I was much younger I’m glad I didn’t do it. I did some super stupid shit when I was young but never anything to do with heavy drugs like that… and never did any time for my stupid shit. Thank goodness! I feel sad for both mom & son. Idk why they were doing it and who’s idea it was or whatever but damn … his life is for sure over & hers too most likely since the car is in her name. And now that this is all over the internet, and if they did end up snitching… they are as good as dead if they aren’t already 😞

I saw that video a couple days after it came out and immediately thought "these guys need Bruce Rivers, the criminal lawyer." 🤣 Love hearing your reaction/perspective!
I used live outside of Albuquerque and had to drive on the I-40 all the time. We got stopped once for literally doing 2 miles over the speed limit. They separated my husband and I to make sure our stories matched of what we were doing (NM state Police does that to everyone, they go talk to the passenger while checking the VIN, like he did here). I can't tell you how many times I saw pulled over cars being searched. Definitely don't speed on the I-40, especially if you're trafficking drugs! 😂
Why did you give them a story. Tell the truth you came from their moms house and your going to the dads house. They are swingers looking for fun. In other words, where you were is none of their business if they want to know get a warrant and ask goggle.
NMSP are some tricksters. I’ve noticed lately they tuck their cruder into the little what I’ve coined ‘ass crack’ that’s under the ramp to enter paseo from I-25 and run their radar waiting for people to pass👀 and the shade covers up their cruisers so well you’ll never see that cop unless it’s reported on Waze or it’s too late.😂
Was it a little town? I'm from a small town and currently as well. Cops will pull you over at 5 mph over, jaywalking, dumb parking infractions, etc. That's how the town makes their money. Meet their Quota. They're supposed to tell you that, but we all know that they're bullshitters anyway.
Yep! Albuquerque is the hub where I-40 and I-25 meet…drugs, gangs, and human trafficking. Used to do volunteer work when the women’s prison was in Grants.
The weed smell thing was always too subjective. I never smoked a thing in my life but ive gotten "Do i smell marijuana/weed?" almost everytime ive been pulled over. But i look like a hippie so they think its an easy fishing question.
Omfg this man is a comedian! I cried laughing when he said… “I’m a victim of domestic abuse so please don’t take my fentanyl and heroin” and then audibly laughed so loud when the cop asked the woman so which one is your bag and he says. “The one without drugs”.
Also what a weird way to spend time with mom… generally my mom and I would go for coffee and the book store or something. This cop was awesome. Very kind and respectful and even when they were being annoying he took the time to explain to them.
This is dangerous, those people better hope they get wp. I don't understand a mother out there riding with her son trafficking drugs knowing it's killing other people's kids
I think they said $160,000 worth... I guarantee you that's incredibly exaggerated. Please always used ridiculous metrics to come up with their figures. I mean I don't doubt it's a shitload of the drug Don't get me wrong but I bet you it's a lot closer to like 30 or $40,000 to the versus 160 They're probably extrapolating it as if every single transaction of the drug was for a $10 bag. When realistically it would be sold in bulk in many cases
@@michaelcorcoran8768 Did you not watch the whole video? It's not $160k worth of pills, it's 160,000 pills. In the red duffle bag were 24 individual bags labelled 5,000 which means there were 5k pills in each bag. With a lowball street value of $20 per pill, that load was worth a minimum of $3.2 million dollars. The cartel paid that kid $20,000 bucks just to make the run, they wouldn't pay that kind of cash to move $160k in pills.
This is a smart officer. He separated them to get stories, even though this was ostensibly just a traffic stop and he’d have no reason to do that… which means he’s learned this from experience that these people could be smugglers and they may not have matching stories and etc etc
He also performed a warrantless entry of the vehicle and illegally expanded the scope of the traffic stop. Once he gave the warning, the stop was over. A federal public defender will have this case tossed out, and a decent defense attorney will get it tossed in state court.
@@ExecratedPlaysGaming Doubt it. You think a fed is posing as a state trooper to pull people over for speeding? Dude was tipped that this car was carrying drugs.
I lost my mom (who was an addict since I was 6) to fentanyl 3 months ago, im almost positive she did not know it was mixed with the drugs she bought. I lost my brother to fentanyl, but he was a nurse and we have a bad feeling it was intentional. That shit is no joke and being a mother to 2 beautiful boys it scares the shit out of me. I preach to them all of the time and use my childhood experiences with my mom as examples, hoping it scares them enough to stay the hell away from that lifestyle, because going through what I went through with my mom scared me enough to never ever buy illegal drugs. It just scares me so much. It's heartbreaking.
Im so sorry for your losses. I lost my cousin to an OD he left 3 little kids 😢. My husband is a paramedic and sees the effects of fentanyl every day. It's heartbreaking to be losing people 💔.
I'm sorry for the losses you've had a a result of fentanyl. My niece died the same way as your mom. I don't think she knew it was in the meth she used. My cousin's child also od'd on it and died as well. It's horrifying what this drug is doing to so many people. You're in my prayers ❤ 🙏
614, my sincere condolences for your lost. That's so sad, why staying away from drugs n the folks that use them. You never know what the cutter put into such drugs for earning more $$$. I was a pot stoner at 14 to 18. I sign up for Israeli service n they literally saved my life. I never believed in myself until then n I had a new awesome brothers n sisters that honestly cared for each other. After Infantry/Combat I tried out as a RedBoot n graduated as a paradog. Then hired on a a Israeli IDPS agent n had a blast. It was a cool job for a single guy. But got tired of wearing a suit most days. I miss it alot,,, When my boyz were young, I made arrangements for them to experience what jail time was like. It was traumatic experience n paid off thankfully. One son got caught up in a stupid alcohol incident. With that experience n knowing my dad will make my life hell on earth. It kept them from being abusive lifestyle n how it will undoubtedly mess up down the road. Oldest boy, a 7th degree Grand Master n dojo owner n AOG pastors. 2nd a submariner n SOFs for a few yrs. He's worked as a smoke jumper n now a regional manager high stress fed. Youngest boy n his wife are both MDs living on a beautiful island I'll never see. Being a hardass dad paid off thank god. My apologies for long comment, but hope it encourages some parent out there or young person. They ABSOLUTELY NEED PARENTS active as a parent n advice coach. 😢 oldest got stupid drunk one night n bought a gal home n slept with him in the basement. After feeding her a good breakfast, she said she never had one like this.😢 Sad,,, After she left wife just said let it go he's still young. I pushed him upto the wall while mom tried to intervene. I said don't you ever bring a girl home until you're married to her. Don't EVER means Ever,,, We aren't operating a fkin whore house, n you are a quest n son of ours. It's called RESPECT BUD, GOT IT. Never again had a problem. Kids are kids n maybe I was too hard on them, but today they're proud of their achievements n respectful n self integrity n caring for others less fortunate. I can only hope n pray they'll steer their ship towards Jesus Christ n raise their kids how they want. Have 15 gkids today n 8 are adopted from horrible disgusting homes. I gotta get. God Bless...
It's amazing how some people can have this little common sense, and how could someone not feel a little worried that they could get caught to be more careful?
my guess is that if this is something they do normally then they're used to it and the worry faded. that or they were close to their destination and thought they might already be in the clear.
I would be willing to bet this cop had intel prior to pulling him over. He played that situation way to "cool". That kid and his mom were set up. There was nothing they could have done to avoid this situation.
@@maggiee639You people are sickening. Cops are the only ones that would come save your sorry ass when you need them. You've been lied to and brainwashed by the media and you don't even know it. Sad.
I appreciate how you dressed up for us. Love the beard! And your laugh. I have 2 sons, thankfully they never got into this stuff but I had a brother who did. Stay away from this s*it. He just got out of his second prison stint, both drug related. He was a good example for my kids of what not to do with your life.
my law enforcement class in 9th grade taught me that most 9th grades are smarter than most criminals for context our law enforcement teacher (he was the SRO for the school so double duty) gave each of us about 2-3 minutes to come up with a story in the hallway, then he would bring us in and question us in front of the class. Out of everyone only like two groups stories fell apart.
As soon as the cop started talking snitching, I was thinking, OMG this is out there for anyone to see. Just thinking about snitching will get those folks killed. It truly betrays the soulless nature of contemporary law enforcement. At least you’re here to keep us clear on the nature of these beasts.
Fentanyl is in basically everything. I am a recovering addict and got clean right before it started getting so bad. I wouldn’t take a damn thing from anybody off the streets. Might as well be playing Russian roulette. When I heard a girl from a rehab in North Carolina saying they’ve been mixing meth and fentanyl out there in the mountains (I’m in TN) I knew it was even worse than I imagined. I’m glad you brought up the danger on them if they do a controlled buy and this is just out in the open for anybody to see…. Some very close loved ones of mine were involved with the Hondurans (cartel) and if they even THINK you snitch, they will have someone following you. I’m really wondering what their future is looking like and if they’re even going to get out alive with the body cam being out there completely for public view. They’re in danger. Them trafficking all of this in the past…. They’ve technically been a part of many lives lost because of the drugs.
@Annoyethey are pressed fentanyl pills made by a regular person like you or me. They’re not made by professionals in a laboratory like normal RX pills you’d get prescribed.
@Annoye so theres the blues that most either ingest or snort, the greys ppl smoke. I only know cuz my ex relapsed onto fents. It is in everything!!! Meth, H, everything has fents mixed in. Doesn't matter if its a pill, they just crush or whateva to add it to everything else.
Michael truly is a content genius! I had already heard of this case. Interstate 77 South and North going into Iredell County is a long stretch of a County, and they don't play. My family and I go through Iredell to Davie County to visit a Mennonite farm and buy the best raw honey ever. Tupelo is my favorite. Going through there last trip, 7 cars were pulled with about 40 total cars surrounding them in about a 10 mile stretch for trafficking. This happens almost DAILY! You'd think traffickers would re-route and stay away. Nope. Minimum at least 1 car is busted a day trafficking. Maybe 7 in a day, but not 7 in a 10-mile stretch. That was crazy!!! 10:15 the guy started on a self snitch EXTREME! Edit: Dude, go to the 140 sign, just keep walking. 😂
I could not help but think, "RELEASE THE HOUNDS!", but I'm a veterinarian. I needed a pick me up desperately after working emergency this weekend, thank you for that. Love y'all!!!!
that cop did what he had to do to catch them but it was refreshing to see that he treated them humanly after he found out. I've seen many video where the cops raised hell on them.
They had to be tipped off about the car. The State Police normally don’t flip around until you’re 20 over in NM. What a coincidence that he’s a task force officer for HSI.
i agree, when popo dont normally bust a u-turn like that unless they already had an idea of something like that going down. Although it could just be that the area is burnt af and anyone that fits whatever profile they are looking for and also speeding will get pulled over right quick like that. From personal experience, there were two instances where the cops already were like looking for someone that fit a profile and the moment they saw the car i was driving, my age and gender, the passengers in my car, and ofc the expired tags i got pulled over real quick with the cop giving the biggest load of bs for probable cause, which even if it was bs.... didn't matter cause they knew they knew if the found something (Which they did) they'd get away with it and off to the local popo station i go.
@@jimarcher5255 I'm guessing a Federal agency partners with a State police agency. So the State policy do the basic policing work and then "switch" to their Federal authority to do the Federal Agency things.
Don't comment a crime while committing another crime... Don't talk to the police and always require a warrant ... the best advice you could ever give anyone at any time
I'd amend that to "don't commit a stupid, obvious crime while committing another crime" sometimes you just gotta double up, for instance "mishandling of a corpse"

@@davidmb1595they won’t make it out. the type of people that supply a trafficker with 2kilos of fentanyl & a kg of heroine are the type of people to kill you in prison for attempting to snitch on them.
@@NickyBlue99 Until it happens to you. Continue to deny reality. When one cop misbehave and the rest of the team backs him/her up or make false statements, they all becomes bad cops. Stop watching fox news.
I had a cop do this with me in Oklahoma when I was driving my friends car cross country, I never heard of them asking you to sit in the passenger seat of their vehicle. A cop told me it's a method they use to study your body language and see how you respond to questions. I was sooooo nervous because cops scare me, was going at *least* 20 over & I was driving someone else's car and didn't know if they'd believe me. But he ended up just giving me a warning. Luckily I didn't bring weed with me on that trip, in the event that I got pulled over for any reason. I don't carry weed in my car at all anymore since I got a small charge 5 years ago. Learned my lesson, like many don't.

My sister died of a fent overdose. My best friends brother wasn't even a drug addict and took a fake blue one time and died. I got into them bad (because of my sister) at one point where I could do like 15 30mg (IR) at once and not feel a thing, but I knew they were real at the time. I would never mess with them now.
I understand. Where I grew up has always been drugs everywhere and a lot of my friends started with xans then blus now they are doing h. It’s really sad and I know of about 15-20 people who passed due to fent being cut with other drugs or confused for coke. It’s really sad. It used to be fun to experiment a little. Now that stuff is in everything. It’s not good at all ! I really hope more people will stop using and just smoke weed or drink in moderation. Maybe some shrooms but this hard stuff is not it because it is cut before it gets here and when it gets here some dealers cut it more so you never know the actual dosage. Very dangerous stuff. I cry sometimes just knowing some of the people grew up with are not here when I made it out and have kids now and get to go thru life. I know kids who died at 17. It’s a sad sad time. Prayers to everyone experiencing this. It’s just not fair.
@@michaelcorcoran8768 yeah i understand tolerance, I'm just saying it could happen to anyone. Even people that just do it once. Usually the real junkies are the ones that don't die (unless they get clean).

YES, absolutely Speed When You're Trafficking 160,000 Fentanyl Pills so the police can get you out of the streets and we can have better lives. This CLR Bruce is advocating for crime. WOW.
As a mother, I'm having a hard time understanding his mother. She knew what he was doing. She was even with him supporting him. Why? I never would have been there supporting him in this! I have always been there for my children, and I have 8 of them, but I never would have been there knowing what they were doing. Never!! Really makes me wonder if mom has her own issues and she talked her son into doing this for her.
Bc she's not just a mother. Are you a Latina? This woman looks to be from Mexico, are you from Mexico? Most latinos are born poor, in real poverty, not trailer park or hood poverty, which is an upgrade for those not born in the US. Is that your situation as well? If not, then STFU with your judgement and stay on your back with your legs wide open since that's what you decided to do with the only life you get. In your delusional eyes, that makes you a million times better than the mother in this video.
Nah bruce was right about that. I remember I got pulled over with a loaded firearm in the car knowing I wasn’t supposed to have it and I was farting so bad 😂. You instantly want to 💩 yourself.
Bruce you're exactly correct to state that this is irresponsible of the authorities to release this body cam footage! If they gonna be like this why can't we hear the F in 911 calls from they collage student Idaho 4 case!?
ALL of this footage should be released to the public, might deter future mother son drug mule teams of doing what they did for fear of ending up on UA-cam.
Thank you for being an engaging attorney!!! And not as you said, someone who holds a clients hand with a passport to prison. I recently had an attorney just as I mentioned. It's the rest of my / your life... Not the attorney's... Choose wisely!!! 💯
Doesn't matter what you do if you've been set up or snitched on there are so many mundane stupid traffic laws out there that will always give the cops a reason to pull you over if they truly want to.
Very true, I used to work overnight in a hotel and cops would swing by all night because we had the best 24/7 coffee(free to law enforcement). One told me once that the traffic code was a very thick book and that if you’re driving, you are always breaking the law. They just don’t enforce everything unless they really want to stop you
That only happens if they have a reason to look for you. If your just a part of the crowd and you don't give them a reason, you can just continue on your way.@@chrisbenefield9963
Dude He was setup, think about it. Random Homeland drug task force guy pulls over a speeder AND DOES A VIN CHECK?!? The huge amounts of drugs BUT ONLY 1 JAR OF WEED? That weed was put there so the smell gives probable cause. Also if he truly meant to enforce speeding law, then WHY would he issue a WRITTEN WARNING FOR 93mph?!? He didn't care about the "speeding" they were looking for this specific vehicle the whole time. They were 100% screwed the very moment they got in that car and started driving. It had to of been an undercover operation with someone in with the cartels or something. It truly makes no sense why you'd haul alllllll that, but only a single jar of weed c'mon now think about it.
In Germany, it is mandatory to carry a warning triangle and a first aid kit in the car. Our police takes advantage of this by checking both at every traffic control and also taking a look in the trunk. But you can get around this by storing it somewhere else in the car :)
In the US you can buy a car air freshener just about anywhere… they look like a tree or some shape and have a band on the top to hang them from the rear view mirror. Well, in most states they give the cops a reason to pull you over! They call it an obstruction of view which is a traffic hazard 🙄 They don’t actually care about the stupid freshener… it’s just one of a few reasons they can pull you over and then find a reason/make one up to search it. Most people have no idea about that air freshener. Pretty messed up!
I don’t understand how any mother could be involved with something like this never mind with your own son . Yeah I get that it’s all about the money but I don’t get that either…..no amount of money is worth risking your child going to prison & yourself also . Not only that but to be distributing these tablets or any kind of substance knowing how addictive they are & that so many die from …….my conscience could not bear it . I left my husband because of drug dealing and use & sadly he died from an overdose. My life might be simple & a little boring…….but I’m free. Such a sad waste of life .
I actually do get it. Some people are desperate for money. Not necessarily to get rich but to make ends meet. Sometimes even good people make poor decisions. What I DONT get is why the dummy was speeding and smoking weed, just begging to be pulled over.
@@kateashby3066 Oh I get that people need money to make ends meet & yes good people make poor decisions you’re quite right & there are always consequences for those choices no matter how desperate we are to make ends meet ! There’s no sugar coating it …..many aren’t trying to make ends meet their In it for greed ……the name brand seekers , clothes, jewellery, mansions……what ever . But no way in hell could I be involved in something that would see any of my boys go to prison!! I’d have to get extra jobs . And as I said the people who die from overdoses or live an addicted life effecting babies they carry , stealing to support their habit & all the rest of it . It’s a vicious cycle that affects many & benefits no one in the end . Oh……& I have the utmost compassion for addicts and help many taking groceries to their families because they can’t feed their children. So I’m not trying to be mean or harsh but it’s just not worth it . There are so many other ways than putting anybody’s life at risk. And I also say if these dealers sell drugs to your child/ children/ grandchildren……who ever you love ……..& they become addicted or die ………just remember……..they were only trying to make ends meet.
The fent epidemic is so sad. Only about 6 years ago we didn’t have this issue. Sure it was probably around but now it’s so strong and cheap to manufacture that it’s literally not safe to take any pills that you didn’t get from the doctor yourself
I’m surprised at how awesome the police officer was. The guy seems to be operating under the belief that secondary locks on the bag renders it outside the parameters of a car search.
For what it’s worth, as someone who has never smoked anything, never touched any illegal drugs, and doesn’t even drink, I had multiple cops try to pull the “I smell weed” crap to try to get to search my car, especially when I was younger. As such, I am always suspicious when I see police using that line, especially since there is no physical evidence to prove or disprove whether a cop actually smelled something.
Yeah I was riding with my buddy one night and we got pulled over and they tried to pulled that whole “we smell marijuana” even though neither one of us were smokers and they pulled us out and searched the car for over an hour. Of course they didn’t find anything but it started raining halfway through and so by the time they let us leave we were soaking wet.
@@wolfpecker5710I would contact a lawyer for detaining you for an unreasonable amount of time.
That’s scary. But I guess if it wasn’t true, the smell I mean, they weren’t going to find anything everything worked out. With the huge exception, feeling violated, lost trust for police, etc. pretty major. Sorry you were a victim of over zealous police
I had that happen once and was so taken back! I don’t smoke weed, I smoked it 3 times as a teenager and I didn’t even have that car at the time plus this was about 8 years later from the last time I smoked it and the officer pulled the “I smell an odor of weed in your car” .. I just consented to the search anyways by saying “what no I don’t smoke weed you can look in the car if you want” and he searched my car.. he looked like an idiot too. Absolutely nothing was in my car or my bag.
@emilyward4388 you were actually the idiot for letting him search your vehicle without probable cause, and having your time and rights violated.
“I would literally shit my pants so that it stunk to high heaven so that he couldn’t smell any of the marijuana” can’t argue with official, board certified legal advice 😂. Thank you for this, Bruce. I learn so much and laugh so much from your videos 🧡.

Or worded more simply, "only commit one crime at a time"
Don't let a misdemeanor cause a felony c:
I'm a psych nurse. When Fentanyl was a brand new transdermal drug, I admitted a suicidal patient who suffered from multiple sclerosis, a very painful condition. His suicidal plan had nothing to do with drugs and he was prescribed the first patch he was wearing. Just before bedtime, he took a hot shower. He then told me, "This is the first time I've been pain-free in two years." He expressed hope that this new drug would make his life better. He went to sleep and never woke up. When he took the hot shower, it dumped the three day supply of Fentanyl into his system. I'll never forget it. On a more positive note, he never suffered from pain again, his family didn't suffer the gut-wrenching experience of a suicide, which compounds the grief of the loss of a loved one, and they got a LOT of money from the drug manufacturer.
Omg I had no idea the shower would have dumped all that supply into his system. That’s tragic. But he had a horrible condition. At least he had some comfort.
Wow. 😮
I don't know what to say. Poor guy. Dr phil had a great episode on the topic . Extremely dangerous 😪
I'm so sorry this happened. How heartbreaking.
Oh my goodness - I'm so sorry for him and his family. I have chronic pain tracing back to a severe injury and am currently on pain management. One of my prescriptions is the patch - and I had always taken really hot showers. Nothing ever seemed amiss. It wasn't until a couple of years later that I was told by one of the pain doctors that I needed to avoid hot showers. Two. Years. Later. Uh...thanks for waiting so long! But after he explained why, my eyes must have been as wide as saucers. I know the patches have undergone some changes over the years - so this could possibly be what saved me. These days I no longer take hot showers and have forced myself to get accustomed to cool showers. I don't want to take any chances. This is why your comment shook me up! I feel so badly for this man. Fentanyl has really helped me deal with my pain and I can relate to what he said about being pain free. But I can't say I've been "pain-free" - but better able to cope. I wonder if the high levels going thru his system is why he said he was pain-free. My heart hurts for him in that moment, and for his family now. Fentanyl is a double-edged sword - the prescriptions are micrograms and are powerful enough for severe pain - that bag of 160,000 pills this officer confiscated could have killed so many unwitting people. This is how Prince died. Sorry for the length of this!
OMG, This reminds me heavily of a time I was stopped for speeding on my way to a concert in a city 200 miles away. The officer asked for the usual, and asked where we were going. Then had me come with him to the squad car and had me sit in the front while he ran everything and chatted with me.
Here's where it got interesting. He then asked if it was okay with me that the Drug-sniffing K-9 unit comes out to do a 'quick search' of my car because 'the drug unit hadn't had a call at all today and the K-9 needed practice'. I was 21 and didn't know better so I said "Still have 4 hours before the concert, and I like dogs, so sure!". But... I also had zero to hide. There were no drugs in the car. Just road trip snacks and several cans of silly string. Between my nonchalant cooperative attitude, (plus mine and my passenger's stories matched) and after 30 minutes waiting for the K-9 unit, he let me know they were delayed on a 'real call' and we were free to go with a speed warning and told us to have fun at the concert. Not a bad traffic stop at all... but looking back on it 20 years later... *smh*
wow, that speaks volumes to your character! i would’ve said i’m on the way to say my goodbyes to my dad and really have to go 😂
I got held for over 3 hours in the freezing cold for a K9. I got pulled over because the dealer license plate frame covered 1mm of the N and J in the words new Jersey. Honestly, the search probably wouldn't of stuck anyway, but the cop was so mad when the dog didn't hit. They wasted like six cops for 3-4 hours for absolutely nothing.
I got pulled over in VA for like 5mph over the speed limit. Asked to search my van and I said I don't like people going through my stuff. Said fine was getting the dogs after about 30 minutes comes back saying the same thing had a more important call and gave me a speeding ticket for 5 over. I'm in Michigan and wasn't planning to go back to Virginia, so never paid it and it never showed up on my record. Michigan doesn't honor out of state tickets.

Years ago I was a reporter in Western Mass and we covered the drug busts thoroughly (I-91 up from New York and Connecticut to northern New England and then into Canada is a sizable trafficking route). And 9/10 busts would be because the driver had no plates, or no insurance, or was going 95 in a 55, or had a headlight out, or something really avoidable and dumb. Almost never would the bust be the result of an actual investigation
And being colored

Bruce reminds me of my mom's side of the family. I feel like he would be such a cool dad to have. So chill and funny, and he clearly loves his kid.
He does give the greatest most wholesome fatherly legal advice! Wish my Dad was as accepting and loving as Bruce. It's awesome that they work together (I have this type of relationship with my mom though and I'm grateful for it).😊
He actually talked about the fact that he didn't think he was a great father all the time, which makes and a great father..humility and insight is what makes him so awesome, imo
If a cop ever tells you not having your registration “is fine” you’re in a world of trouble
Not entirely true last time I got pulled over I couldn’t find my registration that was buried in my glove compartment and he’d just let me go with a ticket
I got pulled over without proof of registration and without proof of insurance. Just bought the car and didn't put copies in. He told me it was fine and ran my plates and got all that info and told me to put copies in when I got home. No ticket.
Cops already know whether your registration is current just by running your plates, as well as whether or not you’re insured.
Some states don't require you to keep registration in the car, such as Kansas
Not every state requires registration to be in the car. It’s also kind of unsafe because typically it’ll have your home address on it.
There needs to be an odor sensor for marijuana to stop cops from fake searches.
There is no such thing lmao, it's called a dog, it it existed they would use it to bust you
It's called a nose foo😂
@@WOLFFMAAN8714tbf, ive had a cop say "yeah i smell a heavy odor of weed in the car" when......i had been clean and sober off everything for about a decade, the real reason was because im hispanic and drive a nicer car so they went "oh brown guy with a nice car? obviously a criminal" 99% of these searches are just based off racism
2 hours later, a dog sniffing me multiple times and my car panels being ripped off, my person being searched 5 different times guess what they found? *nothing*
All these clowns never got "I smell marijuana"
Also, a dog hitting on a vehicle to search, is as reliable as a coin flip.
Literally a coin flip.
Using dogs to search people is ridiculously unconstitutional, even just at face value where you can't face your accuser., but the face that the dog just randomly hits on anything it thinks the cop wants to?
Absurd.
this wasn't fake and they always find the source of the odor which is the weed
Obeying the law to the letter when driving has always been a policy of mine. Life is as hard as you make it sometimes.
Comment of the day!!👏🏾👏🏾
Yeah because US police forces are extremely predatory, cruel, ruthless, bloodthirsty, and totally lack any compassion or empathy. They can't be bargained with, they can't be reasoned with. They expect total and complete submission and blind obedience from you.
They are merely mindless automatons who blindly obey the commands of men in suits and ensure their laws are followed, and to catch anyone who steps out of line. Their job is to abduct you by any means necessary to drag you to a guy in a robe so he can punish you.
Your only (legal) means of defense, is via an attorney you'll have to hire for a massive fee to argue on your behalf in a courtroom.
Speak on it... sometimes you have to be apart of your own rescue....

Over an hour of Bruce dropping knowledge. A+++
Bruce, I don’t know if you’ll see this but I think you should post a link for the organization called Never Use Alone, when talking about fentanyl. I know you’re telling people to not use or how dangerous it is, but this organization could use help, and it’s kinda amazing. They take calls from users and save their lives by having them unlock the door and if they become unresponsive, they call an ambulance. They need volunteers and it’s a life saving option to help keep our families safe. Harm reduction saves lives.
Thank You
I'd be happy to volunteer! Where do I sign up? I'm a retired mental health professional and am looking for a volunteer opportunity.
@@slister45excellent 😊
So if you’re a user and you’re about to use, you call a number and talk to someone while using? You give them your address and unlock the door? Then if you stop responding, they call 911 for you?
That’s a wild idea. I’ve never heard of it. I lived in Vancouver for like 3y, they had a place called Insite (sp) or something like that. It was a safe injection site. They had medical staff like nurses or whatever I assume, and you could go there and inject and obv if you OD’d you’d immediately get narcan’d etc. I’m pretty sure they had clean needles, pipes, alcohol wipes, cottons, cookers, little things of clean water, bands you tie around your arm, etc etc.
They weren’t (I assume still aren’t) allowed to touch you, like they obv can’t inject you lol. But they’ll oversee it and make sure you’re doing what you’re doing as safely as possible. Obviously it’s inherently unsafe, but it’s a million times safer in places like that. Vancouver even had a truck, or trucks idk, that you could call (24/7? If not then close) and they’d deliver you clean supplies, and take your used syringes (had to be in a used Sharps container they’d give you) to dispose of them safely.
It was a huge culture shock, I can’t fathom something like that existing near where I currently live…and I’m not far from Detroit. I’m sure there’s prolly places you can go to get clean stuff, I know some pharmacies will sell you syringes (they can refuse, or could when I knew about this stuff like 10y ago…idk if they can now or what) though. But I’ve never seen a whole kit like that where it’s a little cooker, a cotton, sealed little water vial, alcohol wipe or w/e, a rubber band you can use to tighten around your arm, (if you’ve seen movies like that they use belts a lot, these are like bands they would have at physical therapy or something) legit everything. Then if you want, glass tube and all the stuff like filter etc to make a pipe for you can prolly guess.
You could also get narcan free I believe? Or at least cheap. I think that’s a thing now in the USA, prolly not all states but def some you can go in to a pharmacy or w/e and get narcan free. You can say it’s enabling addicts, but honestly it’s saving them. Like you just hope they live long enough to finally want to get clean, and when you do they had the services there. It’s not like here where it’s all backwards, like I believe in Seattle or Oregon they decriminalized drugs. But it went super poorly bc they didn’t set up the infrastructure before actually passing the bill. Insanely ignorant.
I think it’s Portugal where p much everything is decriminalized, my friend grew up there, lived there until he was like 25. They actually get you help if you want it and it’s not a bajillion dollars for a decent facility. I know in some countries they’ve done trials where ppl who haven’t been able to quit H by using a substitute like subs or ‘done or anything, super long time users, they prescribed them exact doses of pure H. They’d go maybe 2-3x/day? Idk exactly, but I know these ppl were able to get off the street, get and keep a job, all that.
The USA is just so far behind so many places and they don’t seem to care. It’s a legit full scale crisis but they just throw users in jail (maybe you’ll get rehab instead if you’re lucky, depends how much you’re caught w, where you are, etc) and the war on drugs rages on. Purdue with OCs and that disgusting BS, obviously they shut it all down, so ppl go to H. Then they start busting ppl for H all over, prices skyrocket, they clamp down on prescribing any pain meds so much to where I’ve known two ppl with diseases that aren’t curable and cause crazy pain, and so many of the Drs either have no clue what they’re doing, or they’re petrified to lose their license from “overprescribing.”
So now unless you find a very compassionate dr and a great practice, you’re treated like a criminal for getting your legal prescription pain meds you can’t get out of bed without bc it’s so debilitating. I’ve seen drs give ppl 60 perc 10/325s for a couple pulled teeth, and I’ve seen someone with a chronic illness that causes obscene pain not be able to get more than like Tylenol 3s. It’s nuts. They also don’t care, or many don’t about weaning you off of pain meds after they’re pumping you full of them after a horrible accident or something. They’ll just cut you off one day sometimes, and not bc you did anything wrong.
It’s all really gross, and they wonder why F is so prevalent now. They can pull as much as they want off the street it doesn’t matter. It’s literally made in a lab, there is no end. Ban the precursors, they’ll find a new way to make a new analogue or a way to get the chemicals anyway.
People were infinitely better off when H was the main issue. Now it’s F, and there are 100s of analogues varying from a fraction of the strength of morphine, to literally some that they use to put down elephants and stuff with a couple milligrams on the tip of a dart that knocks out a fully grown elephant near instantly. Talking 30, 50x stronger than pure F. Some even stronger but they do obviously exaggerate. But there is absolutely stuff that’s 30-50x stronger than F and it’s not like impossible to find. Maybe 5-8y ago, you could order it online extremely easily domestically before CN cracked down on it more. Still very possible to get and is being made. Not that stuff, but F is all over. Any opioid pill you buy on the street, decent chance it’s F. Any H? Strong chance there’s at least some F in it.
It’s just insanity. Truly.

A Kilo of heroine and more than 150k of fentanyl pills. This cop saved so many lives with one stop is beyond count.
The heroin probably has more fentanyl in it than the pills do.

Exactly! These people are in possession of poison that kills people everyday . They are disgusting and deserve long prison sentences.
Like it won't take a day max till the same amount is transported down the same road. How naive are you people?
All that cop did was extend some lifes for a day or two - I mean that's not nothing, but still a very temporary fix.
This isn't even a drop in the ocean. I hear about 10-20 tons busts where I live (europe) and no one ever had any trouble scoring.

"If he smelt it, you dealt it." Fucking legendary, Bruce.
This mom should be charged with all of it. She's obviously the experienced and has definitely done it before. To bring her son along and make him drive is ridiculous. On top of that it's her car and she tried to spin it as "we both own the vehicle."

That's his pregnant girlfriend 😆 🤣 I sure fuck don't hug qnd play in my moms hair she too young be his mom
She actually didnt have anything to do with it do your homework he was trying to make money and brought mom to seem extra normal and ended up snitching
I couldn't agree more. It's despicable.
This video is so real to me on a deeper human level. When I hear about these cases on the news I process the facts of “x” amount of fentanyl, “x” amount of heroine, etc. The mother & son bluffing at the beginning of stop progressed to unmitigated fear. It was dangerous to release this video. I’ve never thought in terms of who else is watching on the physical highway or on UA-cam.
Same. I’m going to research this case and see if I can find anything else out because I don’t understand how in hell they released this footage. No blurred faces, no blurred vehicle, and his admittance to help them not redacted. My first thought is “maybe they’re already dead”.
This cop is so good with his investigative approach and his questioning. He so casual and inconspicuous in the manner in which he does everything. I'm impressed at his professionalism. Everything that he's doing decreases the raising of suspicion, which would decrease his safety and increase risk to him. It was also smart to have the occupants step far away from both him and their vehicle and has gain possession of the vehicle keys.
I used to commute on the bus. Every morning this young woman always walked to the front of the line. She would whine until someone let her get on. Then she never had enough $ for bus fare. Every day $1.25 short. She did it so much they banned her from the bus.... turned out she was trafficking drugs from Tacoma to Seattle.... every day.... these were commuting busses left every 5 minutes. Talk about self sabotage 😂😂😂
And she didn’t make enough for an under $2 bus fare!? She must have gotten her payment in dope or something!! I was offered $3500 to do “a run” to Texas. Would have taken me a day there & back, I was really needing the money but it just wasn’t worth my freedom… my life. That was years ago when I was much younger I’m glad I didn’t do it. I did some super stupid shit when I was young but never anything to do with heavy drugs like that… and never did any time for my stupid shit. Thank goodness! I feel sad for both mom & son. Idk why they were doing it and who’s idea it was or whatever but damn … his life is for sure over & hers too most likely since the car is in her name. And now that this is all over the internet, and if they did end up snitching… they are as good as dead if they aren’t already 😞

I saw that video a couple days after it came out and immediately thought "these guys need Bruce Rivers, the criminal lawyer." 🤣 Love hearing your reaction/perspective!
super entertaining video, was not planning on watching it all but got hooked
I used live outside of Albuquerque and had to drive on the I-40 all the time. We got stopped once for literally doing 2 miles over the speed limit. They separated my husband and I to make sure our stories matched of what we were doing (NM state Police does that to everyone, they go talk to the passenger while checking the VIN, like he did here). I can't tell you how many times I saw pulled over cars being searched. Definitely don't speed on the I-40, especially if you're trafficking drugs! 😂
Why did you give them a story. Tell the truth you came from their moms house and your going to the dads house. They are swingers looking for fun. In other words, where you were is none of their business if they want to know get a warrant and ask goggle.
NMSP are some tricksters. I’ve noticed lately they tuck their cruder into the little what I’ve coined ‘ass crack’ that’s under the ramp to enter paseo from I-25 and run their radar waiting for people to pass👀 and the shade covers up their cruisers so well you’ll never see that cop unless it’s reported on Waze or it’s too late.😂
Was it a little town? I'm from a small town and currently as well.
Cops will pull you over at 5 mph over, jaywalking, dumb parking infractions, etc. That's how the town makes their money. Meet their Quota. They're supposed to tell you that, but we all know that they're bullshitters anyway.
Yep! Albuquerque is the hub where I-40 and I-25 meet…drugs, gangs, and human trafficking. Used to do volunteer work when the women’s prison was in Grants.
Breaking bad so it’s notorious for drugs
The weed smell thing was always too subjective. I never smoked a thing in my life but ive gotten "Do i smell marijuana/weed?" almost everytime ive been pulled over. But i look like a hippie so they think its an easy fishing question.
Omfg this man is a comedian! I cried laughing when he said… “I’m a victim of domestic abuse so please don’t take my fentanyl and heroin” and then audibly laughed so loud when the cop asked the woman so which one is your bag and he says. “The one without drugs”.
He knows he's going to be thrown under the bus.
Yeah that kid is probably dead already if they didnt get him on the street they will catch him inside
So GD funny
Also what a weird way to spend time with mom… generally my mom and I would go for coffee and the book store or something.
This cop was awesome. Very kind and respectful and even when they were being annoying he took the time to explain to them.
I used to garden with my Mom, times have changed.

Yep and more pills will be trafficked through no problem. Its just not something that can be prevented no matter how many successful busts they get
I think they said $160,000 worth... I guarantee you that's incredibly exaggerated. Please always used ridiculous metrics to come up with their figures. I mean I don't doubt it's a shitload of the drug Don't get me wrong but I bet you it's a lot closer to like 30 or $40,000 to the versus 160

With a lowball street value of $20 per pill, that load was worth a minimum of $3.2 million dollars. The cartel paid that kid $20,000 bucks just to make the run, they wouldn't pay that kind of cash to move $160k in pills.
He went with th...
"if i speed, i will be on the road less time; therefore, im less likely to get caught" logic
This is a smart officer. He separated them to get stories, even though this was ostensibly just a traffic stop and he’d have no reason to do that… which means he’s learned this from experience that these people could be smugglers and they may not have matching stories and etc etc
He isn't That smart for doing that, it's a well known tactic of law enforcement.
He also performed a warrantless entry of the vehicle and illegally expanded the scope of the traffic stop. Once he gave the warning, the stop was over. A federal public defender will have this case tossed out, and a decent defense attorney will get it tossed in state court.

I lost my brother to fentanyl, but he was a nurse and we have a bad feeling it was intentional. That shit is no joke and being a mother to 2 beautiful boys it scares the shit out of me. I preach to them all of the time and use my childhood experiences with my mom as examples, hoping it scares them enough to stay the hell away from that lifestyle, because going through what I went through with my mom scared me enough to never ever buy illegal drugs. It just scares me so much. It's heartbreaking.

You're in my prayers ❤ 🙏
Lost an aunt, and her daughter from another marriage that was kind of my cousin. It was enough to make me get off the hard stuff.
614, my sincere condolences for your lost. That's so sad, why staying away from drugs n the folks that use them. You never know what the cutter put into such drugs for earning more $$$. I was a pot stoner at 14 to 18. I sign up for Israeli service n they literally saved my life. I never believed in myself until then n I had a new awesome brothers n sisters that honestly cared for each other. After Infantry/Combat I tried out as a RedBoot n graduated as a paradog. Then hired on a a Israeli IDPS agent n had a blast. It was a cool job for a single guy. But got tired of wearing a suit most days. I miss it alot,,,
When my boyz were young, I made arrangements for them to experience what jail time was like. It was traumatic experience n paid off thankfully. One son got caught up in a stupid alcohol incident. With that experience n knowing my dad will make my life hell on earth. It kept them from being abusive lifestyle n how it will undoubtedly mess up down the road. Oldest boy, a 7th degree Grand Master n dojo owner n AOG pastors. 2nd a submariner n SOFs for a few yrs. He's worked as a smoke jumper n now a regional manager high stress fed. Youngest boy n his wife are both MDs living on a beautiful island I'll never see. Being a hardass dad paid off thank god.

They ABSOLUTELY NEED PARENTS active as a parent n advice coach. 😢 oldest got stupid drunk one night n bought a gal home n slept with him in the basement. After feeding her a good breakfast, she said she never had one like this.😢 Sad,,,
After she left wife just said let it go he's still young. I pushed him upto the wall while mom tried to intervene. I said don't you ever bring a girl home until you're married to her. Don't EVER means Ever,,, We aren't operating a fkin whore house, n you are a quest n son of ours. It's called RESPECT BUD, GOT IT. Never again had a problem. Kids are kids n maybe I was too hard on them, but today they're proud of their achievements n respectful n self integrity n caring for others less fortunate. I can only hope n pray they'll steer their ship towards Jesus Christ n raise their kids how they want. Have 15 gkids today n 8 are adopted from horrible disgusting homes. I gotta get. God Bless...
It's amazing how some people can have this little common sense, and how could someone not feel a little worried that they could get caught to be more careful?
my guess is that if this is something they do normally then they're used to it and the worry faded. that or they were close to their destination and thought they might already be in the clear.

Your brother was a riot back in the old chain gang! Great guy!
If riding with partner, ALWAYS have a story set for the law. That's a Must, That's one way to dissuade suspicions
my law enforcement class in 9th grade taught me that most 9th grades are smarter than most criminals
for context our law enforcement teacher (he was the SRO for the school so double duty) gave each of us about 2-3 minutes to come up with a story in the hallway, then he would bring us in and question us in front of the class. Out of everyone only like two groups stories fell apart.
As soon as the cop started talking snitching, I was thinking, OMG this is out there for anyone to see. Just thinking about snitching will get those folks killed. It truly betrays the soulless nature of contemporary law enforcement.
At least you’re here to keep us clear on the nature of these beasts.
I love this channel. Each video is like a mini movie where the attorney character is hanging out with us.
This!
It so funny when he looks away from the screen to the camera and our eyes meet. 😂
Fentanyl is in basically everything. I am a recovering addict and got clean right before it started getting so bad. I wouldn’t take a damn thing from anybody off the streets. Might as well be playing Russian roulette. When I heard a girl from a rehab in North Carolina saying they’ve been mixing meth and fentanyl out there in the mountains (I’m in TN) I knew it was even worse than I imagined.
I’m glad you brought up the danger on them if they do a controlled buy and this is just out in the open for anybody to see…. Some very close loved ones of mine were involved with the Hondurans (cartel) and if they even THINK you snitch, they will have someone following you. I’m really wondering what their future is looking like and if they’re even going to get out alive with the body cam being out there completely for public view. They’re in danger. Them trafficking all of this in the past…. They’ve technically been a part of many lives lost because of the drugs.
@Annoyethey are pressed fentanyl pills made by a regular person like you or me. They’re not made by professionals in a laboratory like normal RX pills you’d get prescribed.
Shit is in Canada too. Even in the coke and shit.
Tragic...to think..one line might waste you.
@Annoye so theres the blues that most either ingest or snort, the greys ppl smoke. I only know cuz my ex relapsed onto fents. It is in everything!!! Meth, H, everything has fents mixed in. Doesn't matter if its a pill, they just crush or whateva to add it to everything else.
Bro i just found your channel. Another good crime channel to binge too! 👍
Michael truly is a content genius! I had already heard of this case. Interstate 77 South and North going into Iredell County is a long stretch of a County, and they don't play. My family and I go through Iredell to Davie County to visit a Mennonite farm and buy the best raw honey ever. Tupelo is my favorite. Going through there last trip, 7 cars were pulled with about 40 total cars surrounding them in about a 10 mile stretch for trafficking. This happens almost DAILY! You'd think traffickers would re-route and stay away. Nope. Minimum at least 1 car is busted a day trafficking. Maybe 7 in a day, but not 7 in a 10-mile stretch. That was crazy!!!
10:15 the guy started on a self snitch EXTREME!
Edit: Dude, go to the 140 sign, just keep walking. 😂
You realize this is I-40 east bound?
@@Anthony-mw6sm yeah, I guess you're familiar. I-40 intersects with I-77 in Iredell County, NC. These guys were still in New Mexico, weren't they?
I live in Charlotte- 77, 85, 90… big trafficking route.
I could not help but think, "RELEASE THE HOUNDS!", but I'm a veterinarian.
I needed a pick me up desperately after working emergency this weekend, thank you for that.
Love y'all!!!!
Let loose the hounds of war.
Ooo, a veterinarian! I’d like to know if a dog (police K-9) gets a sniff of fentanyl wouldn’t they potentially OD just like humans?
@@utuberhoda they absolutely can! I work with police dogs and they have reversal meds for their K9’s as well
that cop did what he had to do to catch them but it was refreshing to see that he treated them humanly after he found out. I've seen many video where the cops raised hell on them.
Raising hell is so last century. It's not the way to get people to collaborate and every sane cop knows it nowadays.
The cop didn’t have a panic attack masked as fent exposure just by proximity?
He didn't know there was fentanyl until they did the full search and the pills needed to be identified tested.
I love watching Bruce you can learn so much from him thanx for everything Bruce Rivers
They had to be tipped off about the car. The State Police normally don’t flip around until you’re 20 over in NM. What a coincidence that he’s a task force officer for HSI.
That’s what I thought - that car or type may have been on a watch list for sure
He was waiting for him. I can’t believe people think an officer just stumbled upon something like this
i agree, when popo dont normally bust a u-turn like that unless they already had an idea of something like that going down. Although it could just be that the area is burnt af and anyone that fits whatever profile they are looking for and also speeding will get pulled over right quick like that. From personal experience, there were two instances where the cops already were like looking for someone that fit a profile and the moment they saw the car i was driving, my age and gender, the passengers in my car, and ofc the expired tags i got pulled over real quick with the cop giving the biggest load of bs for probable cause, which even if it was bs.... didn't matter cause they knew they knew if the found something (Which they did) they'd get away with it and off to the local popo station i go.
Federal HS doing traffic stops? Seems a little strange,
@@jimarcher5255 I'm guessing a Federal agency partners with a State police agency. So the State policy do the basic policing work and then "switch" to their Federal authority to do the Federal Agency things.
Don't comment a crime while committing another crime... Don't talk to the police and always require a warrant ... the best advice you could ever give anyone at any time
Words to live by. I only crime one at a time.
Also... don't commit a traffic offense, or easy to catch misdemeanor while committing a felony.
I'd amend that to "don't commit a stupid, obvious crime while committing another crime" sometimes you just gotta double up, for instance "mishandling of a corpse"
"don't write 'comment' when you mean 'commit' " is another good maxim to live by
You could shorten your original post to "Do not commit crime" pretty simple.
@@powerboon2k lol my bad... I have spelling issues. It's really a memory issue mixed with some dyslexia

Good work Michael
Great job, content genius!
Man Granny must be a thug. She makes meth in the basement, she traffic’s pills and smokes weed, I’m always excited to see what granny had been up to😅

Super eerie. The fact this video is open and available and not blurred. Ik that they sold and that's bad but still... scary for them..
by the time they're out, nobody will even remember this video probably
@@davidmb1595they won’t make it out. the type of people that supply a trafficker with 2kilos of fentanyl & a kg of heroine are the type of people to kill you in prison for attempting to snitch on them.
Dude … they’re either dead or in very protective custody
But they even get found after being moved & names changed for PC

Unlikely the cartel will forget about this? @@davidmb1595
I wish all cops approaches people in this subtle manner and still maintain professionalism. Its rare nowadays to see good cops.
no its not your dead wrong...whats not rare is this scum contributing to the misery and dread of other people...rare.
What? every cop I’ve met was nice besides one out of dozens 😂 I do know though if you have any type of record they will be cautious!
It isn't rare. Most all cops are nice, decent people. You sound like you get all your opinions from the MSM.
@@NickyBlue99 Until it happens to you. Continue to deny reality. When one cop misbehave and the rest of the team backs him/her up or make false statements, they all becomes bad cops. Stop watching fox news.
@@NickyBlue99 Most all cops are nice, decent people.
Lies.
Anxiety level 💯 !! Thank you for the intense explanation Mr Rivers❤
Another tip if your wanting to traffic drugs; don't.
Find a whiteboy who can talk to police but doesn't look like J Roc. And don't traffic weed lol.
I had a cop do this with me in Oklahoma when I was driving my friends car cross country, I never heard of them asking you to sit in the passenger seat of their vehicle. A cop told me it's a method they use to study your body language and see how you respond to questions. I was sooooo nervous because cops scare me, was going at *least* 20 over & I was driving someone else's car and didn't know if they'd believe me. But he ended up just giving me a warning. Luckily I didn't bring weed with me on that trip, in the event that I got pulled over for any reason. I don't carry weed in my car at all anymore since I got a small charge 5 years ago. Learned my lesson, like many don't.
I can't believe you indulge in the devils lettuce. I will pray for you.
@@ivanahtoong8492I can't believe you judge others. I'll pray for you
I am laughing loud at your impressions. thank you. I've had a terrible few weeks taking care of my mother. I needed this.
Sorry about your mom hope things get better
Get her signed up w home service care she qualifies through Medicare (usually the lowest is 8 hours a week & they have respite care if u are her care taker) so, I’d take advantage of all services she qualifies for👉u can find out by contacting the elderly services in ur area & they’ll guide u from there👉take the pay they’d pay u for whatever hours she qualifies for 8/hrs wkly for being her caregiver👉Good Luck💚
28:28 Your right because as someone who has panic attacks I can see the signs that she is as well in the way she’s taking those shallow breaths, can barely speak etc.
My sister died of a fent overdose. My best friends brother wasn't even a drug addict and took a fake blue one time and died. I got into them bad (because of my sister) at one point where I could do like 15 30mg (IR) at once and not feel a thing, but I knew they were real at the time. I would never mess with them now.
People with out any tolerance to opiates are more susceptible. If he had been an opiate user it wouldn't have killed him.
I understand. Where I grew up has always been drugs everywhere and a lot of my friends started with xans then blus now they are doing h. It’s really sad and I know of about 15-20 people who passed due to fent being cut with other drugs or confused for coke. It’s really sad. It used to be fun to experiment a little. Now that stuff is in everything. It’s not good at all ! I really hope more people will stop using and just smoke weed or drink in moderation. Maybe some shrooms but this hard stuff is not it because it is cut before it gets here and when it gets here some dealers cut it more so you never know the actual dosage. Very dangerous stuff. I cry sometimes just knowing some of the people grew up with are not here when I made it out and have kids now and get to go thru life. I know kids who died at 17. It’s a sad sad time. Prayers to everyone experiencing this. It’s just not fair.
Was 60-100 a day on very strong blues but I’m almost a year sober
@@michaelcorcoran8768 yeah i understand tolerance, I'm just saying it could happen to anyone. Even people that just do it once. Usually the real junkies are the ones that don't die (unless they get clean).

YES, absolutely Speed When You're Trafficking 160,000 Fentanyl Pills so the police can get you out of the streets and we can have better lives. This CLR Bruce is advocating for crime. WOW.
Yes I love him, so funny!! 😂
As a mother, I'm having a hard time understanding his mother. She knew what he was doing. She was even with him supporting him. Why? I never would have been there supporting him in this! I have always been there for my children, and I have 8 of them, but I never would have been there knowing what they were doing. Never!! Really makes me wonder if mom has her own issues and she talked her son into doing this for her.
Mom may be the main person, and she got her son to drive the car.
My parents probably would support me too there... Some parents arent meant to be ones
Don't judge people by your own experience... it might help explain them better. Oh, and always assume a level of insanity in others.
Bc she's not just a mother. Are you a Latina? This woman looks to be from Mexico, are you from Mexico? Most latinos are born poor, in real poverty, not trailer park or hood poverty, which is an upgrade for those not born in the US. Is that your situation as well? If not, then STFU with your judgement and stay on your back with your legs wide open since that's what you decided to do with the only life you get. In your delusional eyes, that makes you a million times better than the mother in this video.
Greed over love for her son. It upset me to watch him hug her so much
Nah bruce was right about that. I remember I got pulled over with a loaded firearm in the car knowing I wasn’t supposed to have it and I was farting so bad 😂. You instantly want to 💩 yourself.
Bruce you're exactly correct to state that this is irresponsible of the authorities to release this body cam footage!
If they gonna be like this why can't we hear the F in 911 calls from they collage student Idaho 4 case!?

ALL of this footage should be released to the public, might deter future mother son drug mule teams of doing what they did for fear of ending up on UA-cam.
@@miketexas4549for all we know the cartel has some dirt on them and was forcing them to traffic. We don't know the whole story.

Doesn't matter what you do if you've been set up or snitched on there are so many mundane stupid traffic laws out there that will always give the cops a reason to pull you over if they truly want to.
Very true, I used to work overnight in a hotel and cops would swing by all night because we had the best 24/7 coffee(free to law enforcement). One told me once that the traffic code was a very thick book and that if you’re driving, you are always breaking the law. They just don’t enforce everything unless they really want to stop you
But if your just driving down the road, do not give them a reason.
@@williammoore5081when that happen they manufacture a reason, like you failed to signal when you did. You didn’t come to a complete stop when you did.
That only happens if they have a reason to look for you. If your just a part of the crowd and you don't give them a reason, you can just continue on your way.@@chrisbenefield9963
Dude He was setup, think about it. Random Homeland drug task force guy pulls over a speeder AND DOES A VIN CHECK?!? The huge amounts of drugs BUT ONLY 1 JAR OF WEED? That weed was put there so the smell gives probable cause. Also if he truly meant to enforce speeding law, then WHY would he issue a WRITTEN WARNING FOR 93mph?!? He didn't care about the "speeding" they were looking for this specific vehicle the whole time. They were 100% screwed the very moment they got in that car and started driving. It had to of been an undercover operation with someone in with the cartels or something. It truly makes no sense why you'd haul alllllll that, but only a single jar of weed c'mon now think about it.
In Germany, it is mandatory to carry a warning triangle and a first aid kit in the car. Our police takes advantage of this by checking both at every traffic control and also taking a look in the trunk. But you can get around this by storing it somewhere else in the car :)
In the US you can buy a car air freshener just about anywhere… they look like a tree or some shape and have a band on the top to hang them from the rear view mirror. Well, in most states they give the cops a reason to pull you over! They call it an obstruction of view which is a traffic hazard 🙄 They don’t actually care about the stupid freshener… it’s just one of a few reasons they can pull you over and then find a reason/make one up to search it. Most people have no idea about that air freshener. Pretty messed up!
@@CuntillaDevillewow! Thank you for sharing. What about window stickers?
@@CuntillaDevilleyeah we have car air fresheners, greet shaped, skull shaped , lama shaped etc in Europe too.
Wow! I sisn’t know this, thanks for info
I don’t understand how any mother could be involved with something like this never mind with your own son .
Yeah I get that it’s all about the money but I don’t get that either…..no amount of money is worth risking your child going to prison & yourself also .
Not only that but to be distributing these tablets or any kind of substance knowing how addictive they are & that so many die from …….my conscience could not bear it .
I left my husband because of drug dealing and use & sadly he died from an overdose.
My life might be simple & a little boring…….but I’m free.
Such a sad waste of life .
I actually do get it. Some people are desperate for money. Not necessarily to get rich but to make ends meet. Sometimes even good people make poor decisions. What I DONT get is why the dummy was speeding and smoking weed, just begging to be pulled over.
Narcy controlling mothers need a child to be useful and are dispensable
@@kateashby3066
Oh I get that people need money to make ends meet & yes good people make poor decisions you’re quite right & there are always consequences for those choices no matter how desperate we are to make ends meet !
There’s no sugar coating it …..many aren’t trying to make ends meet their In it for greed ……the name brand seekers , clothes, jewellery, mansions……what ever .
But no way in hell could I be involved in something that would see any of my boys go to prison!! I’d have to get extra jobs .
And as I said the people who die from overdoses or live an addicted life effecting babies they carry , stealing to support their habit & all the rest of it .
It’s a vicious cycle that affects many & benefits no one in the end .
Oh……& I have the utmost compassion for addicts and help many taking groceries to their families because they can’t feed their children. So I’m not trying to be mean or harsh but it’s just not worth it . There are so many other ways than putting anybody’s life at risk.
And I also say if these dealers sell drugs to your child/ children/ grandchildren……who ever you love ……..& they become addicted or die ………just remember……..they were only trying to make ends meet.
@@kateashby3066Well, this one was desperate for more Luis Vuitton bags.

The fent epidemic is so sad. Only about 6 years ago we didn’t have this issue. Sure it was probably around but now it’s so strong and cheap to manufacture that it’s literally not safe to take any pills that you didn’t get from the doctor yourself
Bathtub cocktails have been killing people for 100 years.
Can't stop watching all these videos. Would have been nice to have this advice in my high school days.
War on drugs, Drugs won.
I’m surprised at how awesome the police officer was. The guy seems to be operating under the belief that secondary locks on the bag renders it outside the parameters of a car search.
