why would it be illegal to sell "a substance represented to be a controlled substance"? People sell snake oil items all the time. Why does the controlled substance side of the equation matter? You're dumb for partaking in meth in the first place, and dumb should hurt.

to answer your question, I'd say he's Stupidly Brilliant for the salt side. I don't know about the money laundering side.

License Plate Cameras Will Soon Track Phones, Wearables, Infotainment, and Even Your Pets

A new kind of license-plate-reading camera will also scrape the smart devices you take with you, and wrap all that data in a nice little bow for law enforcement and the government.

All this surveillance and they still can’t catch all the fentanyl dealers, murderers walk in 16 years on parole, and theft goes unrecovered almost every time. It’s like they just want to fleece us like the mob for “protection”

keeping a large police force, catching crimimals, processing them, housing them, courtrooms, lawyers, more and more tech, databases, labs, police cars and equipment, helicopters, weapons, all the buildings and training...........HUGE business

we wouldn't need so many jobs and so much money taken from us and redistributed if we 'solved' crimes

We could get rid of at least 100MM people/jobs if we just got seriosly efficient.

I have mixed feelings. I have personally seen these devices used to bust up drug rings, terror cells on US soil, track and build a case against dirty cops, and locate serial killers that were then also apprehended by using the technology to coordinate the response.

I hate that they are also used to data mine the general population with the potential to be used for nefarious purposes.

If someone was inclined to try to convince government/law enforcement that these cameras aren’t welcome, all they’d need is a spray paint can on a stick. A blast of rustoleum would prevent the camera from being able to capture images and the owner would have to send out someone with a bucket truck to clean the paint off at great expense. It would take them a few days to coordinate the cleaning and they’d get real tired of doing that, never mind the fact that they’d have a very expensive piece of inoperative hardware. Consider that your tax dollars are buying these cameras systems at $20,000+ each. There’s might be a half million dollars tied up in the Hillsborough St screenshot above.
