    Those decades-long and life sentences for smuggling marijuana are what's criminal.
  • @BlackCeII
    It's stupid unimaginable how much money and wasted law enforcement effort has been spent on the war on drugs, especially for non-violent offenders with pot.
  • @Later_Nerd
    Great interviewer. Guy really knows how to keep the conversation moving and redirect awkwardness. Charismatic as hell.
  • @ryanb.4920
    Bro stopping 5 different times for food, that Salmon ain't cutting it.
  • @biglefty08
    USPS and UPS the biggest drug mules in our country 😂
  • @jonathan34114
    Officer claiming the dog has never gotten a hit for no reason then proceeding to find nothing was my favorite part of the video 🤣🤣
  • @cwag07
    took multiple officers hours to search his vehicle, just to bust him for a tupperware container that smelled like weed lol
  • I worked in corrections. I met a guy in his late 50’s who got caught moving close to 500 pounds of marijuana from California to Chicago. He received 30 years in the Feds for it. The way he got caught was a taillight that went out in his rented U-haul truck on I-70 in Kansas.

    Snitching on yourself while wearing a bandana and glasses, thinking you’re safe, is craaazy. 😂😂
  • That La traffic stop is one of the most unconstitutional things I’ve seen in a while. Stopped for “unusual traffic behavior” is wild.
  • @IIlIIlIIlIIlI
    VICE with another re-upload from 2017....classic. 🤣
  • @Rayna-gn3ni
    Let's call it what it is. The numbers speak for themselves. Civil asset forfeiture nets them 16.5 billion a year.

    I don’t think people realize how much personal information he gave out during this interview. The fbi/dea just needs to look for a man with registered growhouse/an overweight nephew aged 22-28, who has had sepsis. This man regularly buys salmon, drives fast, and likely has a criminal record due to drug distribution during his youth. They subpoena the journalist’s phone records, find him, simply tap the phones/track gps and boom, he’s done. He’s already incriminated himself with this interview, even going as far as to demonstrate how to traffic. Please guys, never give out interviews like this. Edit, additionally, as pointed out by comments, he has a tattoo on his arm, making him even more identifiable. 2nd edit: As pointed out by comments, his vehicle is also shown, another easily identifiable marker. 3rd edit: -Tries to warn people not to talk to journalists because it can expose you to the feds and gives for examples from the video. “Lol shut up bro, you’re just a snitch/fed”

    “Ive never seen a dog hit on a car with nothing in it” … then proceeds to find nothing. The dog hit on a random spot that wasnt near the “paraphernalia”
  • @brandonm3750
    I like how my man just sniffed the scale and goes “yeah that’s weed” right at the beginning. 😂😂😂
  • @joesmith6972
    Nobody making $60k a month off illicit activities would agree to be interviewed about it.
  • @SkyFeedz
    wow this aired in 2017 you guys should definitely do a updated video
