How do police dispose of illegal drugs?

[5cupa]

hmmm sounds like a bit of a exageration to me...if it never got declared how would they know.

[Bunjiweb]

its like anything.... You might know one of the guys at work is stealing stuff, but does he get found out? Not usually..

And no, it wasnt an exageration at all, they said it used to be a "hidden perk of the job"...

Sold back to the general public at a profitable rate

The police realise that they're not going to win the war on drugs, so they might as well make some cash on the side.

Seriously.

Not.

I could've sworn you meant it...

[yamangman]

Let's face it, an amount of seized drugs are used for purposes other than what they're meant to, simply enough. An amount is more than what should be, what should be is none at all.

They should store it all for like 5 years, then legalise drugs, then sell it all. Perhaps make it illegal again then repeat

incinerated most likely

however, some i imagine gets kept by coppers.....stuff like weed and small fry took off kids on the street probably isnt worth the paperwork im sure some is just kept

alcohol and stuff is sometimes poured down the drain infront of under 18s, which i can imagine is really soul demeaning after the time spent trying to get served for it ! a mate of a mate tho once told me they took a 24 crate of some lads....took it down the station and had an after hours party

who knos

I'd imagine most of its incinerated, with the aid of some silver rizla's..........

If its anything like over in the US, it's call Dispo Day (short for Disposing). The incinerators are at different locations and the people that run the incinerators have to keep tight lipped about the day, and gets paid when the jobs done.

[ERU]

so where on earth do all these dodgy smoke plumes go? I can see it now - "100 tons of cannabis get done in Birmingham City centre and Chris Moyles telling us about everyone being whacky all day"

[nichomach]

Unfortunately, the incinerators filter the smoke and burn at a VERY high temperature, so standing downwind won't help you - although I well remember ribald comment a few years ago concerning Dover Customs £1.5m new "giant bong"...

Yeah, and during transportation a funeral procession followed by two motorcycle cops will get rammed by a ditzy woman in a station wagon causing the armed security to stop. The funeral procession will actually turn out to be an ambush and a member of SWAT and the cop driving the drugs will get killed. Speedle's gun will jam and he'll be shot by one of the gunmen (all armed with Tec 9's) but not before Horatio Caine manages to kill one of the gunmen and injure another. After about 50 minutes of investigation it will all turn out to be masterminded by a TV reporter...

I saw last nights CSI: Miami too

[Proplus]

You only saw it last night? I watched that episode over 2 months ago!!

[jimborae]

So how do they dispose of drugs? Depends on the manner they were obtained.

Is it from season 1 or 2? I'm not too sure as I only recently started watching this CSI stuff. It seemed new to me though.

[Proplus]

Season 1, epsiode 18.

[Oakey]

Ah cool. Any ideas when Season 2 will be shown in the UK?

Wasn't the season finale when Caine went to New York?
