Re: Cocaine bust at 15st Ft. Lauderdale
One of the fort lauderdale police stations is literally 20 feet away from that ramp! This is their base where there are usually 5 to 15 watercop boats at the dock!!!
What was this guy thinking?

The last time I pulled into Port Everglades I got stopped and searched. A deputy waved me over and when I stopped two divers with automatic weapons in a zodiac, a DEA boat, a Coast Guard boat and chopper surrounded me. They searched my boat and checked my documentation papers and held me for about fifteen minutes.
The sad thing is they looked so disappointed when they had to let me go.

Still not too smart, no matter where you decide to unload

From what I read and hear only about 5% of the incoming drugs are stopped and it's usually by a convict getting his sentence reduced by becoming an informant.
The small-time guy gets caught, police get their headlines, public feels better that some drugs are not on the streets. Everybody goes home happy except the small-time guy who was caught.
Baretta theme song still rings true: "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time."
