Have you seen this offer by Police to help drug dealers get rid of their competition?

In Lumberton, Texas the police are running an ad asking, "Is your drug dealing competition costing you money?" Lumberton Police have come upon a creative way to get drug dealers to turn each other in. It has been reported that so far Texas police have made the arrest of a local drug dealer as a result of the add.

Other police departments, as far away as Edinburgh, Scotland have begun to use this tactic and have had similar if not better results.

If we're lucky maybe they'll all turn each other in. ;-)

I was the Commander of the "Fugitive Apprehension Unit" for our State. We had so many damn fugitives that it was damn right ridiculous. So we sent letters out to whatever address we had on file for them telling them that one of their relatives had passed away and left them a sizable inheritance. We set up a fake shop in one of our Cities and you would not believe how many fugitives actually came in to claim their inheritance. You got to love greed. Stupid bastards all ended up wearing fine silver jewelry courtesy of Smith & Wesson.

My own personal feeling about this drug "Sting" Tip if you will, is more for Intelligence purposes? I know that it would be in our State.

I've similar ruses sweepstakes sent to bail jumpers and people with open bench warrents. They'd show up to claim their "prize" only to get arrested after a positive ID made.
