The thing not be discussed is the fact that often these small charges are utilized to solve a problem that can be harder to deal with. Grandson won't leave grandma alone. "Hey, here's some meth in his pocket. Lets just take him in for that."

There was a property I passed almost every day that was an obvious drug house. One day code enforcement came by and, wow, they found an active lab. Police often use round about ways to solve a problem. This can create problems if abused, but taking away the tool can cause just as many problems.
