It seems that the threshold for drug evidence is getting pretty low. There seem to be increasing reporting of arrested offenders turning 'witness' and giving up low level users to appease the arresting/investigating officers who are more than happy to deploy SWAT/tactical teams under the guise that it is a drug bust.
It becomes especially fucked up when they invite Reality TV crews along for the ride....
