Good Job Fruitland. See what those traffic stops can net? They are bustin' them all the time from traffic stops. Most of the time, they only give a warning if you are speeding, they have a bigger purpose and it is not to make the state rich, or them to have to sit in court all day.

We do not have a drug problem here.... DUH

Good job Police Officers!!!

It was probably headed to Salisbury State for our elite College kids... yeah right?

Tear up the neighborhood some more kids, and toss your beer cans and dubies in persons yards, and run across the street without looking in your crosswalk on Camden Ave.

Geography check there, west cedar and 13 south would be going away from the college. By the way, what an idiot, suspended license unregistered and uninsured full of dope.

It wasn't a "traffic stop"....thats the cover story to keep an informant alive...Either the population, as a whole, are using drugs at rates we grossly underestimate (look at all the "traffic stops" that yield drug arrests), or the police have some special powers to just "know" when there are drugs under the console. Since both scenarios are incompatible with current theory, I'm going with "informant" made a call and another "traffic stop" busts a bad guy.

@1:37 Good to see students are to blame for this drug bust. You live near a college, what do you really expect?

And regarding this case...All Drugs charges were dropped! He got the max for all Traffic violations. Think we'll see a news article about that? Nah, not news worthy!
