The Alabama hillbilly remains free to harass you the next time you pass through the area. Don't you think it's a little insensitive to stereotype pigs in that particular way? What if they were to read this online and somehow link it to your real name? Who gives a shit? Much better to pay off the cops ahead of time so they won't inconvenience your criminal activities. Do you pay off every cop in the US or merely every cop within twenty miles of your drug route? Whatever it takes, of course. But in practice, there are minimising techniques that will tend to reduce the requirement of paying off every pig in the continental US of A. For instance, if you have the means you might choose to establish a culture of privilage and exclusivity (perhaps via allocating scarce 'access') among the pig population in which the payoffs are only given to pigs who demonstrate loyalty to your drug empire over time. Various selection criterion would apply: don't ask, don't tell; not too greedy; length of service; consistent and courteous attitude. Rookie pigs would have a file opened, and their service record updated each time they interact with your drug cartel's employees. After some arbitrary period, or after the accumulation of enough 'points', pigs would start receiving cash payoffs and perhaps other perqs. As you might imagine, there would need be a detailed and sophisticated system described in order to make for a complete system, and I do not propose to make an exhaustive list of requirements here. I simply think that it could be done if your organisation was sufficiently competent. SOP is to drive unregistered or stolen cars with license removed. Keep a fake new car paper license in the rear windshield. With no way to connect you to the vehicle, response to a traffic stop should be obvious. No need to stop the car if you have a passenger and a few scoped and unscoped battle rifles. Sunroof optional but recommended. Be prepared to repaint the car. Sure. It is unnecessary to have a belt-fed AR or m249 with several thousand rounds mounted in the trunk facing backwards. Using a turn signal or windshield wiper lever to aim is awkward, and so is explaining away bullet holes in tail lights when you're pulled over for that later. I confess that I don't really understand the obsessive preoccupation you people have with firearms. They have their place, of course, as everyone understands the occasional necessity of a well-placed load of number-four buckshot (to the knees, usually), but guns are above all else, a tool. And they aren't the only tool in the arsenel. Far too many people are sidetracked in this way, however, and it's a shame. Just once, can't we have a nice polite discussion about the logicstics and planning side of large criminal enterprise? Regards, Steve __ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca

Re: Stash Burn?
There's laws against destroying evidence, interfering with an officer, interfering with an investigation, etc. If they can prove that you had it and destroyed it, now they can charge you with two crimes instead of just one. (I think I heard once that someone was charged with destroying evidence for taking batteries out of a device when he was arrested hoping to wipe its memory). - Eric Tyler Durden wrote: yes, this reminded me of another brilliant idea.
