LE investigating me for a few months.

I have gotten very very very reliable intel last week that I have been under investigation for a 2 months now. I've seen cop cars parked across the street at night, also they have been driving by more than usual. As of the past 1 1/2 months my house has been clean of any substance but I do have a scale and some packing material that I still need to get rid of somehow. I also have a legally owned handgun.

I need advice. What do I do and not do? The LE do not have solid evidence just whatever and whoever the informant is gave them. I am not a huge dealer, I only resell to friends and mutual friends and their friends. It really pisses me off and getting me down because I have no income and only have a double digit bank account now but I have been putting applications everywhere for the passed 6 months. Also how long do these investigations last? And how are they investigated? I do believe some idiot was drunk or whatever and got caught with my stuff and ratted me out. They may be going as far as inspecting my mail.

“Wanna know what kills police more than bullets and liquor? Boredom. They just can’t handle that shit. You keep it boring, String. You keep it dead fucking boring.”

It sounds like it's vacation time for you.. clean house and get stupid on what you know..a way to maybe end this quick would be start ordering the oddest shit you can offline like I'm talking odd like freaky sex dolls from Japan odd and after a few times off going thru yer mail they may end up coming the conclusion that you are just a perverted werido which is far better then a drug dealer.in their eyes and hopefully leave you alone..it also works as a good fuck.you to them because imagine the oddball shit they will think opening up yer mail and finding pink dildos and fuzzy handcuffs..the look on their faces will be priceleas...good luck man and sorry about yer situation also fuck12

they don't generally do covert surveillance in squad cars bro.

and by "don't generally" I mean "what the hell is wrong with you man"

Try to keep in mind that they might just be trying to spook you, making themselves known and so that they get comfortable that you're not a danger to the community etc etc etc. They may have nothing on you, but they may also have nothing better to do. So unless they have evidence, nothing is likely to happen. Just stay on the right course, keep your nose out of trouble, be a good citizen and this will probably just fade off.

Ditch the scale and baggies - trash them elsewhere that's not on your property or your normal routes (i.e. gas station you dont normally ever buy gas at).

And assuming the gun is completely on the up and up (you have a permit, gun is registered, locked up if required, etc), keep it. They know you have it and they'll expect you to have it.

Law low and sit tight. Move to a new county or new state night to help drop any heat/surveillance.

They don't do surveillance in squad cars but they will just sit and watch for people to bust by your house. Before I got raided I noticed a lot of cops sitting in a parking lot that was outside my bathroom window. And they would always be starring at me when I looked at them.

They are also calling in plate numbers or vehicles that go to know drug houses. We knew that our houses were being watched cause we had a friend who's grandfather was a judge and told them their car was seen at a local house know for narcotics. And that was not long after we noticed a lot of LE traffic around our houses.

And as for how long it will last no way to tell for sure. Most people think the cops are oblivious to their crimes but they usually are not. LE know a lot more than you think they either are waiting for more evidence to make sure you go down for your crimes and the DA and prosecution will not have to fight a lawyer. Or they have a bunch of evidence that they didn't get legally and can't use it in court against you.

LE will have tons of Intel they can't use cause it was obtained through a legal grey area or outright illegal. But it will help them when it comes to catching the one time you slip up.

Man, never keep a registered firearm at a drop address, as soon as the address is under scrutiny, the handgun gives police a good reason to perform a no-knock raid.

What do you mean you've somehow got to get rid of scales and packaging, throw that in the river son

Sounds to me like paranoia has taken control of you somewhat. That's not a bad thing, it shows you're aware of the danger. Danger that I don't think you're really in at this point.

Question, I assume your Reddit account has no attachment to your non-digital self?

If the firearm is properly licensed then you don't need to worry about that. Like others have said, it would only cause more suspicion if they decided to visit and you don't have it there.

If your house has been substance free for the last 6/7 weeks then I don't really think you have much to worry about in that regard.

Get rid of the scales and the packing material although unless the laws in the US are completely fucked, the LE can't actually prosecute for paraphernalia if there isn't physical evidence of substance abuse dealing to make it credible drug paraphernalia (in my head that makes sense).

It sounds to me like the local baked-sugar-ring connoisseurs have only snippets of info. They've probably been told that there are deals taking place in the area and are trying to catch people in the act.

Just live your life as normal as you can, avoid checking them out through your blinds or curtains. If you need to go out, for now save excursions for day time when there are other people and vehicles around. That way if the flatfoots do decide to make a move you'll no doubt get someone recording it and it's evidence like that that can literally swing any legal proceedings.

Their 'investigation' will last as long as it takes until they're happy that drugs are not being dealt in the area.

What makes you suspect they're checking your mail? Are you receiving envelopes and packages that have been opened?

Last thing, don't buy random shit on the internet like someone said. If you're mail IS being watched and you ARE being investigated you want them to see that financially you're worse off than a full time volunteer at a charity shop. The first thing that gives away drug dealers is the sudden influx of money that can't be accounted for that ends up turning into ridiculous jewellery and stupid clothes.

TL;DR, keep the gun where the license requires it. Show your face but avoid vulnerable situations like night time. DO NOT LEAVE THE COUNTRY.

Ditch everything and plan a short vacation. Change up your routines. And most importantly, if raided by the police KEEP YOUR DAMN MOUTH SHUT.


[2 Points] ithrowawayfreequentl:

Lay off the product you are selling bro. I have been there. You know the amount of crimes you have commited and you sit there thinking about it while high... then come to the conclusion that other people also must know how many crimes you have commited and surely the police know as well.

Yea just keep off of ordering shit for another year and you should b ok from there. Keep from going out too much like to parties and all. Like /u/Newb456 said, keep it boring.


[1 Points] stanley_twobrick:

You can't really get pissed off that the cops are investigating your criminal activity lol


[1 Points] Stretches_the_truth:

Can we please down vote this post to shit? I'm tired of all the fucking paranoid people making these posts and over exaggerating, then getting shut down in the comments.

You " only " deal to your friends of friends ? That could mean anyone . " whoever says nothings faster than the speed of light has never heard of gossip"

get rid of the fucking handgun. A gun with drugs is like an automatic 10 years

First let me tell you something important , YOURE NOTHING. as sad as it sounds you're nothing for the DEA or w/e agency is looking for you. You said you re-sell for friends and so. I was under investigation and the best way to run from that is to show them that you're nothing. they probably set an MITM antenna near you're house to check your cell phone calls,messages and stuff. So what you do ? call you're friends and tell them that you stopped doing w/e you did. don't say " I don't sell drugs anymore" say " I stopped with the shit" , send like 10 messages and do calls and some bullshit they will hear that and understand that you're nothing. don't angry them,don't buy sex toys,you just need to make sure they think you're nothing , they wont spend a lot of money on nothing , right ? good day , cat ;)
