I'm confused. I know LE busts in on this little game every once in awhile, but why on earth do you guys think they are after your dollars? How in the world does that benefit them? They do not get a cut, bonus, %, or anything legally from it or any other bust. My understanding is that their funding is set ahead of time.
Busts suck, and I hope I am never part of one, but I don't think they are based in greed.

They rarely care about what 'is right', 'best for society', or 'rehabilitation'. Their JOB is to punish and look good.
If you ever doubt it observe a courtroom some day and listen to some of the ABSURD, NONSENSICLE SHYTE that is being said.
REALLY??? Do they really believe the crap they are spewing? Obviously not because I've had LE come through my door in the past, and they flat out TOLD me. This bunch of laws governing the hobby is COMPLETELY based on GREED, EGO, and envy. Some of them couldn't get laid in a whorehouse mostly due to attitude.........and they're MAD about it.
But having said THAT, let me say THIS! (Preachy part 2)I KNOW that cops, just like Teachers, are GROSSLY underpaid and have to deal with the WORST human element on a regular basis. It's a tough job. I love LE with good attitudes and hold back no amount of praise for the job they are doing. Just like I thank soldiers on the street, same idea.
Here's my PLAN. When I RULE THE WORLD Every time there is a huge bust (NOT the hobby, REAL CRIME!!!) with those mountains of cash I think that every officer and detective on the case should be given a $1000 or so bonus on the spot. We'd have to work out the details but MAN would THEY HAVE A BETTER OUTLOOK if they could pay their bills for doing one the most dangerous, shitty jobs in the country! Instead of lining the pockets of God knows who, put the money where it belongs.
I mean, think about it.
