What’s something you wish people would stop doing/saying to you at work?

Except the way it usually pans out IRL is that someone is stopped or a vehicle is stopped and actual drugs are found. If there is a reasonable grounds to believe that what is found is beyond what could be considered normal for simple personal possession (like finding 1 bag or wrap versus finding 20) or there is some other evidence that suggests possession with intent to supply (PWITS), such as scales, multiple mobile phones, large sums of cash or a bunch of little plastic bags, then this gives the police more than enough reason to then begin an investigative process which includes searches of properties and vehicles linked to the person to establish if there is relevant evidence to the offence (like if you suspect PWITS and you find a block of cocaine in their living room being cut up along with a list of names and quantities bought) which furthers the case. Plus policing particularly for drugs offences now is increasingly intelligence-based. They’re not just pulling over cars because it’s a Tuesday and they don’t like red cars, or choosing a random house because it’s an odd number or something. They’re usually acting on active tip-offs or intelligence which has been gathered from both police themselves and also the public (either 101, Crimestoppers or another avenue). If you know a known drug dealer with 14 convictions for dealing drives a red Audi A3 with registration AB12 XYZ and they’re seen to be doing multiple trips to 123 Madeup Street at all hours because the neighbours complained and you’ve found his name on mobile phones seized in other drugs arrests, it’s a substantially good bet to say that the chances are it’s going to be a drugs offence.

Plus I’ve also studied law.
