Ever Wonder Where The Spoils Go After A Drug Arrest?
If you believe movies and television cop shows, the drugs and money that police seize after an arrest end up in hands of a dirty cop for his own greedy purposes. Here's what really happens according to the Delaware County Sheriff's Office:
"First, it is collected, inventoried, and marked as evidence. Then it is stored in a safeguarded location. After court proceedings, the law enforcement agency receives a 'destruction order' from the court for the drugs to be destroyed via a medical incinerator. This burns drugs in a safe, environmentally-friendly manner.
The money is divided among several law enforcement agencies who participate in the Drug Task Force, plus the Prosecutor's Office. And 10% must be used for drug education!"
Isn't that nice to know? I thought so. Share this with all your friends!
