Harford County, MD – On Wednesday, we reported that a small Maryland town was put on lockdown for an entire day, as police set up checkpoints in key travel areas of town in an alleged attempt to catch heroin traffickers. Many people had suspected that police were out in strong force ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, searching for drunk drivers. However, witnesses reported that the police were actually in search of drugs, specifically heroin, and they even had massive construction signs posted that said “Heroin checkpoint ahead, Drug K9 In Use.”
We predicted that this was simply a scheme to generate revenue and that the police were simply using heroin as an excuse because of the fact that it is an emotionally charged issue that make people passively accept that nazi-style checkpoints have been set up all over their neighborhood. As expected, the police did not actually find any heroin, although they did write dozens of repair orders, confiscate over $7,000 in cash and seized about 20 pounds of marijuana. All of the arrests that were announced were for marijuana, prescription pills, a switchblade knife and drug paraphernalia. In addition to the arrests, police announced that they wrote 32 traffic citations, 148 warnings, and 18 repair orders.
