California Drug Sting - What Could Go Wrong?

A Riverside County Sheriff’s Department sting operation gone wrong last week put 60 pounds of methamphetamine in the hands of a narcotics trafficker, the department has admitted.
Narcotics investigators with the department were hoping to identify drug traffickers Wednesday during an undercover operation, the Sheriff’s Department said. Deputies posing as wholesale drug sellers met with a suspect who wanted to buy 27 kilos of the powerful stimulant, they said.
The deputies sold the street drug to the suspect, who promptly drove away from the undercover law enforcement team, according to the department.
Other deputies from the gang task force tried to stop the suspect’s car, but the suspect fled, according to the Sheriff’s Department.
The suspect sped away at “high speeds” and exhibited a “disregard for public safety.”
“Why would you let someone get in their vehicle, I don’t know,” said Michael Lujan, a retired captain with the Riverside Sheriff’s Department who lost the election to be sheriff to Chad Bianco last year. “It is pretty embarrassing. It’s unfortunate because now we have additional narcotics out on the street.”
Lujan said he heard the sale was made for $35,000.
Lujan said that a “reverse-buy” operation usually has guardrails in place to stop suspects from making off with narcotics.

I see the pendulum in the war on drugs has swung fully opposite.

Must have consulted with Eric Holder on this operation.

60 pounds for $35K? That would make an honest man a drug dealer.. Borderline entrapment.

Happens with hooker stings all the time. You bang the girl and then she walks off as soon as you pay her.

well the cops asked them if they could arrest them and they refused. so by california law, they are free to go if they dont agree to be arrested
we all know, even if they had been arrested, the prosecutor would refuse the charges

If the roles were reversed, and the cops recovered 60lbs of meth, the street value would be some crazy high number like 53 million

They just needed some money for a shopping spree.

There is a mathematical theorem that states the volume "recovered" is always less than the amount seized.
Amazing fact. Scientists are scratching their heads.
