A reverse buy bust appears to be in the works for the Albuquerque Police Department, but the details of how they plan to go about catching low-level drug users — by becoming ? ? manufacturers — signifies everything inherently corrupt about the U.S.’ war on drugs.

Burque Media exclusively revealed APD’s intentions to become temporary ? manufacturers, after a confidential source shared the affidavit about the impending bust.

“Powdered ? may be taken into APD’s Criminalistics Unit to be made into ? ? ,” reads the Affidavit and Motion to Release Evidence, dated February 25, 2016, and signed by a District Court Judge. In addition to the police-manufactured ? , APD is also permitted to use methamphetamine, ? , and heroin from its cataloged evidence stores to become drug dealers in order to catch individuals who use those illegal substances.

“Once the transaction is completed,” the document continues, “the individual purchasing the drugs will be arrested and charged with Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance. The detectives will attempt to immediately retrieve the drugs sold.”

While high-level, volume-transporting, and sometimes violent drug dealers — created by the illegality of such substances in the State’s failed drug war — won’t be the target of this bust, small-time users will be entrapped by police con-artists and have their lives upended with serious charges. Police, in such a dual operation, become perpetrators of the very problem they claim to be combating — to catch individuals whose only harm is to their own person.


As the anonymous source noted, APD’s bust likely targets the city’s most precariously situated and vulnerable residents: homeless drug addicts.

In fact, APD’s plans are troubling, even for insiders.

“This is a practice I have frowned upon because of the use of seized drugs already tagged into evidence, and I have not seen it for some time,” explained Pete Dinelli, former Chief Deputy District Attorney and former Chief Public Safety Officer, who doubted the veracity of the APD’s plans until the affidavit was filed in court. “It’s downright dangerous to be using drugs seized in other drug busts because of chain-of-custody issues and the risk associated with not being able to track what happens. The city could also be exposed to liability for using tainted drugs that they lose track of.”

Dinelli’s concerns may be justified. As if supplementing the use of logged drug evidence with police-made ? weren’t bad enough, the affidavit points to awareness the APD likely will lose some of its product over the course of the sting.

As Dinelli summarized of the whole operation, “This is a very poor law enforcement practice.”

When even the cops are manufacturing ? , you know the war on drugs is nothing short of a farce.
