Nice to hear a local accent; even if it is screaming for its life.

For both of them. This is idiotic in every possible way. It’s fucking weed, for Christ sake.

I’ve got a feeling that based on his behaviour, he’s there to deal and not just to smoke.
There are a lot of guys that live near me that don’t consider themselves drug dealers but drive around with an ounce or so in their cars. I’m in UK btw

Don’t drive stoned. I was helping a friend by taking them to the store and back, and while they were getting stuff out of the trunk, some guy backed into me hard and a nearly sandwiched my friends mom between their car and mine. Dude was high as a kite.

Yeah, dragging is no joke. They just had a tragic death in Wichita of a 14 year old girl who tried to escape when a car thief took the car she was in, but got tangled in the seat belt

That’s not how this kind of thing looked on TJ Hooker. I’m beginning to think that I can’t believe everything I see on TV.
Seriously, is this what we want to see in the world right now, a drug bust with no gun shots and death?

My thoughts as well - his pupils are like dinner plates…(e.g. dude was meth’d out)
Unlikely in the UK. MDMA or cocaine would be much more common, though likely not for someone sitting by themselves in a car.
