Head-shop CCTV catches police informant/undercover planting crack

"Why does catching the informant on tape mean that the investigators were not behind it? "

it doesn’t, obviously, and i didn’t intend to imply that it didn’t, but the fact that they had no idea that there were cameras in a freaking head shop, i mean come on, it’s been a while since i was in a head shop but they’ve been stacked with surveillance equipment since the late 80’s at least.

my point was, the only bit of doubt in my mind that the pd is not completely full of shit is the fact that apparently nobody had any freaking clue what they were doing. you would expect that a pd that could provide an informant and provide said informant with crack (of course…) to plant would have some vague notion that the whole place was probably on camera. again, laughable stupidity if it wasn’t so fucked up.
