Narcotics Interdiction Map | Never Get Busted Again

The US map below shows the locations citizens are likely to encounter drug interdiction officers. Some officers are rated on their willingness to violate the 4th amendment.

All reports were submitted by concerned citizens and have not been verified through any other source. If you have a report of active drug interdiction in your area, please submit your findings to: barry@nevergetbusted.com

Barry will keep you anonymous.

For those who must drive west to east (or vice versa) in the Texas latitudes it is almost impossible to escape Interstate 10 or 20. Prime pickin's is a small motor home with AZ plates on it traveling from West to East on I-20. Here is the gig: around Midland the blacked-out Crown Vic makes a "fighter pass", driving aggressively and scoping out the details of the mark (that would be me). Regardless of what happens next the local (Midland) guys note the time and license plate. Then, around Weatherford (BTW Weatherford is a hornet's nest for narc "fishing") the AZ vehicle is stopped for a fabricated reason (I was stopped twice, once for "careless driving" the other time for 55 MPH in a 65 zone...too slow I guess). The officer then boldly asserts that "you look far too tired to be driving a vehicle safely, how long have you been driving?"
Now, as you well know, there are NO hourly limits to operate a passenger car. If you want to drive non-stop from San Diego to Miami you can legally do it, as long as you do it safely and obey the traffic laws. Commercial truck driver rules are, of course, an entirely different matter.

I told them the same thing on both occasions: El Paso. It stung a bit, but at least it was the truth (and I had the overnight receipts to prove it).

But, what they are hoping for is that the poor sap claims to have started from, say, Abilene or Big Spring.

Gotcha!! Then the officer informs the driver that he has lied (via our friendly report in Midland) and will be arrested for false reporting.

Or, he can consent to having his car search (without a warrant) to avoid the arrest for false reporting.

My first brush was at night and we (myself and the officer in Weatherford) almost caused a massive pile up as he (VERY FOOLISHLY) pounced right at a merge ramp and without thinking I suddenly turned right into merging cars. He was as shook up as I was after seeing it all; his voice was quavering. This idiot almost caused a massive pile up.

But the second one was mid morning and he asked to search my small RV. I told him "no" and he promptly got a search warrant and proceeded to spend the next hour and a half slowly searching my vehicle. If only I could get a mechanic as interested in my RV as this guy was!!

Barry, you have it right! While billionaires are looting the assets right out of America and we fall further and further behind these people add nothing but more weight to the country's overall burden.

My salute to you! I'd like to meet you someday, but I know you are a man with a mission.

Let's hope to God you succeed before correspondence like this will land both of us in a secret jail somewhere.

God Bless,

The arrest Sunday night on Interstate 30 of a Hot Springs man resulted in
the seizure of a quantity of marijuana and more than $3,000 in cash, the
Arkansas State Police said Monday.

ASP Trooper Adam Pinner and Corporal Keith Sullivan arrested a 27 year old man of Hot Springs at the 36 mile marker on I-30 shortly after 10
p.m. Sunday, according to an ASP report.

?I made a traffic stop on a Buick Lucerene for a traffic violation at the 36
mile marker on I-30 eastbound. Corporal Keith Sullivan was contacted to
assist in the stop,? Pinner said in his report. ?I utilized Arkansas State
Police K-9 Tommy to do a sniff of the vehicle and K9 Tommy alerted on the
trunk of the vehicle.? Pinner said in his report that a search was conducted of the car and approximately 11 pounds of ?compressed marijuana? was seized from the trunk, and ?approximately $3,852 was seized from the suspect.?
THE CINCINNATI POST
OCTOBER 13, 2007
Marijuana confiscated
More than 300 pounds of marijuana was confiscated Tuesday as a result of a
routine traffic stop on northbound Interstate 71 in Warren County.
Warren County Deputy Sheriff Brian Lewis stopped a black van for traffic
violations near the Clinton County line. After receiving consent to search the
van, Lewis had his canine partner, Kilo, sniff the vehicle.
Six large bales of marijuana were found.
Anthony Graham, 37, and Winston Thomas, 37, both of Boston, were each
charged with felony possession of drugs and trafficking in drugs. Under Ohio law,
possession of more than 44 pounds of marijuana carries a mandatory eight-year
prison sentence.
"Once again, we are reminded that Interstate 71 continues to be a major
pipeline for the transportation of drugs," Warren County Sheriff Tom Ariss said

The Camden County Georgia traffic trap guide

This is the index of either known or suspected perches that the Camden County, GA Sheriff's Department and/or the Georgia State Patrol use when conducting revenue and/or DWB patrols on Interstate 95 in the State of Georgia.
Anyone who lives in Coastal Southeast Georgia is aware that The Camden County Sheriff's Department has raked in a considerable sum of money from cash siezures from motorists on Interstate 95. The means that they use to accomplsh this is to stop cars for bullshit things; like a few MPH over the underposted speed limit, crooked license plates, burned out tag light etc... stupid crap that has nothing to do with safety on the road and everything to do with a pretext to coercing a unConstitutional search of the vehicle; and then to threaten/intimidate the poor sap into consenting to a search under the threat of arrest, continued delay while they get a warrant, dog etc... Of course, any money found is going to be siezed (again in violation of the US COnstitution) and then it is up to the motorist to prove that they acquired the money legally (again Unconstitutional - what ever happened to innocent untill proven guilty in this fascistic Bush worshipping nation of ours??).

In My Not So Humble Opinion, this is a reprehensible and unAmerican tactic that would make the likes of Adolf Hitler and Joesph Stalin proud. Since the courts are nothing more than republican appointed nazis who rubber stamp approval to the actions of these fascists, about the only thing that the innocent motorist can do is to be aware of his surroundings and be aware of where these vultures are perching. Most of these perches can be found between Exits 3 (Kingsland, GA) and 26 (Dover Bluff Rd) and in the daytime are easily noted by cut-outs in the trees in the medians and paved crossovers in the medians. The cut-outs that get more use can be easily identified by tire ruts in the ground and the in the more heavily used ones, the grass is dead and the ground bare from police cruisers sitting in those spots. Nighttime is much more perilous as all they have to do is turn their lights off and the unsuspecting victim will never see them untill it is too late. However, this is not always the case. Many times at night, you will see them set up perched perpendicular to the road way with their head lights and spot lights shining at approximately window level across the road. Only one reason for this: to dertemine the race of the driver and decide whether or not to pounce.

Of course, innocent motorists shouldn't carry so much cash to beginwith due to the potential for robbery by a non-police crook (and perhaps if the police were doing their jobs and not preying on motorists you wouldn't have to worry about that), but damnit, this is America and one should be able to travel on a cash basis if they wish and should not have to submit to tracking by the banks and the establishment by way of credit/debit card.

One easy way to evade the trap zone would be to just take US 17 from Florida Exit 380 north untill you reach Glynn County and pick up I-95 there and/or to make a oint to not stop and make any purchases in Camden County. This would mean not stopping at Exit 1, Exit 3, Exit 6, Exit 7, Exit 14 or Exit 26 (you can find gas just as cheap at Exit 29 in Glynn County). While I don't condone the trade in illegal drugs (and that is a rant for another day), what the police are doing is in my opinion far, far worse. Police resources could be put to far better use in protecting and serving the public if they were in the neighborhoods seeking out the local dealers and users who are causing problems locally instead of concentrating on the mules travelling the interstates in a business venture. Drugs headed north to places like NYC or Philadelphia, PA etc... are the problem of those localities not ours. Here is where I feel that the police are derelect in their duty to the people because every cop engaging in pre-text stops on an interstate is one less cop protecting the citizens of his juristiction like he swore to do.

So, now here is the list of known or suspected traffic traps in Camden County, GA. These traps are presented in the following format. They are from South to North Beginning at approximately Exit 3 (the Kingsland, GA exit) and Exit 26 (Dover Bluff Rd) and are identified by GPS coordinates in the format deg-minutes. Note that some traps could have multiple perches to them as some of the perches are located within a few dozen or so feet of each other. Also note that this list doesn't purport to be a list of the only places where these predators will set up to pounce. They can literally set up anywhere on the median or shoulder that they want.

Trap No.	North Latitude	West Longitude	Comments
1	30deg 47.96'	81deg 39.63'	Just north of Exit 3, heavily used.
2	30deg 52.53'	81deg 41.08'
3	30deg 54.49'	81deg 41.15'
4	30deg 54.89'	81deg 41.15'
5	30deg 55.38	81deg 41.15'
6	30deg 55.93'	81deg 41.15'
7	30deg 58.94'	81deg 40.18'
8	31deg 01.29	81deg 39.44'
9	31deg 04.36'	81deg 37.35'
10	31deg 05.10'	81deg 36.61'	Heavily used area.
11	31deg 05.49'	81deg 36.27'	Near Exit 26, heavily used.

So, there you have it, the list of Camden County traffic trap perches. In summary, probablly the best thing to do is to just bypass the area on US 17 or other roads, but if you insist on using I-95, you are wise to make sure that your car is in working order and to religiously obey the traffic laws in this reprehensible little county.

Former federal prosecutor and well known lawyer said all the gas station from north carolina down to georgia are involved with Interdiction with the police they see a northerner or sucpicious vehicle van ,box truck. they profile and pull over at state line
Hey Barry and Candi, the DVD was great and inspirational. YourGoofy
clips at the end had me laughing. Well Im writing to try and give a
little info about the town I live in and there interstate drug team.
I have submitted this before in the past on your website but it was
never posted up on your board. So I thought I could send it this way
and maybe it could be of some help and help avoid someone getting
pulled who might be transporting.
Avoid I-95 north and southbound through Lumberton, N.C. there are two
Officers working Drug interdiction on this small stretch of interstate
that starts at exit 10 and goes to exit 22 and sometimes they linger
past that exit to about exit 25. Im a past LEO in this area and have
seen countless peoples lives ruined by these ICE(Interstate Crime
Enforcement) team members.. One officer I actually worked under. His
name is Jerome Morton and he was trained by the legendary Robbie
Bishop. The other officer joined the dept after I left so his name is
unknown to me.
Captain Bishop was shot and killed while writing a citation during a
traffic stop. Captain Bishop was a well known drug interdiction
officer in the state of Georgia who had set state records on
interstate drug seizures. He worked at the Villa Rica Police Dept and
was contracted out to other depts. to train there Drug teams how to
ruin lives.
Several K-9s are available, 4 to be exact and several other surounding
agencies have numerous dogs avaialable.
Usually the stops are made near exit 14. Thats where HWY 74 Crosses
over I-95. the county Jail is located about 1 mile from this location
so it is easy and convienant to stop people at that exit. There is
another officer by the name of Burnis Wilkins, He is the Narcotics
detective at Lumberton PD and he is as crooked as they come. I have
seen first hand him plant something on a stop if he didnt find what he
was looking for. As a matter of Fact Burnis came from another local
agencie that was under federal investigation, Operation Tarnished Badge.
Please avoid this stretch of highway at all cost. These LEO are
anxious to have there picture on the front page of the newspaper next
to a drug seizure. Hopefully this can help someone someday. Keep
doing great things guys. Your biggest fan.
Hmmmm...where do I begin? I think my rights have been violated so many times in Power County than I can count. If your going to be traveling through or in the South-East Idaho area look out for a detective in a while explorer. The windows on the side are tinted VERY dark, but not so much on the front windshield. The tags on his license plates are USUALLY expired. This guy has hemed me up TWICE, and let me tell you, he akes up the rules as he goes along, and will do WHATEVER it takes to get ya, including breaking the law, and violating your rights. Then if he has to, he will go back later and "make" it right. The K-9 unit in American Falls/Power County is just as dirty. I have been followed, harassed, pulled over and searched with the dog (which thanks to your video I NOW know were giving false alerts), threatened, and even after all that let go WITHOUT even a written warning. This all happened when I was 16. When my mother found out what they had done to me and my friends she went down to the sheriffs office to see what the problem was. They coincidentally had no record of them EVER pulling me over in their police log, which the sheriff himelf checked for my mother. This continued until I was finally 18 and they could throw me in jail & search my vehicle. So it's not just one officer you need to be careful of, it's ALL of Power County. No one here plays by the rules. So take heed and listen to me when I say: DO NOT STOP IN AMERICAN FALLS IDAHO IF YOU DO NOT HAVE TOO!!!!! you might end up staying a lot longer than you would like to.
I drive a lot to Bradenton, Florida from Gainesville too see my family while Im at school. Im on the Interstate a few times a week sometimes making the 160 mile trip through I-75. There are a few places I thought anyone traveling through Florida should know about. Paines Prairie State Parkis the absolute worst place to drive through with a problem with their car. I-75 runs straight through Paines Prairie .You know you are in paines prairie when you pass Gainesville Exit 384 Going South Bound, you will see a Rest area on the right and then a huge open swamp. Never Ever speed through there until you get past Micanopy exit 374. Almost every time I drive through there I either see someone pulled over or a police car in the woods waiting. I have seen people getting searched via K-9 on occasion. So, if you are going through there with materials that you do not want seen, do not speed, and have all legal items or you will get pulled. A note though for I-75 State Troopers rarely pull anyone over going under 80mph, but when they do they will ask to search especially if you are from out west. All of the I-75 Corridor in Sumter County is great cause for vigilance. I have two more areas of interest. The exits in and around Zephyrhills on I-75, exit 279 and the surrounding. I-75 around? Mile Marker 232 just after the I-275 exit, there are always Speed Traps, and interdiction is a huge issue. Northbound is probably an even larger tip off to police because in Florida, police are on the look out for Cocaine more than Marijuana. Since Cocaine is transported Northbound from Miami and Bradenton/Tampa/Sarasota are on the way from Alligator Alley police are always looking for Cocaine
Driving east on I-10 in Laurel, MS
When approaching Laurel MS going eastbound on I-10, there is an "s curve" on
the freeway. The speed limit drops down to 45 real quick, and anyone who
isnt familiar with the road is probably going to mess up either speeding,
riding too close, ect.
Right after the last of the curve, there was 2 Laurel PD SUV's lined up
facing out. They are K9 units.

I was pulled over for "following to close", which to me seemed to be a
result of profiling. At the time, i was in a lime green coupe packed with my
room (I was heading up north for college) with texas tags. I was asked to
get out of the car followed by the infamous questionnaire he put me through.
It took about 3 minuites i told him the story confidently. Thank God 2 days
before i had left that i watched traffic stops...that hand to head reflex
probably would have got me a search... Im not sure if he believed me, or the
fact that my car was packed tight with my little pup in the front seat that
convinced him that he didnt need to search, but im glad he didnt. ;)

Anyways...your information is right on, and il continue to promote you to
friends... its changed the way i think and handle not only my stash, but
myself.

Stay a step ahead, and NEVER GET BUSTED!!!!!!!!!
I have an area that is HIGH into drug interdiction as of the past few
years after an officer was able to seize a BMW carrying 7 kilos of
Cocaine North from Miami. The BMW was fresh off the showroom floor with
just under 500 miles on the odometer (it's about 491 miles from Miami to
Savannah).

Bryan County Sheriff's Department has control of that vehicle and have
converted it with a full police package. However, due to an incident in
early 2008, all cruisers on I-95 are to be deployed as teams due to an
incident where a man was pulled over and sped off, dragging the officer
a dozen yards and breaking the officer's leg doing so. He fled the
scene and later ditched the car, only to run back onto Northbound I-95
to jump in front of a tractor-trailer, killing himself instantly.

Thank point made, you will RARELY see an officer alone out on 95 except
in Richmond Hill. RHPD has jurisdiction on the highway, and they do sit
out regularly. RHPD has a canine unit, but the canine IS NOT a drug
dog. The animal is only a tracking dog. The same goes for Bryan County
Sheriff's Department.

The entire area is always hot with police action. While they do not
have a drug dog, they make many an arrest. I should know, because I
worked with my father who drives for a towing company. We knew how many
they made due to us being the guys that came out to pick up the vehicle
of the arrested suspect. One thing to note is that it is Richmond Hill
LAW that a police tow MAY NOT exceed $95 plus $20 per 24 hours of
impound. If they try to overcharge you, just pay it and take the
receipt to RHPD and ask to speak with the officer in charge of the
towing list.

One final note: you are better off driving through Bryan County drunk
than you are if you're transporting any illegal substance. I have known
MANY an instance where we go to pick up a car and the deputy tells us to
impound the car until the morning and drop the guy off at a hotel.

Hope this helps. I have not lived there for months, but I do know that
it is a very hot area where they do target people regularly.
I just took a look at your Narcotics Intrerdiction Map and whoever did the
writeup on North Texas (especially Gainesville) did a very good job and
mentioned a lot of the trouble areas that I have experienced in that area.
Just a few gaps that they are missing:

I-35 North though Denton the highway speed drops down to 55mph, makes a
prime speed trap. At least two weeks of the month the city will have an
officer sitting on the FtWorth Drive bridge monitoring traffic heading North
in the mornings and South in the evenings. At least one day a month they
place an officer with a speed gun on a tripod in this location and line up
over a dozen marked units on side streets. They pull anyone who is speeding
over and funnel them into the Sack and Save parking lot where they have a
K-9 unit on site. The K-9 unit happens to "walk his dog" the entire time in
between and around all the cars they pull off the highway. On a regular
basis I see them emptying trunks, cuffing people, and towing cars from the
lot while they do this operation.

Also on I-35 North they almost always have a K-9 unit in the Loop 288 area
on the far North side of Denton. They sit behind the barrier under the
bridge and pull a lot of cars over before they get out of the city limits.
Almost daily I see people getting searched on the side of the road and see a
lot of people getting arrested. (stereotypical minorities, cars with rims
and tinted windows, etc. definitely a profiling operation you never see them
pull over soccer moms)

Inside Denton itself the UNT campus (like all universities) is a hot spot
for narcotics officers. The UNT police department has several drug dogs and
has at least one on patrol 24/7. They are easy to identify, the regulars
are in crown vics and impallas. The K-9 units and supervisors are in large
SUV's

Just thought I would throw this out for your readers, thanks for all your
work we all appreciate it.
Alligator alley I-75 between naples and ft lauderdale. espically heading west towards naples you are very likely to be pulled over and searched by FHP and Collier County deputies. I have personally been pulled over 4 times 3 times by Collier deputies with K9 s dog at side asked to exit vehicle Deputy walked around vehicle and then allowed me to go no ticket written warning ect. I obtained last officers badge number to file a complaint on there conduct. Someone should do something. thank you
in my area in Missouri and my home turf at the Indiana Illinois border the roads to watch for are, in Missouri 40/61from Chesterfield to Bowling Green -and a lot of places on the 44-64-70 loop and in Illinois 64 from Mt. Vernon Illinois to Evansville Indiana as well as the 64/70 split outside of St. Louis to Champaign Illinois.
The area on I-75 between Atlanta, GA and Macon; GA,
the counties are Butts/Henry/Monroe, They sit on the
highway lookin for blacks and Mexicans to pull over, I
got pulled over for Following too closely, they asked
to Search, I said "no" so they brought the dogs out
and made them false alert, they ended finding a
firearm that they said was stolen, I spent about a
week in Butts county jail, met about 20 other people
that were like me but unfortunately for them, they
actually had drugs. After I got out of jail, I went
back to the county jail to pick up my money, and got
pulled over by Henry county for following too closely,
but they didnt search me, Best times to travel through
this area is between 1am-6am.
Seriously though Florida has got to be about as HOT as it gets. The part of
your video that explains about "refusal" is right on the money. Lake Co. Fl

Sheriff has publically stated that traffic control is his primary concern at
a recent pre election presentation he gave to my ABATE Chapter. He also
mentioned that he has the 2005 number 1 DEA agent working in cahoots with
his Narc Squad...that would explain why several scumbag coke/meth pedophile
dealers are still on the street - they have "federal amnesty" while they rat
out everyone they can...ain't that a pisser.
South of TAVARES, Florida are several real HOT spots SR19 from TAVARES,FL to
Hwy 50, anywhere on CR561 (same area) and HWY 50 from Winter Garden, FL to
I-75. if you drive these roads beware the cops in Mascotte, Fl shot their
councilman dead in a pursuit in which only the police had guns.
HOWEY-IN-THE-HILLS & Astatula, Fl are VERY HOT - 1mph over will get a stop
and attempted search. We call them "JACK BOOTED THUGS" for good reason. I
ride a motorcycle and do not do stupid things like show off or speed and
consider myself blessed since they concentrate on cars, trucks and show oafs
on crotch rockets. If this saves just one person from their abuse of power
then I have accomplished something.
North texas, from DFW on I-35, the state troopers will ride your bumper to try and force you into speeding so they can pull you over. DO THE SPEED LIMIT. Basically dare him to rear-end you. They'll generally lose intrest in 5-10 miles if you watch your lanes and run the speed limit (I do 2-5 under, because I'm in NO hurry to get anywhere).
There's a small town in north texas called Gainesville. It's the crossroads from I-35 and Hwy 82, and we have 3 speed traps. Oakridge to the east, between gainesville and sherman. (Oakridge has been known to ticket state troopers, so the relationship between the two sets of officers is NOT in the best of shape. Also, Oakridge will NOT 'let a ticket go', and they will bust you for one mile over-limit. It's a town of roughly 200 people, and roughly 1/12 of their population are police.) Best time to pass through going east - 3:30-4:30pm. Weber aircraft manufacturing lets out their job pool at ~3p.m. Best time to head west - 5:30-6:30 am.

To the south, consider the area from the !-35 east/west split in Denton north to Valley View (a 20-30 mile stretch) exceptionally suspect, especially northbound. The state troopers have been known to shut down the highway and walk a dog down a line of cars. Best times to head south - 5-7 am, Best time to head north 5-7 pm. I got pulled over twice leaving late and going to see my girlfriend in DFW so consider the hours 8pm-12am suspect.

To the west of gainesville, there's Lindsay, they have a pair of LEOs, and both are zealots. Further to the west (next town) is Muenster, There are two officers, Police chief Stovall, who doesn't like to get out of his car, as he's nearing retirement. The city forced him to hire a junior officer with a K9, and the junior officer's full of himself, but stovall limits him to doing walkthroughs at the schools, so you'll rarely see him, but they DO have a K9 unit that can be called for.
Best times for east travel - noon-4pm, Best time for west travel-no definate time, but Stovall is generally a 9-5, and the Junior officer/K9 combonation is very rare. Living in Muenster for 3 years, I never saw them involved in a single stop. (Stovall resents the presence, so don't push, and he'll be very unlikely to call for the K9)

Further west is St Jo. The officers there are rarely seen after dark.

South-west of Muesnter is Era and Myra. Small towns, volunteer fire departments and no LEO presence that I saw while delivering newspapers from the hours of 12 pm -7 pm. Southeast of Muenster is Forestburg. One or two officers, If encountered consider them on the scale of state troopers as far as attitude, i.e. 'do not grief them, or they'll FIND something, even if they put it there themselves.

Gainesville itself is heavily DARE active, more than 1/2 of the LEOs here ARE DIRTY. Many of them are on the take, but a good portion of them hang about the high school writing up the girls, then offering to 'make the ticket go away' in exchange for sexual favors. We had some trouble a few years ago with the county DEA offering underage 1st offenders the chance to escape prosecution, if they sold for him. If they didn't, he'd see they were prosecuted as adults.
Areas to avoid - Lindsay street, California Street, Broadway, Grand Avenue, Commerce, Dixon, Fair Avenue, And anything with the name 'circle' or that sounds like a 'rich neighborhood', such as 'Blackwood Estates' Or the housing subdevelopments. Also Moss Lake road (moss lake, the kids go to party, and most of the way to the lake is under their jurisdiction) Also any BNSF rail areas, especially the Yard itself (around dixon street, from moran north, under hwy 82) The BNSF employees are to call the LEOs if they see any suspicious activity.

Places the LEOs avoid- The areas between Culberson street and Commerce, (our little harlem) and the presence is limited in the area between Culberson and I-35. There have been shootings east and north of the Grand Avenue-California Street intersection, so the areas between Grand avenue and Fair Avenue have been moderately patrolled, but the presence has fallen off in the last few weeks.

Gainesville DOES have at least 1 K9 unit, I think they've upgraded to 3, but being on the run from San Antonio to OKC, everything from drugs to guns filters through this town, so the cops are not only dirty, but paranoid and twtichy.

The city LEOs stop for gas at the Exxon station at the corner of hwy 82 and Fair, so avoid that station (it's a block from the KFC, which is a favorite eating place for them) Other places they're likely to be are the Wal-mart supercenter parking lot, The Prime outlets mall north of town (between hwy 82 and the Oklahoma border), Subway, The Neu Ranch house/Catfish Louies (on 82, almost directly across from the Exxon) Jack in the box (corner of Grand and Broadway) and the Taiwan chinese resturant. (On North grand, near Hwy 82.) Mcdonalds, Braums, Starbucks, Taco Casa, Wendys and Taco Bell are all in a cluster by I-35, so there is SOME presence, but they rarely eat there.

Best times- 6-8 am, 5-7 pm, 10pm-1am, during church hours on Sundays.

Avoid Friday and Saturday nights, especially Grand and California, as there is some racing, and the LEOs make themselves known at those times. Also rumor is there are some unmarked patrolling Hwy 377 (old denton road) Between gainesville south to the Spring Creek Road area during friday and saturday as well, trying to 'start' races, and busting people that way.

Barry, hope that helps.
DPS working 2 shifts bringing in units from all over the state to work TX

and on to the Van Horn area. South to Alpine, Marfa and Ft. Davis.
Troopers being brought in in 2 week shifts and working two shifts per

April 09.
I heard you on the radio this morning, and decided to check out your web
site. Just wanted to let you know that I ran across a drug stop where they
put out signes that say "last exit before drug check" or "Drug check
ahead". I did not stop, and there was no drug check. The spot was south of
Kansas City on I-35 heading North, about 10 miles North of the Rantool exit
(probably 20 miles South of 435).
I'm constantly seeing an unmarked beige Chevy Impala
on Spring Creek rd. in Plano, Tx. I've seen it pull
people over too. It has some odd antennas and blue and
red lights on the inside of the vehicle. Watch out.
I'm not sure if it's on Narcotics Interdiction but it
wouldn't surprise me.

I see a lot of police activity on the service roads
around a Tobacco shop off Highway 75 between W Park
Blvd and E 15 st.
I'm currently working on a post at http://ganjablue.blogspot.com that covers
so detailed knowledge about the vehicles used by the Memphis TACT squad and
Interdiction teams. I'm still working at identifying some of the situations
I'm going to talk about. In brief there are three different unmarked
vehicles that are in use in the Memphis area. Solid color Crown Victoria
unmarked cruisers with Gov. Services license plates. Some have blacked out
windows, all have the police issue hubcaps.

There are new Dodge Charger R/T interdiction units with civilian plates, and
stealth blue-lights obfuscated by the blacked out windows. These are fairly
easy to spot because the cars are always the R/T edition and don't come in
novel colors(red, royal blue, orange). I don't want to stereotype but the
same people around here that like blacked out windows also like colorful
cars.

The TACT squad, "SWAT Team", vehicles are box vans with civilian plates.
Whats unique about these vans is they all have a curtain that hangs between
the front seat and back of the van. This is weird and stands out for two
reasons, box vans are owned by companies and companies are required to carry
commercial, not standard civilian, plates. The other dead give away is the
1970's era curtain, who does that anymore? I call it them MPD Shaggin
wagons.

I have a big problem with unmarked, civilian licensed cars. We aren't
supposed to have secret police in this country.

There are several places that the interdiction teams like to sit and watch.
The eastern I-40 - I-240 interchange, especially westbound traffic. The I-40
/ US HWY 51 interchange, watching westbound I-40 traffic. Finally, the
southern I-55/I-240 interchange is legendary, however, it's not my normal
route so I don't know where to expect them.

Finally, Memphis cops are notorious for shakedowns. They are dirty, dirty.
From the stories I hear, about half of the busts in Memphis never go to
trial because somewhere along the way the drug evidence ends up missing.
Cops get caught shaking down people every year, especially in impoverished
Latino and black neighborhood. I'm white and have friends on the force, so
I've been fortunate so far. BTW, in Bartett, a major white suburb of
Memphis, where I worked for three years, I have never seen a white person
pulled over at all.

Barry
please pass this off to your fans so there lifes are not destroyed like my life has been lately .

early morning 4am threw 5pm

Friday is the worst don't drive threw!!!!

95 turnpike

past savanna if your heading south or after Jacksonville if your going north

exit 6 st Marys Georgia Camden county

camouflaged broncos in the woods near the weigh in station exit 6 right before the Florida border

unmarked units in the median of the turnpike THEY PULL EVERYONE OVER

so if your the only one in the car they are pulling you over.

drug court is once a week so if your locked up be prepared to have a miserable stay .

The county jail guards are abusive verbally and physically.
Nebraska on I-80, between Grand Island and Omaha (#2 on
http://nevergetbusted.com/v2/narcoticsmap.php): I was pulled over going a
little over 70 in a 65. K9 LEO was on another call, but arrived within 20
minutes. There was an orange diamond sign in the median that read "Drug dog
in use" about 200 yards past where I was pulled over.

North Texas, from DFW on I-35, the state troopers will ride your bumper to try and force you into speeding so they can pull you over. DO THE SPEED LIMIT. Basically dare him to rear-end you. They'll generally lose interest in 5-10 miles if you watch your lanes and run the speed limit (I do 2-5 under, because I'm in NO hurry to get anywhere).
There's a small town in North Texas called Gainesville. It's the crossroads from I-35 and Hwy 82, and there are 3 speed traps. Oakridge to the east, between Gainesville and Sherman. (Oakridge has been known to ticket state troopers, so the relationship between the two sets of officers is NOT in the best of shape. Also, Oakridge will NOT 'let a ticket go', and they will bust you for one mile over-limit. It's a town of roughly 200 people, and roughly 1/12 of their population are police.) Best time to pass through going east - 3:30-4:30pm. Weber aircraft manufacturing lets out their job pool at ~3p.m. Best time to head west - 5:30-6:30 am.

To the South, consider the area from the I-35 east/west split in Denton North to Valley View (a 20-30 mile stretch) exceptionally suspect, especially northbound. The state troopers have been known to shut down the highway and walk a dog down a line of cars. Best times to head south - 5-7 am, Best time to head north 5-7 pm. I got pulled over twice leaving late and going to see my girlfriend in DFW so consider the hours 8pm-12am suspect.

To the west of Gainesville, there's Lindsay, they have a pair of LEOs, and both are zealots. Further to the West (next town) is Muenster, There are two officers, Police Chief Stovall, who doesn't like to get out of his car, as he's nearing retirement. The city forced him to hire a junior officer with a K9, and the junior officer's full of himself, but Stovall limits him to doing walk throughs at the schools, so you'll rarely see him, but they DO have a K9 unit that can be called for.
Best times for East travel - noon-4pm, Best time for West travel-no definite time, but Stovall is generally a 9-5, and the Junior officer/K9 combination is very rare. Living in Muenster for 3 years, I never saw them involved in a single stop. (Stovall resents the presence, so don't push, and he'll be very unlikely to call for the K9)

Further West is St Jo. The officers there are rarely seen after dark.

South-West of Muesnter is Era and Myra. Small towns, volunteer fire departments and no LEO presence that I saw while delivering newspapers from the hours of 12 pm -7 pm. Southeast of Muenster is Forestburg. One or two officers, If encountered consider them on the scale of state troopers as far as attitude, i.e. 'do not grief them, or they'll FIND something, even if they put it there themselves.

Gainesville itself is heavily DARE active, more than 1/2 of the LEOs here ARE DIRTY. Many of them are on the take, but a good portion of them hang about the high school writing up the girls, then offering to 'make the ticket go away' in exchange for sexual favors. We had some trouble a few years ago with the county DEA offering underage 1st offenders the chance to escape prosecution, if they sold for him. If they didn't, he'd see they were prosecuted as adults.
Areas to avoid - Lindsay street, California Street, Broadway, Grand Avenue, Commerce, Dixon, Fair Avenue, And anything with the name 'circle' or that sounds like a 'rich neighborhood', such as 'Blackwood Estates' Or the housing sub developments. Also Moss Lake road (moss lake, the kids go to party, and most of the way to the lake is under their jurisdiction) Also any BNSF rail areas, especially the Yard itself (around Dixon street, from Moran North, under hwy 82) The BNSF employees are to call the LEOs if they see any suspicious activity.

Places the LEOs avoid- The areas between Culberson street and Commerce, (our little Harlem) and the presence is limited in the area between Culberson and I-35. There have been shootings east and north of the Grand Avenue-California Street intersection, so the areas between Grand avenue and Fair Avenue have been moderately patrolled, but the presence has fallen off in the last few weeks.

Gainesville DOES have at least 1 K9 unit, I think they've upgraded to 3, but being on the run from San Antonio to OK City, everything from drugs to guns filters through this town, so the cops are not only dirty, but paranoid and twichy.

The city LEOs stop for gas at the Exxon station at the corner of hwy 82 and Fair, so avoid that station (it's a block from the KFC, which is a favorite eating place for them) Other places they're likely to be are the Wal-mart Supercenter parking lot, The Prime outlets mall north of town (between hwy 82 and the Oklahoma border), Subway, The Neu Ranch house/Catfish Louies (on 82, almost directly across from the Exxon) Jack in the box (corner of Grand and Broadway) and the Taiwan Chinese restaurant. (On North grand, near Hwy 82.) Mcdonalds, Braums, Starbucks, Taco Casa, Wendy's and Taco Bell are all in a cluster by I-35, so there is SOME presence, but they rarely eat there.

Best times- 6-8 am, 5-7 pm, 10pm-1am, during church hours on Sundays.

Avoid Friday and Saturday nights, especially Grand and California, as there is some racing, and the LEOs make themselves known at those times. Also rumor is there are some unmarked patrolling Hwy 377 (Old Denton Road) Between Gainesville south to the Spring Creek Road area during Friday and Saturday as well, trying to 'start' races, and busting people that way.
DPS working 2 shifts bringing in units from all over the state to work TX Hwys.

A Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) detail was recently held on Interstate 95 by Nye County Sheriff's Office deputies...March 2007. The purpose of the enforcement detail was narcotics interdiction. A total of 32 contacts were made during the detail, based on miscellaneous misdemeanor violations. Nine were searched, resulting in two arrests...one for marijuana and one for cocaine. One of the vehicles searched was seized as well as $2,509 in cash. Deputies who participated in the detail included K-9 Officer E. Murphy and D. Pineau, Narcotics Det. J. Powell and Street Crimes J.Chandler, H. Williams, and M. Dillon. Note: This particular stretch of highway, 95 runs from Las Vegas, Nevada North-West, then North to the Nye County Seat of Tonapah, Nevada. 95 continues north to connect with I-80, East of Reno, Nevada.

In Nebraska, on I-80 between Grand Island and Omaha, major marijuana seizures are made on a weekly basis. According to the the newspaper, most of the busts stem from " improper lane changes" obviously indicating people are being profiled. K-9's are available on this stretch of highway.

While driving through Red Dog, Illinois, I got stopped by police. I was traveling from Denver, Colorado to Atlanta, Georgia, trying to avoid Chicago. The police asked to search my vehicle and threatened me with drug dogs. They warned there was a prison nearby and if I was not careful I would end up there. My last name infers I may be Hispanic, despite my blond hair and blue eyes. This officer's grade is a huge "F" for intimidating citizens into a consensual search.

I live in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and I do know the stretch of Interstate 10 between Baton Rouge and Lafayette is a major drug interdiction route. I've heard personal stories of busts between Lafayette and Baton Rouge on I-10 quite often. I have also read articles in the paper recently where the police pulled over "two cars that were following each other closely.

Marsh Lane just North of George Bush Turnpike, Carrollton TX local officers are paying special attention to people leaving a popular 'tobacco' shop. There an unusually high number of traffic stops within a block of the store.
I have seen strong interdiction efforts on two highways in Dallas, Fort Worth: 35W South side of Denton, Texas and George Bush Turn Pike at various locations. Texas Highway Patrol on both sides of the highway with a local K-9 parked close by for quick access. Vehicles are being searched!

There is a real problem on I 45 between Huntsville, Texas and Madisonville, Texas with DPS and Walker County Sheriff's Deputies. On any given night 3-4 officers patrol a 10-20 mile span of highway. Highway 10 leaving Huntsville headed toward Trinity, Texas is also full of DPS and Sheriff's deputies. According to this citizen's report, Deputy Tim Watson is on patrol and has no problem violating your 4th amendment rights. An example of Tim Watson violating constitutional rights was not submitted for NeverGetBusted to report.

If you are traveling on I-20 between Tyler and Longview, TX, be aware of Volunteer Constable, Mark Water. He frequently works this portion of Interstate and has quick access to a K-9. I, Barry N. Cooper, personally viewed two videos of Volunteer Mark making arrests after consent to search was refused and a K-9's was encouraged to FALSE ALERT. In one of the videos, NO NARCOTICS OF ANY KIND WERE FOUND!!! Mark Waters grade is an "F" when it comes to violating 4th amendment rights.
Hey Barry, I live in Baton Rouge, LA. I was on my way to Dallas, TX when I saw a sign that was obviously put up on a whim on I-20 by narcotics officers that read "Narcotics checkpoint ahead in 1/2 mile. K-9 on duty." As I passed by the police cars, I could see them picking out cars of their preference for searching(opening the suspect's trunk and whatnot). It looked liked if they could just make the K-9 bark then they could legally search your car. Anyway, just giving everyone a fair warning if you plan on traveling on I-20 between Shreveport and Dallas.

It has been reported up to 7 State Troopers are concentrating their drug interdiction efforts on Hwy 31 between Malacoff and Murchison, Texas. Athens, Texas is located between these two towns. Several motorist and one police officer have reported numerous searches taking place on this highway.

There is an active drug task force in Western Massachusetts - Northwestern District Attorney's Office State Police Drug Unit and the Hampshire/Franklin County Drug Task Force conduct many arrests and investigations in the area. The main roads that one encounters these task forces are Route 91 from Springfield Massachusetts to the Vermont border. Many Vermont citizens get busted along this highway. Other Routes one must avoid is Route 10 from Westfield to Easthampton, Route 141 from Holyoke to Easthampton, Route 5 from Holyoke to Northampton.
I do know the Springfield Police Narcotic Unit, the DEA, the ATF work with members of the Easthampton Police Department (among other local police dept.) in identifying possible suspects. There has been a large increase in Drug Busts in the area recently.

Along with a new state police BAT mobile (Breath Alcohol Testing mobile facility) the local and state police work together on a few routes/ highway(s). At times they claim to be looking for drunk drivers but also conduct drug interdiction. I will quote one local article "When stopped at the roadblock, one driver asked the officer conducting the checkpoint, 'Are we still in America?''Just checking,' she said, as she drove away. "

It goes on and on. Beware of the main corridors from Springfield to Vermont. Also beware of route 10 and the Southampton PD. Many speed traps and other sleazy tactics. They work closely with the Easthampton Police Department.

PS - I have watched your DVD numerous times and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking information and the truth!

I hope you release another DVD soon!

I checked out the interdiction map today, awesome! You most definitely need to add Interstate 40 in Texas. Especially from Amarillo east to the Oklahoma state line. The DPS Troopers are arresting people like crazy up here. They are on the news and in the paper with 3 or 4 "drug busts" a week. Most are near Groom, Texas, and they use 2 DPS drug dogs.

There are several state troopers who continuously travel US Hwy 87 and Texas State Hwy 349 between Midland and Lubbock. The troopers are initiating traffic stops for 1 mile over the speed limit. I know, I was one of them. The first thing he said to me when he came to the window is that it smelled like marijuana in my truck...Well that's impossible because I didn't smoke marijuana at the time for about 6 months... took 30 minutes going through my bags throwing clothes everywhere and didn't find anything and left. (I got a warning on the speeding though!) Just be careful driving that stretch of road because it is a big drug smuggling road. They are finding way to pull over as many people they can.

The local police in Farmers Branch, Texas have set up random drug check points along Insterstate 35E from LBJ 635 to the exit at Beltine Rd.

Trooper Chris Goodman works I-40 near Russellville, Arkansas from the 78 mile marker to the 88 mile marker. The newspaper prints all the stories and every name is either a black or Hispanic. He often gets 2-3 loads of drugs in one day. He used to be a city cop in Russellville and would hang out at the gas station off the freeway and ask people getting gas for consent and would find drugs.

Hey Barry, There are always cops sitting in the center of a "loop-around" on US 59 right as you come into Nacogdoches, Texas (if going North.) I've seen plain white police cars w/out any lights and State Troopers. They have their blinding high beams on as you drive in front of them. I was going to my apt in Nacogdoches at about 11:00pm. I took the "loop-around" (If you don't you will go through town.) I drove in front of the State Trooper and he followed me for 1-2 miles and finally stopped me because he said he couln't read my license plate. He then asked me where I was coming from and going and then walks around my car shining his light in my windows and told me to get a new bulb and left. He did write me a warning-ticket and at the bottom it said his name was KOONCE.

From: Barry
I use to work with this cop at the Permian Basin Drug Task Force. He sent this report for me to post. I know Richard personally and he does not seem interested in small amounts of marijuana unless he thinks it can be used to make the offender an informant. They work this highway aggressively so beware!!! If you run into them, drop my name...only if you're not holding of course. LOL

Hey Barry, We'll put 'em to the test in Yoakum County, Denver City Texas, Hwys 214, Hwy 82/380 and Hwy 83. Our Troopers and Deputies regularly look for drug cases on our highways and you know there's always a good reliable drug dog handy. Richard Dickson, Investigator. Youkum County CDA

Just wanted to let you know I DID get busted just south of Shreveport, LA on I-49 . Last July there was a fake "narcotics checkpoint" sign which makes you think turning off the interstate is a good idea to avoid it, and then guess who is waiting for you at that next exit? They then intimidated me and when they got the dog, I told them right where it was like an idiot. Fortunately, I had a good lawyer, and 5K later the charges were dropped. Whatever you do, pray you don't have a headlight out because they will pull you over and check you out. If you see a sign like this and you have something, just yawn or look bored, but whatever you do don't freak out like I did and get off the road. It was an awful experience, but your advice is good, thanks for your website.

Lansing, Kansas is a drug route cops watch for. It's the conjoining city to Leavenworth. The road the cops like is Highway 7 which turns into 4th street and is near Lansing Correction Facility and Leavenworth Prison. There are a lot of drug runners that go through here but most don't get busted. I myself got busted with over 10 pounds of pot on this road so be careful!

Please Release these two locations in Missouri. Interstate I-44 in Strafford near Springfield and Interstate I-44 between St. Robert & Rolla, Missouri at SugarTree! These are extreme HOT SPOTS!
Hi, Barry, I'd like to confirm your #19 "DRUG CHECK POINT" in MO on Hwy 44 south of Rolla. I have taken that route since 1992 deer & turkey hunting. They post signs in Spanish & English " DRUG CHECK POINT AHEAD" on a curve in the hwy where you can't see the exit. Then when you get off that exit They lay in wait with 4-8 units & dogs. Normal Lawyer says he has info. that they are using FAKE BALL BOUNCING to alert dogs and search. This is around Harvest time Oct. & Nov. TRAVELER BEWARE. I got your new video sat. wish I had it a month ago. Would have saved me $30k plus unknown future. I posted last night on "ASK BARRY" ...BUSTED IN MO, we need help with F.L.I.R. SEARCH. I like your website, and might suggest a "legal fund help" for busted americans that can't afford bail & good legal help... like your help the POT-POWS. It could be set up with PAYPAL INSTANT DONATIONS and KEEP A FEW MORE GOOD PEOPLE OUT OF PRISON. I plan to be most active in changing education & laws when my mess is over legally. Right now trying to come up with 10 grand for bail & lawyer to stay out of jail. Please continue the great work you have started on the right side!!! LIFE...LIBERTY...AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS IN YOUR OWN HOME...PEACE

Dear Barry: I think your site is cool and you too. Thanks for the vocal position you take. I can't afford the video right now but will be able to soon, I hope you make a million off of your fine work. In Texarkana, Arkansas the cops (city and the drug task force split the take) regularly search the greyhound bus station with a K9. They get on the bus while its stopped and the driver waits for the cops before he can leave and tells everyone they are searching for illegal weapons for their safety. My wife did not want to consent but was intimidated into submission. Another passenger was Mexican and spoke no English and certainly did not consent, but both were searched. My wife had her brown bag lunch gone through and their luggage with a K9.

“I made a traffic stop on a Buick Lucerene for a traffic violation at the 36 mile marker on I-30 eastbound. Corporal Keith Sullivan was contacted to assist in the stop,” Pinner said in his report. “I utilized Arkansas State Police K-9 Tommy to do a sniff of the vehicle and K9 Tommy alerted on the trunk of the vehicle.” - HopeStar Hope, Arkansas

Bedford, Blair and Cambria counties in Pennsylvania are a very dangerous place to transport your drugs in a car. We have had 4 major drug bust this year. These three counties are working together as never before to stop the drugs from moving into or through our region of Pa. It isn't safe to travel the Pa turnpike, Rte 56, Rte 96, Rte 30, Interstate 70, or Rte 522 in this area if you are moving drugs.

I'd like to add a narcotics interdiction point. On highway I-70 between Kansas City, Missouri and Columbia, many times the police post "Drug Check" signs on the highway. These exits are loaded with K-9 officers waiting for people to exit and avoid the up coming check point which never exists.

another fan writes: Dear Barry,
K9 equipped LEO's and DOT have been and still are targeting the Interchange at I-70 and 435 and pulling people over for search at the Manchester Bridge inside Kansas City, Missouri. They have semi's and citizens pulled over daily in front of a trailer park on Manchester Ave. just off the Interstate. They have been using this spot for at least ten years now.

I was pulled over last year driving to Virginia Beach on 264 heading East into Virginia Beach. I was definitely profiled because my car was a 2000 Audi with tinted windows, and there was four college age kids in the car. The officer was driving an unmarked mini-van and had a dog in the back. He told me he was specifically looking for large amounts of narcotics and cash. He leaned in the car and said he smelled weed (I don't smoke in my car for that reason but he searched me based on "smelling" it anyways).
I only had a few joints so he just made me tear them up and sent me on my way. He even told me, "Don't worry there is plenty of it when you get to the beach". Also 64 on the way to 264 has plenty of areas hidden by trees that highway patrol officers hide behind.

I've had many friends get busted on the Interstates 35 and 70 in Kansas. These roads are covered with narcotics and interdiction cops. I almost got busted myself when the cop was talking to my friend, I swallowed it. The cop searched my car (probable cause ...door handle i guess) and did not find anything.

EL CAMPO- More marijuana and money was seized by Wharton County DPS troopers in routine traffic stops in 2006 than any other county in Texas. The troopers, stationed at Pierce, seized 10,066 pounds of marijuana- 10.5% of the statewide total of 95,653 pounds-and $4.3 million in suspicious money, about a fifth of the $20.87 million seized in Texas last year. U.S. Hwy 59 is a well-known corridor for both drugs and money derived from criminal enterprises. "We had a pretty decent year." DPS Pierce office Sgt. Danny Terronez said. --El Campo Leader-News.

There is a stretch of I-40 that runs from Memphis, Tennessee to Little Rock, Arkansas. They patrol that real heavy with cars that say "drug intervention." The interchange of I-55 and I-40 is a huge place for drug busts. They happen there daily.

another fan writes: In brief there are three different unmarked vehicles that are in use in the Memphis area. Solid color Crown Victoria unmarked cruisers with Gov. Services license plates. Some have blacked out windows, all have the police issue hubcaps.

There are new Dodge Charger R/T interdiction units with civilian plates, and stealth blue-lights obfuscated by the blacked out windows. These are fairly easy to spot because the cars are always the R/T edition and don't come in novel colors(red, royal blue, orange). I don't want to stereotype but the same people around here that like blacked out windows also like colorful cars.

Hello Barry! I love what your doing with this site as I am a constitutionalist and believe the war on drugs is highly illegal. I have spent many hours listening to a police scanner here in Winslow, Arizona and many times I have heard the highway patrol on I-40 between Winslow and Flagstaff talking about pulling over suspicious looking vehicles (aka low riders and nice cars with heavy window tint) to "get lucky" and make a big drug bust. They trade ideas of which types of vehicles are the best to try for a big bust. They then brag that they are making up a reason to pull one over that fits their bill. Watch for speed traps between Luepp and Winslow, also when you reach the forested areas on the Flagstaff side of Winona. It is common to see big busts on the road side around here at least sevral times a month, K-9 units are on call here. Also there are very strict speed enforcement as the speed is reduced on Hwy 87 coming into Winslow.

Barry, going east on I-20 going into West Monroe, La the local and state PD will have a sign out on the highway that says drug checkpoint ahead. There is an exit ramp right past the sign. This is where a lot of people will get off fearing a checkpoint on the interstate, but the police are actually set up on the off ramp and will pull you over and check your vehicle. They also have drug dogs available. Also on Hwy 165 coming into Monroe, La the local and state police will actually shut the hwy down and run dogs by the vehicles along with drinking and driving enforcement, which I completely support.

Barry, I have noticed that during the summer months the Shelby County, Alabama police usually set up a road blockade at the intersection of AL Hwy 119 and AL CR 22. If you are traveling through this part of Alabama, you can expect Shelby County to establish this road block around 11pm. I have been stopped once and had to show my driver's ID while the officer checked my vehicle tags. He asked me where I was coming from and where I was going and then allowed me to leave.

Camden County, located on the far South East tip of Georgia (where Georgia borders Florida) is known many arrests along Interstate 95 which runs straight through the county. I- 95 is a divided 2 and 3 lane highway with many trees, dips in landscape, and overpasses, allowing for various hiding spaces for troopers.

UHP troopers make 2 drug busts on I-70 State troopers on Friday made two large busts hours apart on Interstate 70. The first haul came at about 3:40 p.m. about three miles east of Richfield when a Utah Highway Patrol trooper stopped a 2007 PT Cruiser for a traffic violation. The police dog indicated drugs were in the car. Troopers found 34 kilos of cocaine. The second bust came about five hours later and about three miles east of the earlier stop. - The Salt Lake Tribune

More than 300 pounds of marijuana was confiscated Tuesday as a result of a routine traffic stop on northbound Interstate 71 in Warren County. "Once again, we are reminded that Interstate 71 continues to be a major pipeline for the transportation of drugs," Warren County Sheriff Tom Ariss said --The Cincinnati Post

Barry on Interstate 55 in Mississippi about 20 miles north of Jackson, there's a county called Madison County. They have an ICEE unit and ICEE man is out there 24-7. He has a variety of rides from the basic Crown Vic to a Dodge Charger to a Tahoe, Durango, F150, Camaro, Mustang. He has all the toys and he's "no joke"- preferring young black males, but he will stop just about anyone!
I can confirm #33 . 20 miles north of Jackson. MS- Madison county. They have been doing this there for over 12 years. They will find a small amount of pot and coerce the person into forfieting their vehicle.

Wyoming has what is called the I-80 Coridor. As a Corrections Officer working in Wyoming, I have first hand information from "offenders" busted on this strech of highway. It is loosely said that over 50% of all the trafficking violations are due to infractions "committed" on this route. Not really first hand experience, but noteworthy nonetheless.
Anywhere between Cheyenne and Rock Springs located on Interstate 80, with particular care for Rawlins and Rock Springs. There was an interdepartmental report (eyes only) that I have read stating that entire I80 is considered the most likely place to find "offenders". thank you, we don't need anymore Bullshit "Offenders" warehoused in our prisons. Thank You. CO

I live in Driggs Idaho which is in Teton County. Home of the Grand Tetons. We have one major highway that runs through (Highway 33) our three little towns Tetonia, Driggs, and Victor. The cops usually just stick to the highway for that next big bust, they are hard on all the people out here but mostly on the hippies or people with the not so new cars (profiling if you will). The local bars are where they like to hang out on the weekends for dui's and other busts. Watch out for Officer Matt Froleich he loves the fact that he is the law out here and nothing can stop him. He is a K-9 handler as well so watch out for a white Durango unmarked if your rolling threw. (there is a unmarked Dodge pickup as well as a blue unmarked Chevy Impala that the cops use out here to throw most people off). Intimidation is a tool that they love to use out here. Pulling people over just "because your license plate was not lit" and then saying that they "would like to search your car because if you got nothing to hide than you won't mind if we take a look in car". They look for any excuses to search in your car out here so don't even give them the chance.

Hi Barry, Spartanburg County {S.C.} Sheriff Chuck Wright in conjunction with law enforcement from surrounding areas have launched "Phase 3" of operation "Rolling Thunder". This drug interdiction is taking place on I85 in Spartanburg SC. I'm sure if you do a Google search or an Ask.com search you can find out all the "particulars". The largest load of cocaine ever seized in SC was found during this action.The police were pulling people over for simple traffic violations like speeding, etc and then approached the vehicle with a drug detecting dog. I hope you will look into this and verify and add it to your map.Its been a pretty serious "thing" here for the past year or so.
