I witness this also while driving down Franklin day or night. There is a "party" on many street corners around Portland to Chicago. The oddest thing is I would see an SUV pull over on one corner (transaction is less than 10 secs) while a patrol car cruises by on the other side not even seeing what's happening. Once I asked a police officer why they don't do more about those drug dealers. He responded that after they bust them, they pop right back in the street. Obviously they can't hold them very long because the amount they carry is usually not that much to get them long jail terms. Another tactic drug dealers use is to have juvenile deal for them on the street corners. If anything has to change is the law regarding drug dealing and using. I'm curious if drug dealing would decrease if we ban SUV's from entering N. Phillips / Ventura. *wink* ...oO( wireless Webcams along Franklin ) Nah. Thomas T. Thai / S.
