Outstanding effort by vigilant police officer(s). Tremendous impact on reducing victimization to the community.
Now it is time for the local Judiciary to do its part and send an appropriate message to the drug dealers in this District. Please do not “hide “ behind rehabilitation / case law in imposing a sentence which must act as a deterrent to, not only this offender but, to other like minded persons who continue to prey on the community.
The social “experiment “ known as rehabilitation is a failure. That is why the public considers the Canadian Judicial System to be a revolving door.
