Apparently banning OTC Sudafed sales in Mississippi does not impact what Mexico does. Who knew?

Mr. White, Jessie and Mike better figure out a new transportation process. Guess they still haven't gotten over shutting down Pollos Hermanos.

Banning OTC pseudoephedrine stopped people from manufacturing meth here in MS. This meth, as clearly stated by the press release, was imported from Mexico. I would surmise that there aren’t such restrictions on obtaining the ingredients for meth in Mexico. I know you don’t like Fisher, but you overshot your target on this one.

KF, just like the idiots that continue to say casino revenue was designated for education and would solve the funding issue, your 'note' at the end is just as stupid. NOBODY said that the Sudafed ban would stop the selling or using of meth. It has greatly reduced the production of method MS, making those neighborhoods safer of nothing else. And it slowed the thefts of automobile batteries from vehicles parked on the street. But just as having the popo harvest all the weed grown in MS it won't stop the sale of all maryjo in the state.

This meth was manufactured in Mexico. It was not made in MS. What part of the effect of Sudafed sales in MS do you think would have on this Mexico production

Sudafed? We don't need no stinkin' Sudafed- every cartel ever

"Smoking marijuana, eating cheetos, and masturbating do not constitute plans in my book."

All it did was push out the local supply, which created a market for the cartels. Now we get more meth and it is cheaper. I warned you peeps when they banned OTC sudafed that all it would do is push people into pills and heroin. Guess you don't read the headlines.

The only thing this sudafed ban did was make it tougher for law abiding citizens to get the medications they need, oh, and enrich the doctors a little bit more. But keep playing whack a mole.

It is simple economics. Supply and demand. As long as someone is willing to pay for it, someone is going to sell it. Unfortunately, no amount of government regulations or laws can change that fact.

KF is right. Banning OTC like Sudafed was supposed to end the meth crisis. Instead, it's paved the way for Mexican cartels to come into the USA. And no..a wall isn't going to solve the problem....

Attn hispanics with Texas plates : Don't travel in Rankin county Mississippi with or without drugs. Rankin county officers will stop you for "it looks like your tire pressure is a little low" as their German shepherd is sniffing around your car. By all means I am not insinuating that they are profiling!

We should not celebrate drug busts. Any time supply is cut, everyone loses in the failed drug war. I am so tired of reading these pointless headlines regarding seizures.

Unless there is a huge seizure of cash. Then, I guess the officers get a new Tahoe.

If there was not a large amount of cash in the vehicle, they probably had already been stopped prior to this where the cash was probably "voluntarily forfeited".

We've seen a number of these press releases over the years. Does anyone, any lawyer out there, know what sort of sentence these mules receive upon conviction?

@9:35 It's not profiling if the majority of the time it's true.

Attn 9:44 Apparently you understand the concept and reality of profiling.

@9:11 must be one of those people who thinks the banning of guns will magically stop shootings. Somebody tell him please, that while it may not be legal to buy sudaphed in MISSISSIPPI, it is perfectly legal to buy it almost everywhere ELSE in the world. So...if someone REALLY wanted to, they could take a short day trip to Memphis or Birmingham or New Orleans or Atlanta, etc. etc. etc. and pick up some sudaphed THERE and bring it home in their coat pocket. So, unless we plan to put border patrol agents on every road that comes into MS and implement put downs and vehicle searches of every car crossing into our state, the ONLY thing the MS sudaphed ban does it keep law-abiding people from getting quick relief when they have a head cold.

I agree with @kingfish.

Allthis did was hurt the small business owners in Mississippi. Same thing is going to be repeated with marijuana. Once it becomes legalized here, it'll be too late and very corporate. There goes the investment and jobs that could help revitalize our struggling delta farming economy. Now all these MSU grads with farming and turf management type degrees are being hired in Colorado, etc.

38 lbs we're siezed, that means about 275lb got thru.

KF, what banning OTC pseudoephedrine did was make MS much safer by eliminating clandestine meth labs. These labs generally involved very dangerous chemicals, explosions and the like to places where innocent people lived. i.e. neighborhoods and trailer parks. Many a meth manufacturer used the same microwave to make his meth with these toxic chemicals as they used to cook their children’s food. Any idiot can understand that having essentially no more home grown meth labs in MS is good. Very good. Nobody ever said banning OTC pseudoephedrine would prevent meth from being brought into MS. But keep acting like a Senate judiciary democrat by changing the question so you can give the answer you want to.

more meth, cheaper meth, and more heroin, more pills.

Yup, any idiot.

funny how the ban on OTC sudafed stopped local labs, you would not know it up here in Washington County. like many i have several family members on this crap and they continue to cook just like before. it is a little harder for them to get teh sudafed, but they still find ways to do it. all it really stopped was highschool kids that make their first venture into cooking. but the hard core addicts still cook every day. Meanwhile i have to go to my doctor and pay for a visit just to get cold meds that will work.....

Build the Damn Wall!
Nancy Polise (D) & Chuck-E-Cheese Shummer (D) need to protect this country.
These illegal drug traffickers will do time in our prison (at Taxpayer expense) & then they will be released to live in the great USA.

If MS is one of the only (the only?) states that made this drug illegal for OTC sales, then you know by default that it was a stupid idea.

So true 9:55. I pick some up in my trips to TN. Along with my lottery tickets.

Why did we not take the rational step of scanning your DL when purchasing OTC cold medicine rather than requiring a trip to the Doc for a prescription. This is what most states did. If I bought 50 packs of 36 in a week then it would be apparent I didn’t have a head cold or seasonal allergy.

Because some people like to have control and expand the power of government.

EXACTLY! I'll keep saying it, isn't amazing how Rankin S.O. are miraculously discovering these big shipments of dope?

Whoever is having this dope brought in is reporting it, then getting it at discount prices from Rankin S.O. It's free money, so why not.

But you keep playing these kinds of games with the wrong people - they are not going to care where you live, who you work for, you playing with their money.

They should've kept it in the trunk, and not given consent to the police officers. While they only needed probable cause to search the car's interior, they would've needed a warrant to search the trunk...

The real shame of handicapping meth production in Mississippi by requiring prescriptions is economic. The production dollars are flowing into Mexico rather than staying local to buy cigarettes, beer and a new trailer. We only get further behind.....

So when does I55 go thru Rankin County?

1:27. I’m afraid your U Tube law degree doesn’t apply in this situation. Am I fee to go, I don’t consent to any searches.

@6:40. Actually, from the moment 55/20 crosses the Pearl River heading Eastbound, splits at the Stack and 55 crosses the Pearl again heading Northbound there is about 1.15 miles of I-55 in Rankin County, split between Richland and Flowood city limits.

The cops with the plate readers sit right there at the stack, in the Rankin County part---I see them all the time.

Jimmy

so, has no one questioned why the Brandon Police Dept or Madison, the City, Police Department responded and were part of the investigation into a traffic stop on I-55 in Rankin County initiated by a Rankin County Sheriff's department deputy?

Like a good neighbor.
