Why do coke mules commit traffic violations? One would think Biden's cartel amigos would hire primo drivers in perfecto vehicles.

Why dont drug busts like this occur on I-20 in Hinds County?

How many times do they need to be told. Do not drive a vehicle with Texas plates into Rankin county with Latino drivers if you have drugs. The cops will stop you for “low tire”, “loud muffler”, etc.I can assure you the mules do not speed through Rankin county.

I can’t understand why the cartels haven’t figured out that if an Hispanic person driving a vehicle with out of state plates drives through Rankin County on I-20, they are guaranteed to get pulled over for “a traffic infraction.” Why not hire older white ladies, dress them in modest dresses, and put a Bible in the front seat? The increased costs would be far exceeded by the value of the pounds of cocaine that wouldn’t be seized.

I once met a reformed drug trafficker who was a white woman. She would wear a Pentacostal looking long black dress and always carry a Bible with her while she transported drugs. She said she never once got busted.

Imagine that. Hispanic name from Texas gets busted on I-20. It's not profiling when it's the same perp profile time after time. Rankin County Law Enforcement are some of the best in the country.

Chalk up another win for the tag readers.

The don’t violate traffic laws. Claiming a “traffic violation” is the same racist excuse white cops have used since the Jim Crow era. No, Bailey’s boys sit on the side of the road and scan license plates using a computer program called “Desert Snow” until they get a “hit” on drivers who do NOT work for the cartel. There aren’t any cartel mules in their computer system to bust. If they were actually busting cartel mules then the cartel would be assassinating these hillbilly sheriff’s deputies. The cartel would have the sheriffs living in fear to show their faces in public.

I see many of you here didn't get your fix this morning.

Someone please explain to me how Rankin Sherriff's Dept is so successful at making these drug arrests again and again (for years now) on I-20. Call me a skeptic and/or a conspiracy theorist, but it's hard to believe they are among the best drug buster's in the US based upon their policing skills and experience. Are they getting tips from insiders? Note that the drug busts do not happen in Warren, Hinds, Scott, Newton, Lauderdale counties along I-20 -- only in Rankin. If arrests are occurring down on I-10, we certainly don't hear about them in central MS.

Is there an inside game being played on Rankin Sherriff's Dept? Are the cartels sacrificing relatively smaller loads of drugs by tips so that much larger loads can pass through while the deputies are arresting these smaller loads?

Or is it that they are just really good at creating probable cause?

Note that when you drive I-20 in Rankin, and I do that very often, the Rankin Sherriff's are usually sitting in the median waiting and watching, and they don't really seem to mind my speeding. You don't often see them driving the interstate or tailing cars. It's as if they are on the lookout for something in particular -- something or someone already known to them.

It is impractical to think that Rankin Sherriff's Dept is the among the best in the US at stopping drug runners, but that all the rest of the Sherriff's department's in Mississippi's I-20 and I-10 counties are among the worst.

I'm glad they're making the busts and certainly not complaining, but I'm quite curious as to the real reasons behind their "success".

10:27 I also considered maybe the 20 lb load was a decoy and the 1,000 lb load was three cars back. But then why would a decoy driver agree to go to prison for the cartel?

I know a Rankin Sheriff's deputy who manages a K9 unit, but he doesn't talk out of school.

Does Rankin get to keep money from vehicle sale and money found in the bust?

Great Job Police!

Wish more cities would stop these mules. Maybe, if the women who beat her child to death couldn't get the drugs to fry her brain the child would still be alive?

But wait the democrats, ACLU, NAACP, SPLC, etc. etc. would sue for harassment.

You'd think a towing operation with flatbed trucks operating between Jackson and Morton to get them through Pearl, Brandon and The Straights of Pelahatchie would be the cat's pajamas. Maybe organized crime isn't so organized after all?

Because it’s a known load coming through, traffic violations are the legal excuse to pull them over. Yes, they do use older women because no one thinks grandma has got a load or use sail boats because most people think they’re running them in go-fasts.

The "War on Drugs" is a huge con. Biggest one propagated on the US population before Covid.

"Is there an inside game being played on Rankin Sherriff's Dept? Are the cartels sacrificing relatively smaller loads of drugs by tips so that much larger loads can pass through while the deputies are arresting these smaller loads?"

Perhaps the "fees" in Simpson County are higher than Giraffe pussy? I dunno.

@ 10:49. I'm thinking a drug running decoy doesn't know he's a decoy but is merely a lowlife nobody unknown patsie/pigeon/chump who think's he's about to get rich???

For every one of these little cars they bust, there's an 18-wheeler full driving right by. Drugs aren't hard to find ... at all. What a waste of resources.

I don’t understand why the mules don’t stop in Vicksburg at a Walmart and simply steal a MS plate to mount before cruising through Rankin County.

Did Chowke's dope boys approve this load?

don't you know there are some white lawyers in the metro that are PISSED!!

No mention of cash. RCLEOs have learned a valuable lesson.

If you think that Rankin Co. cops are just good or lucky at this without any outside 'help', then as Bill Engvall would say 'heres your sign'.

Maybe, the truck with Texas plates, Latino driver, is the bandit with the snowman hauling the real load / cash a mile or so behind it.

" But then why would a decoy driver agree to go to prison for the cartel?"

Who said he knows he's acting as a decoy? You seem unaware of just how stupid some people can be, and just how coldhearted and vicious other people can be. It's all about the money, and the people collecting the money don't care how many peons get the lives ruined in the process.

Do you think the Rankin busts are making a dent? Having an impact?
Do you think high level drug manufacturers and distributors are stupid? Don't you think they could set up periodic busts, to ensure the big loads get through untouched? Do you think that it's possible that some cops are in on this, and are tipped off by the high level dealers? The cops get glory for the busts (plus some cash on the side), while the big loads are allowed through untouched.

Stop licking boots long enough to use your brains.

Great job Rankin County Sheriffs Department however you do it. Other counties need to follow suit. I am impressed with the new sheriff in Hinds County. Let’s get out there on I-20 and see what we can do.

I agree with Pitt (and it pains me) that these busts are not even a dent in the larger scope.

The war on drugs has been and is such a joke. I almost wonder if Ozark's portrayal of Feds working with cartels is probably more accurate than we care to admit.

That said, I am not mad at the cops for busting these guys.

I just think most of our governmental systems are irreparably corrupt and this is lower on the list of priorities that need a total overhaul.

No worries guys and gals.....plenty of the white stuff over at Henley-Young.

Interesting how these cops be pulling people over for no reason and giving them no rights. Just racial profiling people all over the place if your African American or Latino with out of state plates there you go you get pulled over which it’s really sad but good thing is that most of these cops made a mistake and they’re in the same jail. Mistakes will keep happening and all those corrupt police officers are going to keep going down or magically drug busts will stop happening and they will declare rankin county as one of the safest place to be drug free…

So now that rankin county sheriffs lost credibility for the horrible service and crimes they committed suddenly drug busts and news stopped happening? That’s because all of them are corrupt and they operate with impunity from Sheriff Bailey, no wonder why his under sheriff resigned from his position. I hope all of them get what they deserve, karma is real and you guys broke the law before thousands of people that broke the law as well but you put them behind bars meanwhile you guys were getting honor medals that were earned for being racist and corrupt…
