Drug Dealer Offender Database

[backbreaker]

I'm pretty ****ing bored today, I'm in Arkansas, I can't really just go out and kick it on the day we just buried my uncle so I'm kinda stuck here in my hotel room watching movies until I leave tomorrow. I got a lot of time to think about stuff. I got to thinking about random things and I got to thinking about.. sexual offender registrations lol. Why I don't know but this is what I started thinking about and started reading various search databases and how they are setup and stuff and I got to thinking..


why is there not a drug dealer offender database?


At first I laughed becuase I was like well **** it would basically be a "where can I find drugs" guidemap lol


But then I thought about it again and I was like seriously, ****, why isn't there?


I mean, it's not like you need a ****ing guide map, a tour guide and a Subaru to find drugs as it is lol. If you dont' know anyone whatsoever that does drugs pretty much just find MLK or a run down laundry mat or gas station and wait long enough lol it won't take long. Drugs, all kinds, really aren't that hard to find. I haven't used in over a decade and if I wanted to be high right now I'd be high as a kite within the next hour in a city I haven't lived in since I was 23.


But seriously, say I'm a parent and guess what, I ****ing am a parent. Rather or not a convicted drug dealer lives on my street or not is some pretty ****ing relevant information I would like to know. Do I not have the right to protect my children from drugs and the best way to do that is to not be around them. I mean, i can give my kids the drug talk all day long but that's like telling a girl who lives on the same street as a convicted sex offenders street "don't wear short skirts outside"


I mean you can get into the schematics and all just like you can with the sexual predators list, i know there is a difference between selling a gram of weed and selling a pound of raw lol but still.


The more I think about this the more I think this is a real thing. Maybe I'm just crazy. But this is something I want to be able to do. I mean, let me put this it this way. It would go a LONG way towards helping people who want to do better and want their kids to do better by letting them better control their enviroment. but if i'm a single dad and i'm living pay check to paycheck and i'm trying to raise a boy right the last thing i want to do is to live on the same block as the guy who has been selling crack his entire life and is driving flashy ass cars and **** showing off, i don't want my kid exposed to that. i don't want anyone peddling **** to my kids if i can control it. i don't want to have my kids walk home past a dope spot.


it's like, i can make an informed decision about having my kids around sexual criminals but it's almost like, they don't want you to make informed decisions about being exposed to drugs, drug dealers and drug culture.



and it's not as easy as "get out the hood" all hoods aren't the same. just because an area is poor doesn't mean drug use is going on there. **** when i was in little rock my drug dealer lived in a ****ing townhouse lol.


lol i just called my wife and told her of my new idea and she told me to go to bed lol

As a police officer I can get this info through NCIC (nation wide records) and LEADS (just Illinois records). I can find out if someone has been convicted of dealing drugs, or any other felony or misdemeanor crime. But yeah I could see some value to knowing about drug dealers for the public similar to the sex offender list. The resources for background checks in general for non law enforcement still aren't "there" yet. Even some of the better systems available to non law enforcement like Lexus Nexus, Intellius, Beenverified, etc. still don't give you a complete background check on someone. Not everyone is tied together yet (states, counties, cities, etc). So these systems now are "ok" at best. Special efforts have been made to make the sex offender lists as good as they are.

Back when I found out I had had a wedding and thought I was married to a woman who ended up being married to two other guys in two other states (the bigamist I have spoke about), I really had my panties in a wad and was pi$$ed off that there wasn't a nation wide marriage database where you could run a potential spouse before you wed and make sure they aren't married to someone else. That too is not considered a priority I guess. When I background checked her at the end and found out about her other hubbies, I did it raw and by hand and had to go to individual counties she had lived in to check marriage records in each.

I guess I said all that to say this. Give the technology time and I would bet eventually that the resources for private citizens to get criminal information in "one click" will only get better.

True is most drug dealers are black or latinos and that is not very PC.

I think you're just tempted to use again, because your father figure died, and you're back home where no one would know. That's where this is coming from. And I believe 100% that you did not succumb to that temptation, so good for you, my friend.
