Quote from: nospainnogain on March 04, 2012, 10:10 pmGovernment agents don't worry themselves with the legality of any particular action or situation. They will do whatever they want to bust people. Anyways, much of the legal ramifications of their law-breaking actions get softened if they actually do manage to bust people.Really? Because I can't count the number of times I've heard cases getting thrown out of court because the police forgot to sign the right paperwork, or gave the wrong information, or...We're not talking about small fry stuff here, murderers have walked free on slip-ups of bureaucratic procedures.A decent lawyer would have a field day if it were known that the police posted real drugs to people on the Silk Road.If you look at the rules that govern controlled deliveries, you'll notice that they deliberately replace 90% of the drug with a substitute. This is despite the fact that ten minutes after delivery, there's a team with a door hammer smashing into the house. Apart from the law, they know the press would have wall to wall coverage if the police delivered drugs and didn't manage to retrieve them later.No, although there may be some sellers who are FBI/DEA/other three-four-five letter acronyms, there are not using real product, that would defeat their purpose. They might try to collect names/addresses to scare the crap out of buyers though.
