This is Kevin, the one who did the interview. To all who have said nice comments I want to say thank you, appreciate it. Secondly I want to say without a doubt all stories and interview are 100% true and accurate! In doing the job for as long as I did I could have told many, many more stories that really happened just like the ones I told in the interview. Why would I lie about anything knowing many people I worked with and did all those things with would see this video and make a fool out of myself? Think about that! People just dont understand the life of an undercover drug detective in a medium to large size city. Even had a supposed cop say my stories sounded a bit fishy and it was icing on the cake whatever that meant. A few comments down. Really stupid thing to say and do if he was a real cop he was probably a patrolman in a nothing city who never experienced anything like we did at Tampa. Either that or he was one of those on the other side of law I talked about. Thirdly, I realize some people just dont like police even good ones. Thats too bad and maybe its justified because you had an experience with a bad apple I talked about. I think most that dont just go off news, social media, things they have heard. The next time someone is breaking into your home call a crackhead then. See where that gets you! Glad I did the interview. Have had many good comments, phone calls and texts from people who did the job with me and others. Hearing from people I havent heard from in a long time from the job and otherwise. Last time Ill comment on anything written from here on out good, bad or indifferent just setting the record straight! Lastly, thank you again for the many kind comments here on this page!
@@jeremyrobinson6152 thx man, appreciate! don't really need any backing but appreciate you. it was just a supposed cop few comments down that if he was a cop at all he was probably a patrolman in Alaska chasing moose around. no idea what can happen in a real city. its also funny how people say things social media that theyd never say to your face! your the man!
Ah yes, after a hard day of fighting mind-altering substances the police go home and have a double scotch on the rocks. Makes total sense. Always remember the 11th Commandment: Thou shalt control the drug trade so the American government doesn’t have any serious competition. Thanks for doing God’s work ya stupid dupes. By the way, layoff on the beard dye bro.
I love how he said he’d always wanted to be a cop since he was a kid and had viewed them as superheroes, but once he’d seen what the job was actually like he stopped thinking of it as special in any way and viewed it as akin to garbage collecting

He’s right, bad apples everywhere. I had a weird run in with Tampa PD while driving downtown one night. I’m a black dude and a country white boy who was a friend of mine warned me about Polk county boys who joined Tampa PD just to mess with minorities. That didn’t blow my mind, but the fact that he gave me a sincere warning did.
My black coworkers used to warn me that bc Im white that they would target us if we carpooled at night. I believe the FL cop slang used for this was sighting a "salt and pepper" ...white and black person in the same car.
its weird that someone who worked so long in Florida Vice, thinks the most weird things are the harmless kinks of rich people. Like rich people are less insane. They just have more money to spend and indulge.
10:23 This guy's cases got a CI mailbombed & he shows zero care. Turning this one off...wtf man. You wouldn't even HAVE the case if it wasn't for your CI's.
CIs can be serious losers-I know, my drug addicted older sister was one. She’s an evil person and the ONLY reason she ever informed on anyone was to save herself and she was as guilty, or even more culpable than those on whom she was informing. She’d throw ANYBODY under the bus just so she never had to face any consequences. This included using other people’s identities when she’d get arrested for the most grimy crimes. She did this to me when I was a teenager, got arrested and used my information-Ive never been in trouble. How embarrassing! I have no sympathy/empathy for people who involve themselves in criminal behavior and activities. CIs are the worst. She also was involved in a man’s death and a major arson and NEVER was charged in either case. SMH 🤦🏻♀️ She’s in her 60s now and just as big a menace to society as she was in her 20s, just in different ways.
@@jasonbachelor604 It’s called accountability which is something some of you taxpayers seem to have a problem with. People like you are the very reason WHY law-enforcement exists.
It helps to be as dumb as he is-to be gullible enough to unreservedly drink the Kool-Aid without ever questioning authority-and not capable of openly reflecting on all the innocent non-violent lives he’s ruined. (Kevin describing himself as “quick-witted” is a classic example of the Dunning-Kruger effect in action; I’m sure he’s smart for Tampa, but that isn’t saying much.) Instead he just plays golf and humblebrags and laughs all the way to the bank with an early retirement and a pension paid for by the same citizenry he terrorized.
Paid informants are 1 thing... Informants working on charges is a terrible position to put people in. You take desperate people that feel they are screwed and you put them at risk. Promises of "protection" are made and not followed through. Building a case on someone and setting them up is bullshit.
@@awakenotwoke1973 I agree. They are desperate....But waving someone's freedom, family, life , job and everything else over their head is way worse than waving some money at them and paying. The paid ones have a different type of choice to make.
@@Mikey2Times I'm just not sure any of those things you're saying are being waved over their heads really apply to most of those people that would be working off charges though.
"I never thought about taking a penny. To me that was stealing. I would've been almost as much a criminal as them." hat's off sir. There are lots of dirty cops out there participating in drug distribution.
Thank you for never thinking about, let alone ever discussing where his income derives from in the first place. If I had a hat, I'd throw it on the ground in your honor.
He made a living, a great living with early pension, off of protecting big pharma's bottom line. Destroyed millions of lives, families, kids. Why? Because an oligarch decided you should only be allowed medicine if you pay them for permission, and bought it from them exclusively? You know, the thing that human beings have been doing since before we were we were even called modern man? Yeah, he ruined lives over that, for profit. Turned countries into cartels, cost billions of dollars to fund his lifestyle, and of course for prison labor, in war against people even he admits he had no affect on. That is the same today as it was when he started, they were all just sacrifices to his bank account. And you're thanking him, and shining his boot, for supposedly not stealing even more money from us while he was destroying families over plants and chemicals? Have some damn pride and respect for your fellow man. Prohibition doesn't work, all it has accomplished is death, unsafe drugs, worsened addiction, and financed the worlds largest domestic army. Stop thanking your occupying forces. Your current VP made her fortune from arresting people for smoking plants, then giggled like a little school girl when asked if she herself ever smoked it. The "anti cop communist POTUS" literally wrote the crime bill and added 100k MORE cops, to the worlds largest police force, as one of his first acts. One of the very few things he's even tried to do. And people complain he hates police and needs to do even more. It's not for your safety, it's for your enslavement. At least stop worshipping them. And I know it's hard, I grew up around cops, wanted to be a cop, watched all 10 million pro cop shows that were on back then. And now there are even more. But people need to wake up to this, for the sake of their future. This isn't working, they are taking advantage of your ignorance. Don't wait until they kick in your door with a bad warrant and shoot your dog, act now while it's only happening to your neighbor. Not that I have any problem with this channel showcasing criminals, that's what I watch for. As long as it's acknowledged what they are.
This man sounds like a great guy! I lived in KC Mo back in the late 60s. My two sister in laws were prostitutes. One was a bad junkie who got my husband on heroin. The cops beat the crap out of the girls constantly! Some of the stories they told me were horrible to me..but part of their life! They had several big stars who were regulars. And yes, they named them! Two you’d never believe! It’s also true about the sports players. My Mom was a friend with a lady who worked the “switchboard “ in a prominent hotel and she said the minute the players got to the hotel they’d start calling their “hookers” and this lady would listen in on the conversation! Lol. She also named names! This has been happening forever but it’s a breath of fresh air to hear this man was honest. You don’t find that in the business much anymore! Great video, Mark!
@@blastermike_sd70ace80We couldn't be combatting them. Legalize and regulate them so they're safe, and use the tax revenue fund rehab programs. Legalizing drugs would lead to a massive reduction in gun violence as well. The war on drugs was nothing more than a way to target minorities and hippies from the beginning. You worry too much about other people's personal lives.
Great interview. Thank you Kevin for your service and keeping drugs off the street. So proud of you and your Jersey roots. I could tell from the beginning of your interview that you were from North Jersey.
I love how on the topic of mental illness he did not go to some out of control crazy homeless person but the outwardly successful people who have deviant fetishes, and props to Mark for the comment 'well at least nobody is getting hurt'.
Who's getting hurt by grown adults exchanging sex for money? Nobody Yet this revenue farmers for a state blackmails poor ladies to bust people with a product that is lucrative because the state makes it illegal..
Yeah that was interesting. Like, duh, of COURSE it's the doctors, lawyers and professional ball players who do the crazy stuff. They're the ones with huge egos and money.
"She was blown up and severally injured. I never did go to see her" Tells you everything you need to know about these cops and what they think about the "Informants" they think so much of and make their entire careers..... There's a special place in hell for these people. Most of the worst criminals are cops themselves... Why are these cops not putting the child molesters in jail for life instead of drug addict's/dealers? Take all the time you need to think about that one...
Exactly! And when he mentions how they "helped" the informants, how so other than pay/dropping of charges? If they didn't help provide treatment (addiction & mental health counseling, etc.) did they actually help the informants?
This guy seems to be in denial. For one thing, he doesn’t even mention mental illness as a huge part of drug addiction and life on the streets-as if he turned a blind eye to it when he worked the streets. Instead, he mentions second-hand stories about rich guys with fetishes, which fits his definition of “crazy.” Also, what happened to his “love” for working the streets, including the adrenaline high he got from it? All of a sudden, he could separate his home life from that and his work was just a “job” like any other? I find him implausible.
@Eloiseat6 yeah agreed and he says he has the gift of the gab, though some of his answers are odd, and to “What’s the most important lesson you’ve learnt?” He lists most things under the sun then, “aaarrrgh, Tampa Dept was by the book, Tampa was straight laced.” 😅
I find him implausible as well. But maybe that goes along with his job which, although on the "right" side of the law, asked him to perform morally ambiguous work in very stressful situations.
Maybe he just wanted to be one of the good guys; not to change the world but just put law breakers in front of a judge and jury... and then go to his kids little league practice.
The emphasis on how good he was over and over …suss!!,think he has convinced himself of it . One of the worst interviews I have see . He exploited those ladies of the night so he no saint .
"She had this one guy who liked for her to throw rotten fruit at his bare behind and this other guy who liked for her to poo on a glass table. There's some weird people out there." "Coming up next, on Soft White Underbelly..."
Drug war does more harm than good. Unregulated drugs. Crime. No tax money. But hey this guy didn't have to do paperwork and could wear street clothes to work.
Having as one's primary tactic deliberately setting up drug addicted women - who have had to reduce themselves to prostitution in order to survive - with pretty criminal cases so they can be strong-armed into becoming informants and risking their lives to do so with barely any compensation in return seems morally questionable. Maybe he's not a criminal in the strictest sense of the word, but his tactics seem likely to have some difficult questions waiting for him when he gets to the gates of heaven and rings the bell to get in.
Unfortunately he was conditioned to think prostitute drug addicts are "sub human" therefore the do not have moral concerns about putting them at risk and prosecuting them if they do not produce. This is how people can look past the human element and put people they consider "lesser" in these dangerous situations.
Truth. My town is infested with meth and opiates. It's a small town and the cops can't do anything because everyone involved is an informant. They just snitch on each other and the cops let them go.
Law enforcement would shudder at the idea of this country being drug-free. Drugs are their reason for being. Just one nuclear bomb could be detected anywhere entering this country. Drugs of all sorts must make it to every city of every state in this country in order for Law enforcement to reap its many benefits.
Your abseight. The ‘War On Drugs’ is a self perpetuating war. It was never set up to fight, end, or even lessen, drug use in the US. It was set up to build and feed America’s prison industrial complex.
EXACTLY. It's nothin bit corruption from the highest office of the land, down to the very bottom, and all in between. It's so much worse than just last year even!! It's in the towns with population of 25, all the way to the places with billions, it is EVERYWHERE. And I know so many people in the tiny town I grew up in and lived for most of my entire life, that are absolutely taken over and consumed by not just meth anymore, that's not even a comparison to all the people on this fentanyl, and they overdose every single day, every hit they do, and I know that there's been a few people, do it, looked at the others, smiled, took one step, literally, and fell over dead. The narcan just isn't workin on the kind they're usin down there, with xylazine. And it's ALL ages too, from super young kids, to people in their 60,s, 70s, and even 80s. My dad is 66 and this is his life right now, it's our reality. And sittin there watchin your "friends" drop over dead doesn't stop them. It's beyond sad. The cops don't do a thing. There's so many on it too right now, and meth. My dad does it to escape and numb his grief, of losin my mama unexpectedly and then my brother gettin murdered and covered up by these so called town officials. It was mighty easy when you're a cop, own most businesses in the town, and was my brothers deputy coroner. And this happened only four stinkin months after mama died from encephalitis, after only bein 51 for a month. My brother had just turned 34. And now I live every day just waitin for a call about dad, this fentanyl is a whole different thing....😔 Another example of how corrupt it really is, you can be a cop, be on meth, cocaine, fentanyl, all the pills etc, be doin it at work, in your patrol car, have it on you in your pocket, turns out he was on the security cameras stealin the drugs from evidence, on camera erasing people's files for them, erasing evidence off of several files, go out to his patrol unit, right there in the seat is his crack pipes, bags of the drugs on the seat, had it in his pockets even, was proved it was drugs seized and from the evidence room, and he got absolutely NOTHIN, no charges, zilch. Was just "let go" silently. The biggest kick of it all, his dad is a state trooper. Who got him off every single time. It's just unbelievable, how it's a WHOLE different story and standard they get to live by. Smh. And I'm just scratchin the surface. 😔
The government's controllers run the illegal substances, but we're supposed to believe that the 2nd biggest business in the world is run by inner-city losers who never finished school. We're supposed to believe that they are capable of running a business so smoothly that at any time on any street corner in the world their product is readily available at a cost low enough for all of the locals to be able to afford. We're supposed to believe that the powers-that-be would allow these outsiders to control that much of the world's wealth. We're supposed to believe that 4 years was adequate time to take down Germany, but 40 years of a war-on-"D" can't stop a few scary Colombian kingpins. We're supposed to believe that the war on "D" is because "D" are bad for you, but you're allowed to pickle yourself with alcohol all you want. We're supposed to believe that imprisoning vast swaths of society in the name of the war-on-"D" is worth the damage done to families when their loved ones go to prison. We're supposed to believe that the war-on-"D" in anything BUT a new form of slavery, a new form of totalitarianism, a new 'justification' for the removal of peoples rights, a new way to oppress certain segments of society, a new tool for fear-mongering in a world where the whole political system operates by pandering to a falsely perceived fear of ones neighbours and fellow countrymen.
Well he wouldn’t have mentioned his occupation if it was just about what he got off on. Either way, people think Doctor’s sit around reading books and listening to classical music. How do you think some doctors made it through residency back in the 80s? Cocaine lol
I retired from the hospital I worked at. 2 years after I retired the hospital administrator who was also a doctor, his brother and another doctor were arrested and are now serving time for drug trafficking. They were writing prescriptions to each other. They would even drive to different parts of the states and pick up thousands of opiates and selling. It was was a pretty big sting operation in our small town and hospital. I worked with these doctors in the ER and had no clue. I still can't believe it, even some of their family members were involved. They were apparently being watched and investigated for a while before the big raid / bust. SMH
@@hollymiranda0826 no it was that he thought it was weird for a doctor to have a kink like that, which is really naive, especially for someone who was supposedly so deep in the underworld
I noticed that he went out of his way to say that the prostitute who got bombed was being paid and wasn't "working off charges". I wonder whether he regrets the risks to which he subjected the sex workers whose desire for freedom he exploited.
Mark, your philosphy in interviewing is very good. It seems about eliciting a diatribe that can be discerned by the listener. I'm an etoh and other drug Nursing 'sister' that has worked in detox/rehab services with all medical disciplines including all facets of law enforcement for over 40 + years. 'Kevin' gives me a bad feeling with his told story. I am no bleeding heart & think wickedness needs 'firm' handling but his tale sounds self excusing from a distance. There are sneaky very good cops yet many dodgy ones with a good story... Thank you.
The people that ive seen that are good at keeping work and personal life separate, are the people that are honestly competent and proficient in their job enough that they never feel like their job is threatened. Those are the people that don't feel the anxiety to 'pair up' with anyone at work to strengthen themselves
10:00 in a similar situation happened with one of my uncles. The lady actually wrote about him and the experience. Made me wonder if it wasnt the same incident. I do have family down in the Tampa area as well.
I think it’s his lack of ego, his straight demeanour, and even an inner gentleness that led to his success rather than gift of gab. That’s what comes across to me.
Professional busy bodies... eugh... I just don't understand why someone would place themselves in a position where one is required to do a job that makes them stop victimless crimes that were made up by politicians to bolster their perceived virtues by creating a self-perpituating system of drug-criminality.
Unfortunately many have been conditioned to believing drug users and prostitutes are "sub-human" and they(ie the cop in the video) are better than the drug user both morally and we will say "genetically". This mindset makes it easy for them to arrest and exploit them as an informant. This is not that different than how slave owners viewed slaves...by believing that the slaves you own are morally and genetically inferior, they can justify the cruelty of enslaving a fellow human.
As someone in law enforcement for 28 years good for you brother had a great career kept it all in perspective and made family your priority. Having the ability to separate the two is not always easy. Enjoy your retirement it’s well deserved .
“You’re not supposed to get personal with your informants” he says. But they will try to make you think you’re family. Don’t fall for it. Clean yourself up and don’t get used by any manipulators, cops or otherwise.
I wonder if this man knows he did absolutely nothing to fix the drug problem in America. It's sad, but true. He's just a small cog in the prison industrial complex, fighting a "war on drugs" that everyone knows can't be won through arresting "bad guys." They try harder, it gets worse. We need to educate the public so they can make sensible decisions around drugs, regulate access, and treat drug misuse and substance use disorder.
I bet the guys that worked with him are laughing watching this interview. I’m sure he never took a taste, never planted drugs. He admitted to using poor black women as pawns and not even protecting them.
Can we just talk about informants? They’re risking their lives because they don’t care about themselves enough not to. But law enforcement should. It’s disgusting.
Additionally, I'm curious, he never mentions what happens to the informants afterwards. He says that the police provide pay/dropping of charges. It sems like the police don't help get the informants out of their life situations and get them treatment (addictions/mental health) or other help. Did the police truly help these people or just let them go when convenient and continue their lifestyle of self destruction? The cycle continues.
@@natehankes8082they don't, they lie and manipulate them, toss them to the curb when they are done. You're a tool to them, maybe on the tier of a working animal on a farm, that's it.
The ‘War On Drugs’ is not a lost struggle, it was a big success. It’s functioning as it was intended to. The problem is most citizens and a few cops like him didn’t understand the government’s true intentions. The true intention was to build the prison industrial complex. By its very design the ‘War On Drugs’ could only make the problem worse, giving the political parties something to campaign on while giving the government manufactured consent to legislate more intrusive laws over the people and militarize its police departments… all with the consent and support of the public. It’s how we ended up a country with longer sentences for non violent drug offenses than for SA’ing child. Trillions go into funding narcotics task forces throughput the country, police departments nationwide have bigger and better funded narcotics units that they do child sex crimes units who hunt down pedos.
Destroys families for victimless "crimes" that all humans have done since the day we figured out how. For cash. Built an empire on it, retired early. "Nothing but respect". "We love our domestic occupying force, even if they are evil, it's their job after all that makes it okay!".
It takes some balls to work in undercover narcotics. You slip up, get recognised or the dealers even slightly suspect you may be a cop, you're very likely to disappear one night, never to be heard from again.
I dont trust this guy. I could and hope im wrong but he strikes me as a desperate undercover cop in his days doing this, he probanly did all types of dirty tactics to get informants and possibly even lie to them and reassuring/promising their protection . Again, I could be wrong, and he's one of a kind.
I literally watched Florida police on cops episodes doing reverse stings selling people dimes and dubs of weed and then arresting them and taking their cars and property
This dude is weird. He doesn't seem to understand how useless his undercover buy-bust techniques are, which he's dedicated his career to, to combatting the actual drug problem. Also why does he feel the need to shame some dudes for their specific harmless fetishes? He couldn't have picked some sex offenders, child rapists or murderers as examples for crazy people?
How does it feel to know that you wasted 23 years and on a macro level, drugs are just as accessible as they were when you started, only thing that's changed is that they're more dangerous? Serious question, I'm not trying to take a jab or anything, you said you looked at it like any other job so I figured you'd be a good person to ask.
@@tomdragon5272 Makes sense. I guess if he was DEA or something and spend his entire life thinking he made a difference, that might change around his feelings. Some cops get such a huge ego, like they're the thin blue line between order and chaos but I don't get those vibes from this guy
I really like hearing from good guys, like Kevin. Much respect to him for keeping the right perspective in life and using his time in law enforcement for good!
I wonder if he knows his life's work helped no one and was completely useless.. humans have been taking drugs and seeking alternate states of consciousness for all of human history.. to try and stop it over the past 50-100 years is an exercise in futility..give people safe choices regarding drugs and rehabilitation if/when they choose.. legalization, education and rehabilitation is the only adult answer to this problem.. what they say is the definition of insanity?.. repeating the same thing over and over and expecting a different result?.. sounds like yhe insanity of the war on drugs.. and obviously it just made it worse. especially considering drug overdose deaths in 1972 was about 2500 a year when the war on drugs started.. fast forward 50 year with the war on drugs and we've had over 100,000 drug overdose deaths in 2022 alone.. the war on drugs is a proven failed policy with 50 years of data to prove failed.. gross
Please stop with that tired argument. Will legalization stop drugs from ruining lives, creating orphans, causing death, and harming society? NO. Human beings need to be told no. We will destroy ourselves without restrictions. The failure of the "war on drugs" is being lazy and chasing low-hanging fruit. If LE went to war with cartels and kingpins instead of addicts and prossies, we wouldn't be in this predicament. But they won't.
The narcs cross the line most of the time. When i got busted for selling pot in the early 70's in Inglewood,CA. The group that got me took 90% of the kilos and the money too and when i went to court they'd turned in 1100 grams out of a out 10 keys and turned in about $100 out of much more and were absolutely giddy on the way to jail and cajoling each other and sayin, " hey this is fun let's go around and get some more"
I was set up to buy 1 gram of a schedule 1 narcotic by SDPD in CA, 1 gram...they treated me like I was pablo escobar, kind of lost my respect for undercover officers and what they do after that day.
It's a bit weird, he somehow has the most kind of beard you can have while still not really committing to wear a full beard 🤔... Doesn't beat the guy in my neighborhood though, who wears a complete beard on one side of his face, while being completely shaved on the other side 😂
A genuinely good guy. I can relate to the prostitution stories a lot. Thank you so much for sharing the reality while maintaining your morals & values!
If you're becoming a police officer for only the check, you're not a good police officer. I've had a terrible math teacher doing the same and let me say again, she was horrible at her job. I think police officers should be required to go through a more rigorous training.

That, sir, is not a lie. 🤔😁
Weird as fuck. FTP 💋
@@billymack333Lots of untold stories under that beard for sure
Yes, but seems his mustache was abducted, probably for study.
@@billymack333 please keep that mindset when you need then, moron.
He’s right, bad apples everywhere. I had a weird run in with Tampa PD while driving downtown one night. I’m a black dude and a country white boy who was a friend of mine warned me about Polk county boys who joined Tampa PD just to mess with minorities. That didn’t blow my mind, but the fact that he gave me a sincere warning did.
@@baublesanddolls I didn’t think too much into it as he is an ex cop and that’s how they describe people. “White Female”…”Black Male”
The prostitute threw those bad apples at the doctors ass
Those polk county boys would be in pc's because they wouldn't last a day in general population those are not real g's.
I grew up in Lakeland. Fuck Polk County.........miss it sometimes but that place is one of a kind.
My black coworkers used to warn me that bc Im white that they would target us if we carpooled at night. I believe the FL cop slang used for this was sighting a "salt and pepper" ...white and black person in the same car.
its weird that someone who worked so long in Florida Vice, thinks the most weird things are the harmless kinks of rich people. Like rich people are less insane. They just have more money to spend and indulge.
Loving the variety of your videos lately and glad you're branching out. Thanks for the vids!
Kevin still in disguise with the clip on beard
so clip on. i keep expecting it to fall off like my stupid clip on tie i'm supposed to wear at work for event security....!
Using vulnerable women to catch small time drug dealers when they know who ships it over.
U think street wise prostitutes are vulnerable women?! Lol, c'mon man, get real, dude! 😮😅😂

10:23 This guy's cases got a CI mailbombed & he shows zero care. Turning this one off...wtf man. You wouldn't even HAVE the case if it wasn't for your CI's.
CIs can be serious losers-I know, my drug addicted older sister was one. She’s an evil person and the ONLY reason she ever informed on anyone was to save herself and she was as guilty, or even more culpable than those on whom she was informing. She’d throw ANYBODY under the bus just so she never had to face any consequences. This included using other people’s identities when she’d get arrested for the most grimy crimes. She did this to me when I was a teenager, got arrested and used my information-Ive never been in trouble. How embarrassing! I have no sympathy/empathy for people who involve themselves in criminal behavior and activities. CIs are the worst. She also was involved in a man’s death and a major arson and NEVER was charged in either case. SMH 🤦🏻♀️ She’s in her 60s now and just as big a menace to society as she was in her 20s, just in different ways.
Lol wut?
awesome interview. His wife, who was both a nurse and a cop, sounds like an outstanding individual, too.
Sounds like a traitor, locking his fellow citizens in a cage for simply selling a product
@@jasonbachelor604 It’s called accountability which is something some of you taxpayers seem to have a problem with. People like you are the very reason WHY law-enforcement exists.

Thank you for your service, sir. Good to hear from a straight shooter in this world of corruption
Someone who dyes their beard like that is NOT a straight shooter
@@reesie54couldn’t have said it better myself
It's amazing that this guy was able to stay so even keeled after being an under cover cop and seeing what he has seen for 20+ years.
It helps to be as dumb as he is-to be gullible enough to unreservedly drink the Kool-Aid without ever questioning authority-and not capable of openly reflecting on all the innocent non-violent lives he’s ruined. (Kevin describing himself as “quick-witted” is a classic example of the Dunning-Kruger effect in action; I’m sure he’s smart for Tampa, but that isn’t saying much.) Instead he just plays golf and humblebrags and laughs all the way to the bank with an early retirement and a pension paid for by the same citizenry he terrorized.
How many hookers did he violate
1000% Kevin (the dude in the narc in the video) has tried the drugs and taken some of the money he has got while on the job 🤣.. dudes capping 💯
News alert. He's NOT even keeled.
🤡
Paid informants are 1 thing... Informants working on charges is a terrible position to put people in. You take desperate people that feel they are screwed and you put them at risk. Promises of "protection" are made and not followed through. Building a case on someone and setting them up is bullshit.
Don't get me wrong, dealers are scum and deserve everything they get. Preying on addicts and addiction is complete bullshit
I don't see a difference. If they're being paid and taking the same risk, they must also be 'desperate'.
@@awakenotwoke1973 I agree. They are desperate....But waving someone's freedom, family, life , job and everything else over their head is way worse than waving some money at them and paying. The paid ones have a different type of choice to make.
@@Mikey2Times I'm just not sure any of those things you're saying are being waved over their heads really apply to most of those people that would be working off charges though.
I expect the charges being avoided are not for prostitution. What's that, 90 days in county? No one risks life and limb to avoid that.
Mark always delivers the best. Also fully understands the concept of interviewing. Thank you.
Kevin,
Your interviews are so interesting. Thank you
"I never thought about taking a penny. To me that was stealing. I would've been almost as much a criminal as them." hat's off sir. There are lots of dirty cops out there participating in drug distribution.
Thank you for never thinking about, let alone ever discussing where his income derives from in the first place. If I had a hat, I'd throw it on the ground in your honor.
thats exactly what a dirty cop would say
@@BradDrawsStuffliterally:D
Screw him he's playing a huge part in Mass Incarceration.
He made a living, a great living with early pension, off of protecting big pharma's bottom line. Destroyed millions of lives, families, kids. Why? Because an oligarch decided you should only be allowed medicine if you pay them for permission, and bought it from them exclusively? You know, the thing that human beings have been doing since before we were we were even called modern man? Yeah, he ruined lives over that, for profit. Turned countries into cartels, cost billions of dollars to fund his lifestyle, and of course for prison labor, in war against people even he admits he had no affect on. That is the same today as it was when he started, they were all just sacrifices to his bank account. And you're thanking him, and shining his boot, for supposedly not stealing even more money from us while he was destroying families over plants and chemicals? Have some damn pride and respect for your fellow man. Prohibition doesn't work, all it has accomplished is death, unsafe drugs, worsened addiction, and financed the worlds largest domestic army. Stop thanking your occupying forces. Your current VP made her fortune from arresting people for smoking plants, then giggled like a little school girl when asked if she herself ever smoked it. The "anti cop communist POTUS" literally wrote the crime bill and added 100k MORE cops, to the worlds largest police force, as one of his first acts. One of the very few things he's even tried to do. And people complain he hates police and needs to do even more. It's not for your safety, it's for your enslavement. At least stop worshipping them. And I know it's hard, I grew up around cops, wanted to be a cop, watched all 10 million pro cop shows that were on back then. And now there are even more. But people need to wake up to this, for the sake of their future. This isn't working, they are taking advantage of your ignorance. Don't wait until they kick in your door with a bad warrant and shoot your dog, act now while it's only happening to your neighbor. Not that I have any problem with this channel showcasing criminals, that's what I watch for. As long as it's acknowledged what they are.
He's laying it on pretty thick that he "never did anything wrong" lol
This man sounds like a great guy! I lived in KC Mo back in the late 60s. My two sister in laws were prostitutes. One was a bad junkie who got my husband on heroin. The cops beat the crap out of the girls constantly! Some of the stories they told me were horrible to me..but part of their life! They had several big stars who were regulars. And yes, they named them! Two you’d never believe! It’s also true about the sports players. My
Mom was a friend with a lady who worked the “switchboard “ in a prominent hotel and she said the minute the players got to the hotel they’d start calling their “hookers” and this lady would listen in on the conversation! Lol. She also named names! This has been happening forever but it’s a breath of fresh air to hear this man was honest. You don’t find that in the business much anymore! Great video, Mark!
Unfortunately the drug war was lost a long time ago and should never have happened anyway.
So what's the alternative? Having really seen any other country in the world combat drugs with anything other than laws.
@@blastermike_sd70ace80harm reduction. Make a bad thing better or make something bad even worse
@@blastermike_sd70ace80We couldn't be combatting them. Legalize and regulate them so they're safe, and use the tax revenue fund rehab programs. Legalizing drugs would lead to a massive reduction in gun violence as well. The war on drugs was nothing more than a way to target minorities and hippies from the beginning. You worry too much about other people's personal lives.
Lmaooooo exactly they were government funded lmao smh
@@Hedonistic0Frogname checks out

Great interview. Thank you Kevin for your service and keeping drugs off the street. So proud of you and your Jersey roots. I could tell from the beginning of your interview that you were from North Jersey.
I love how on the topic of mental illness he did not go to some out of control crazy homeless person but the outwardly successful people who have deviant fetishes, and props to Mark for the comment 'well at least nobody is getting hurt'.
Who's getting hurt by grown adults exchanging sex for money? Nobody
Yet this revenue farmers for a state blackmails poor ladies to bust people with a product that is lucrative because the state makes it illegal..
Yeah that was interesting. Like, duh, of COURSE it's the doctors, lawyers and professional ball players who do the crazy stuff. They're the ones with huge egos and money.
"She was blown up and severally injured. I never did go to see her"
Tells you everything you need to know about these cops and what they think about the "Informants" they think so much of and make their entire careers.....
There's a special place in hell for these people. Most of the worst criminals are cops themselves...
Why are these cops not putting the child molesters in jail for life instead of drug addict's/dealers? Take all the time you need to think about that one...
Tells me about this cop... not cops.
Exactly! And when he mentions how they "helped" the informants, how so other than pay/dropping of charges? If they didn't help provide treatment (addiction & mental health counseling, etc.) did they actually help the informants?
Because putting away child molesters isn't profitable.
What drug addicts/dealers are getting life in prison anymore?
@scottmcdermand5350
Not many. Housing them cost money. Catch and release generates money.
Sick yet lucrative business model.
"Life styles of the rich and famous." LOL Good One Mark!
He is SO damn right! It's definitely a drug problem caused by corruption.
This guy seems to be in denial. For one thing, he doesn’t even mention mental illness as a huge part of drug addiction and life on the streets-as if he turned a blind eye to it when he worked the streets. Instead, he mentions second-hand stories about rich guys with fetishes, which fits his definition of “crazy.” Also, what happened to his “love” for working the streets, including the adrenaline high he got from it? All of a sudden, he could separate his home life from that and his work was just a “job” like any other? I find him implausible.
@Eloiseat6 yeah agreed and he says he has the gift of the gab, though some of his answers are odd, and to “What’s the most important lesson you’ve learnt?” He lists most things under the sun then, “aaarrrgh, Tampa Dept was by the book, Tampa was straight laced.” 😅
Age does a lot when it comes to adrenaline rushes. I'd chill too with a good pension in my 50's.
I find him implausible as well. But maybe that goes along with his job which, although on the "right" side of the law, asked him to perform morally ambiguous work in very stressful situations.
Maybe he just wanted to be one of the good guys; not to change the world but just put law breakers in front of a judge and jury... and then go to his kids little league practice.
The emphasis on how good he was over and over …suss!!,think he has convinced himself of it .
One of the worst interviews I have see .
He exploited those ladies of the night so he no saint .
"She had this one guy who liked for her to throw rotten fruit at his bare behind and this other guy who liked for her to poo on a glass table. There's some weird people out there."
"Coming up next, on Soft White Underbelly..."
Maybe he just really likes chocolate soft serve.
the problem with these stories is they never tackle the underlying reasons why anything is happening. Not everyone is a head case.
This is so true
Oh shut up
"Most agencies around the country run a tight ship"
Lies.
"If I tasted drugs working a case I would be fired"
Lies
This is exactly what I’d expect an undercover narc to look like and think like.
Yes, totally. Agree 100000%
Scum. Yep
Beard fake as hell
I’d expect long hair and a real beard
a terrible one
Drug war does more harm than good. Unregulated drugs. Crime. No tax money. But hey this guy didn't have to do paperwork and could wear street clothes to work.
lol truth
Having as one's primary tactic deliberately setting up drug addicted women - who have had to reduce themselves to prostitution in order to survive - with pretty criminal cases so they can be strong-armed into becoming informants and risking their lives to do so with barely any compensation in return seems morally questionable. Maybe he's not a criminal in the strictest sense of the word, but his tactics seem likely to have some difficult questions waiting for him when he gets to the gates of heaven and rings the bell to get in.
He evil
Absolutely. And not only the women in that scenario suffer but their kids too.
Unfortunately he was conditioned to think prostitute drug addicts are "sub human" therefore the do not have moral concerns about putting them at risk and prosecuting them if they do not produce.
This is how people can look past the human element and put people they consider "lesser" in these dangerous situations.
Perfect virtue signaling. Congratulations.
@@KHX274 Huh?
Consistently letting "informants" free of their crime for doing your work should be a crime in itself.
Truth. My town is infested with meth and opiates. It's a small town and the cops can't do anything because everyone involved is an informant. They just snitch on each other and the cops let them go.
Thanks Kevin and Mark.
Law enforcement would shudder at the idea of this country being drug-free. Drugs are their reason for being. Just one nuclear bomb could be detected anywhere entering this country. Drugs of all sorts must make it to every city of every state in this country in order for Law enforcement to reap its many benefits.
Your abseight. The ‘War On Drugs’ is a self perpetuating war. It was never set up to fight, end, or even lessen, drug use in the US. It was set up to build and feed America’s prison industrial complex.
At the top level yes
EXACTLY. It's nothin bit corruption from the highest office of the land, down to the very bottom, and all in between. It's so much worse than just last year even!! It's in the towns with population of 25, all the way to the places with billions, it is EVERYWHERE. And I know so many people in the tiny town I grew up in and lived for most of my entire life, that are absolutely taken over and consumed by not just meth anymore, that's not even a comparison to all the people on this fentanyl, and they overdose every single day, every hit they do, and I know that there's been a few people, do it, looked at the others, smiled, took one step, literally, and fell over dead. The narcan just isn't workin on the kind they're usin down there, with xylazine. And it's ALL ages too, from super young kids, to people in their 60,s, 70s, and even 80s. My dad is 66 and this is his life right now, it's our reality. And sittin there watchin your "friends" drop over dead doesn't stop them. It's beyond sad. The cops don't do a thing. There's so many on it too right now, and meth. My dad does it to escape and numb his grief, of losin my mama unexpectedly and then my brother gettin murdered and covered up by these so called town officials. It was mighty easy when you're a cop, own most businesses in the town, and was my brothers deputy coroner. And this happened only four stinkin months after mama died from encephalitis, after only bein 51 for a month. My brother had just turned 34. And now I live every day just waitin for a call about dad, this fentanyl is a whole different thing....😔 Another example of how corrupt it really is, you can be a cop, be on meth, cocaine, fentanyl, all the pills etc, be doin it at work, in your patrol car, have it on you in your pocket, turns out he was on the security cameras stealin the drugs from evidence, on camera erasing people's files for them, erasing evidence off of several files, go out to his patrol unit, right there in the seat is his crack pipes, bags of the drugs on the seat, had it in his pockets even, was proved it was drugs seized and from the evidence room, and he got absolutely NOTHIN, no charges, zilch. Was just "let go" silently. The biggest kick of it all, his dad is a state trooper. Who got him off every single time. It's just unbelievable, how it's a WHOLE different story and standard they get to live by. Smh. And I'm just scratchin the surface. 😔
The government's controllers run the illegal substances, but we're supposed to believe that the 2nd biggest business in the world is run by inner-city losers who never finished school. We're supposed to believe that they are capable of running a business so smoothly that at any time on any street corner in the world their product is readily available at a cost low enough for all of the locals to be able to afford. We're supposed to believe that the powers-that-be would allow these outsiders to control that much of the world's wealth. We're supposed to believe that 4 years was adequate time to take down Germany, but 40 years of a war-on-"D" can't stop a few scary Colombian kingpins. We're supposed to believe that the war on "D" is because "D" are bad for you, but you're allowed to pickle yourself with alcohol all you want. We're supposed to believe that imprisoning vast swaths of society in the name of the war-on-"D" is worth the damage done to families when their loved ones go to prison. We're supposed to believe that the war-on-"D" in anything BUT a new form of slavery, a new form of totalitarianism, a new 'justification' for the removal of peoples rights, a new way to oppress certain segments of society, a new tool for fear-mongering in a world where the whole political system operates by pandering to a falsely perceived fear of ones neighbours and fellow countrymen.
“Not Hurting Anybody”. 😂😂😂😂
Awesome interview.
Much respect for this man.
Thank you 😊
What a great man 🙏 the world needs more people like this.
Oh Lord u believe this specific guy?
Lol, he preyed on prostitutes to get what he wanted. Real great guy!!
Preyed on poor black women, one of them got a bomb and he didn’t protect her and hung out with a pretty white girl.
I love how he assumes that a dr would never do that. Yes. Yes they do and will! Naive for a cop
It’s what the guy (doc) “got off” from that he found odd… not so much that he was a doctor.
Well he wouldn’t have mentioned his occupation if it was just about what he got off on. Either way, people think Doctor’s sit around reading books and listening to classical music. How do you think some doctors made it through residency back in the 80s? Cocaine lol
I retired from the hospital I worked at. 2 years after I retired the hospital administrator who was also a doctor, his brother and another doctor were arrested and are now serving time for drug trafficking. They were writing prescriptions to each other. They would even drive to different parts of the states and pick up thousands of opiates and selling. It was was a pretty big sting operation in our small town and hospital. I worked with these doctors in the ER and had no clue. I still can't believe it, even some of their family members were involved. They were apparently being watched and investigated for a while before the big raid / bust. SMH
@@hollymiranda0826 no it was that he thought it was weird for a doctor to have a kink like that, which is really naive, especially for someone who was supposedly so deep in the underworld
@@cherylnasco1866 serving time.... They're playing racquetball and having the garlic sliced razor thin for dinner...😆
good morning! thanks for sharing this mark:-)
😚🍑
I noticed that he went out of his way to say that the prostitute who got bombed was being paid and wasn't "working off charges". I wonder whether he regrets the risks to which he subjected the sex workers whose desire for freedom he exploited.
i love how he describes everyone he knows like a perp
Mark, your philosphy in interviewing is very good. It seems about eliciting a diatribe that can be discerned by the listener. I'm an etoh and other drug Nursing 'sister' that has worked in detox/rehab services with all medical disciplines including all facets of law enforcement for over 40 + years. 'Kevin' gives me a bad feeling with his told story. I am no bleeding heart & think wickedness needs 'firm' handling but his tale sounds self excusing from a distance. There are sneaky very good cops yet many dodgy ones with a good story... Thank you.
This man's beard is more epic than the interview itself...
The people that ive seen that are good at keeping work and personal life separate, are the people that are honestly competent and proficient in their job enough that they never feel like their job is threatened. Those are the people that don't feel the anxiety to 'pair up' with anyone at work to strengthen themselves
Yep, totally agree because I'm one of them...a lone wolf at my job. If I have to be a team player, I can..but if I had my choice, I go in alone👍
The image I have of a Tampa PD undercover is Burt Reynolds in Cop and a Half.
"Thousands of dollars on a monthly basis." Ooooohhh!!!😂😂😂
10:00 in a similar situation happened with one of my uncles. The lady actually wrote about him and the experience. Made me wonder if it wasnt the same incident. I do have family down in the Tampa area as well.
I think it’s his lack of ego, his straight demeanour, and even an inner gentleness that led to his success rather than gift of gab. That’s what comes across to me.
100%
Thank you for your service Kevin! People really need to hear this and hopefully hear more similar stories to yours. Thanks again Brother!! God Speed!
“Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” …. Thanks, Mark!😂❤
Professional busy bodies... eugh...
I just don't understand why someone would place themselves in a position where one is required to do a job that makes them stop victimless crimes that were made up by politicians to bolster their perceived virtues by creating a self-perpituating system of drug-criminality.
Disgusting an manipulative people. I have no respect. None.
Unfortunately many have been conditioned to believing drug users and prostitutes are "sub-human" and they(ie the cop in the video) are better than the drug user both morally and we will say "genetically". This mindset makes it easy for them to arrest and exploit them as an informant.
This is not that different than how slave owners viewed slaves...by believing that the slaves you own are morally and genetically inferior, they can justify the cruelty of enslaving a fellow human.
Underrated comment.
Kevin is as clean a detective as he can get. Salute to him for never giving in to temptation even if he comes face-to-face with it every single day.
Oh so you know him personally? Have you read his file?
Depends on your definition of clean. I consider the very nature of the job of a vice cop to be dirty.
As someone in law enforcement for 28 years good for you brother had a great career kept it all in perspective and made family your priority. Having the ability to separate the two is not always easy. Enjoy your retirement it’s well deserved .
So, what kind of dirty work did you do on the force ?
“You’re not supposed to get personal with your informants” he says. But they will try to make you think you’re family. Don’t fall for it. Clean yourself up and don’t get used by any manipulators, cops or otherwise.
I wonder if this man knows he did absolutely nothing to fix the drug problem in America. It's sad, but true. He's just a small cog in the prison industrial complex, fighting a "war on drugs" that everyone knows can't be won through arresting "bad guys." They try harder, it gets worse. We need to educate the public so they can make sensible decisions around drugs, regulate access, and treat drug misuse and substance use disorder.
Good man, Kevin you're a credit to the human race.
I bet the guys that worked with him are laughing watching this interview. I’m sure he never took a taste, never planted drugs. He admitted to using poor black women as pawns and not even protecting them.
So they let women work off their charges, and go after men. This country is all kinda fucked up!!!
Can we just talk about informants? They’re risking their lives because they don’t care about themselves enough not to. But law enforcement should. It’s disgusting.
Additionally, I'm curious, he never mentions what happens to the informants afterwards. He says that the police provide pay/dropping of charges. It sems like the police don't help get the informants out of their life situations and get them treatment (addictions/mental health) or other help.
Did the police truly help these people or just let them go when convenient and continue their lifestyle of self destruction?
The cycle continues.
@@natehankes8082they don't, they lie and manipulate them, toss them to the curb when they are done. You're a tool to them, maybe on the tier of a working animal on a farm, that's it.
Another great interview, thanks Mark!
Interesting interview. Thanks for sharing it.
nothing but respect for this man....even if the war on drugs is definetely a lost struggle...
Cause they enforce and restrict they make it into a lucrative product and are the cause of the bloodshed and turf battles and voilence
Even though the war on drugs has always been a dismal failure, pigs keep doing it because there's money in it for them... Plain and simple.
The ‘War On Drugs’ is not a lost struggle, it was a big success. It’s functioning as it was intended to. The problem is most citizens and a few cops like him didn’t understand the government’s true intentions. The true intention was to build the prison industrial complex. By its very design the ‘War On Drugs’ could only make the problem worse, giving the political parties something to campaign on while giving the government manufactured consent to legislate more intrusive laws over the people and militarize its police departments… all with the consent and support of the public. It’s how we ended up a country with longer sentences for non violent drug offenses than for SA’ing child. Trillions go into funding narcotics task forces throughput the country, police departments nationwide have bigger and better funded narcotics units that they do child sex crimes units who hunt down pedos.
Destroys families for victimless "crimes" that all humans have done since the day we figured out how. For cash. Built an empire on it, retired early. "Nothing but respect". "We love our domestic occupying force, even if they are evil, it's their job after all that makes it okay!".
Having any amount of respect for this pig is indicative of being part of what’s wrong with the world.
It takes some balls to work in undercover narcotics. You slip up, get recognised or the dealers even slightly suspect you may be a cop, you're very likely to disappear one night, never to be heard from again.
Or even find yourself in a corner where you have to stick a needle in your arm. Happens to the best of them.
As someone who was born and raised in Tampa, this interview might be my favorite. Thank you Mark.
He was hanging out on Nebraska in Sligh!!
I dont trust this guy. I could and hope im wrong but he strikes me as a desperate undercover cop in his days doing this, he probanly did all types of dirty tactics to get informants and possibly even lie to them and reassuring/promising their protection . Again, I could be wrong, and he's one of a kind.
"Street level dope dealers".... This guy ruined kids' life for selling a bit of weed.
Narcotics
Crack, not weed. It was real.
I literally watched Florida police on cops episodes doing reverse stings selling people dimes and dubs of weed and then arresting them and taking their cars and property
Don't do drugs. Get job.
Don't break the law and get a real job. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes
The garden gnome look😂😅😂😂
This dude is weird. He doesn't seem to understand how useless his undercover buy-bust techniques are, which he's dedicated his career to, to combatting the actual drug problem. Also why does he feel the need to shame some dudes for their specific harmless fetishes? He couldn't have picked some sex offenders, child rapists or murderers as examples for crazy people?
Who ever said this guy was a cop, plenty of stolen valour around,
This comment aged great #diddydoit?
Thought his beard was a shadow and couldnt see half his face😂😂
His beard is the wig he wore on the beat..
🤣
my fathers a retired narco detective here in Hawaii. After he retired he got out of state. The drug empire here has alot of money, its dangerous
Pay attention: his facial hair is for some reason the latest thing with white undercover drug cops.
I'm sure he was speeding at one time or another. He's no better than the rest of us. Cops always act like they NEVER break the law.
Why would he have to mention if he didn't do it he probably did take money
Speeding and slinging rock are two different things
How does it feel to know that you wasted 23 years and on a macro level, drugs are just as accessible as they were when you started, only thing that's changed is that they're more dangerous? Serious question, I'm not trying to take a jab or anything, you said you looked at it like any other job so I figured you'd be a good person to ask.
I don’t think he wasted anything, it was a paycheck to him.
@@tomdragon5272 Makes sense. I guess if he was DEA or something and spend his entire life thinking he made a difference, that might change around his feelings. Some cops get such a huge ego, like they're the thin blue line between order and chaos but I don't get those vibes from this guy
@@baublesanddolls Could have just said it without the "!" but either way works I guess 😆
Totally agree what a waste of time, seems very proud of it too.
Good Stuff! Thank you for the content
He sure thinks alot of himself.
a lil Beardo envy or.....
Found one
I love the mental health he talked about. You can tell he kept work separate even talking about everything is just another day
He's great. But actually less animated and bit boring compared to other retired cop interviews on this channel?
Thnx Mark for ur work..

"Why you wear your beard like that?"
He replied,

I wonder if he knows his life's work helped no one and was completely useless.. humans have been taking drugs and seeking alternate states of consciousness for all of human history.. to try and stop it over the past 50-100 years is an exercise in futility..give people safe choices regarding drugs and rehabilitation if/when they choose.. legalization, education and rehabilitation is the only adult answer to this problem.. what they say is the definition of insanity?.. repeating the same thing over and over and expecting a different result?.. sounds like yhe insanity of the war on drugs.. and obviously it just made it worse. especially considering drug overdose deaths in 1972 was about 2500 a year when the war on drugs started.. fast forward 50 year with the war on drugs and we've had over 100,000 drug overdose deaths in 2022 alone.. the war on drugs is a proven failed policy with 50 years of data to prove failed.. gross
Please stop with that tired argument. Will legalization stop drugs from ruining lives, creating orphans, causing death, and harming society? NO. Human beings need to be told no. We will destroy ourselves without restrictions. The failure of the "war on drugs" is being lazy and chasing low-hanging fruit. If LE went to war with cartels and kingpins instead of addicts and prossies, we wouldn't be in this predicament. But they won't.
I thought I was the only one who thinks like this! Thank you!!!
Useless job? Wow, come back to reality! If he busted a dealer that would've sold drugs to your child you'd be singing a different tune. 🤡
I’d support providing “safe” drugs and rehab in…if the addicts were the ones paying for it. Until then, the rest of us are paying for it.
Agreed... also ook at the crackdown on prescription opiates... and we have more overdoses now thanks to the fentanyl tabs replacing real medication.
I was born in Summit and grew up in Madison. Overlook Hospital. What a small world
The narcs cross the line most of the time. When i got busted for selling pot in the early 70's in Inglewood,CA. The group that got me took 90% of the kilos and the money too and when i went to court they'd turned in 1100 grams out of a out 10 keys and turned in about $100 out of much more and were absolutely giddy on the way to jail and cajoling each other and sayin, " hey this is fun let's go around and get some more"
Then they did you a favor. The money and weed was going to be wasted anyway atleast it got used. Cat and mouse .the mouse lost
Imagine having everything they took. You'd still be In jail.
I can’t believe he described a Cleveland steamer😂😂😂
I was set up to buy 1 gram of a schedule 1 narcotic by SDPD in CA, 1 gram...they treated me like I was pablo escobar, kind of lost my respect for undercover officers and what they do after that day.
It’s so wild when you do a video of my hometown lol so used to California!
It's a bit weird, he somehow has the most kind of beard you can have while still not really committing to wear a full beard 🤔...
Doesn't beat the guy in my neighborhood though, who wears a complete beard on one side of his face, while being completely shaved on the other side 😂
Looks a bit Amish.
Imagine being that doctor he talked about and watching this going "Oh my God" XD
loved this. you seem like a great role model for your kids im sure theyre great.
1000% Kevin (the dude in the narc in the video) has tried the drugs and taken some of the money he has got while on the job 🤣.. dudes capping 💯
A genuinely good guy. I can relate to the prostitution stories a lot. Thank you so much for sharing the reality while maintaining your morals & values!
Being able to separate the job from your life is great! You, Sir, have my admiration! Live well! Keep on!
If you're becoming a police officer for only the check, you're not a good police officer. I've had a terrible math teacher doing the same and let me say again, she was horrible at her job. I think police officers should be required to go through a more rigorous training.
