Drug dealers caught after undertaking police car on hard shoulder

Story and police onboard video

You can't legislate for stupid.

What car were they driving? When the passenger jumps out it shows a 'semi gullwing' door (40s in)

Not subtle or low profile, these here drug dealers.

Scum removed from society for awhile.

Others though will have taken their place already.

And they're only the foot soldiers. Pretty low on that particular food chain.

It's great when there are substantial drug busts but it really is only scratching the service, sadly.

13 years in total , probably out in half that. Hardly a deterrent for those backfilling their position within the circles they operate.

For the risk / rewards job it seems like a sensible choice ,they must have had a switched on career advisor in school.

Looks like our "system" has let us down again , the driving charges alone may have got them the same sentence but their part in the "misery" machine should have got them a lot more considering the volume they had.

Rant over - K

They wouldn't have got anywhere near those sentences for the driving charges alone.

And yes, the sentences for their drug involvement should have been much higher.
