Drug Rehabs Atlanta: Taking a Bite Out of Crime While Putting Police Back in Position – Drug Seizure Money

Policing agencies have always used criminal seizures such as money, vehicles, and property to pay parts of their budget or buy new equipment, but now maybe the desire to make those busts may have an added incentive. In fact, several law-enforcement agencies has been taking drug monies and shoring up their budgets, which have been drastically cut due to lower tax revenues, and government shortfalls. Yes, the economy has taken its toll on our police agencies in a big way.

Now then, getting the drugs isn’t as good as getting the money and assets of these drug gangs, dealers, and over-the-border drug cartels. The money collected in a big bust might just prevent them from losing their jobs, which is what definitely happens to the drug cartel gang members who are caught, as they are cuffed-and-stuffed and moved to a local gated community if you know what I mean?

According to the DEA official newsletter their recent “Operation Four Horsemen” apparently resulted in 8 million dollars in drug money seizures, which will now go back into the operational funds of local Atlanta law enforcement agencies – five agencies in all. This in part will occur thanks to the DEA and Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force program. The recent press release states;

“This investigation further reveals that the greater Atlanta area has become the hub of operations for Mexican cartel groups who seek to destroy lives by distributing a multitude of illegal drugs in the Eastern United States,” and now “the seizure of large sums of U.S. currency from this organization severely disrupted its operations.”

An agency insider told the news gathering; “Today’s sharing of these forfeited funds are a direct result of the great working relationship that DEA continues to have with its federal, state and local counterparts.” And these quotes were displayed on the agency website. So, let’s discuss all this shall we?

Is this a correct use of these funds? Most would agree that it is, and yet, what about other costs associated with the drugs; publicly funded rehabs, court system, drug awareness, etc. If the police catch the bad guys before they distribute they only get the drugs, and not the money, but if they wait until they distribute there is harm done to the community. Addicted teens, violence, and theft to pay for the drugs by those addicted who steal to get the money. See that point.

Realize this article is only to make you think. Since I live in a safe neighborhood, and we don’t have such problems, I am unaffected, but intellectually intrigued by the unnoticed ethical implications of all of this. Please consider it.
