There is not a day goes by where the news doesn't report a drug bust, drug related death or some type of illicit or illegal drug activity. The trend to utilize prescription drugs for abuse is becoming more and more prevalent. Drug store thefts, drug diversion, stealing right from peoples homes is becoming far more frequent. Thank goodness law enforcement is now better utilizing all the various sources of information to help track the dealers, users and these criminals down. Utilizing the information collected by the various state agencies and businesses who keep log books, records and that report suspicious prescriptions, as well as those who keep track of persons who make frequent inquiries or seek identification for controlled substances. All of us in the in the general public also need to act as the eyes and ears for the police and report suspicious activity in our neighborhood. If we all combine and report our information we can better assist our police in tracking down these people.

Yes, let's all spy on one another. That's the solution.

Thank you, government official, for saving me! You're my hero!

The term fascist has become hopelessly vague over the years and it is little more than a pejorative epithet mostly utilized by those who have poor understanding of the term. Although a "pig" is a mammal and relatively intelligent compared to the extent of life forms on the planet, I doubt it understands this conceptual ideology, so it indicates that a "fascist pig" could really not exist. Having fought in WWII and Korea, I feel I understand the term perhaps better.

There is a difference between "spying" and being alert and responsible.

Our society is plagued by the double standard of when something happens everybody asks or complains that, "something should have been done to prevent it or somebody should have known it was going to happen" but in contrast, few people take it upon themselves to be the one who initially takes action.

A child is killed or severely injured in a methamphetamine lab explosion operated at a residence, everyone cries out. It is later learned that residence was a den of illicit drug activity. The neighbors say they suspected or thought something was unusual but felt they should mind their own business.

However, another similar incident is averted because police act upon information and comparison of pharmacy logs which indicated suspicious activity and apparent excessive pseudoephedrine purchases. In another incident a concerned neighbor suspicious of what appears to be unusual activity at residence alerts authorites and a meth lab is found and shut down.

A young couple is assaulted and robbed at gunpoint in a parking lot by a person seeking money to support a drug addiction on Vicodin, this same person was seen earlier lurking around the area with no apparent purpose and acting strangely. No one felt it was appropriate to report it.

A neighborhood mostly of elderly individuals have their homes broken into and their medication cabinet ransacked, one poor wheelchair dependant man was home at the time and killed only to prevent him from being a witness. Eventually the person is caught for another crime and on investigation it is learned that he was having narcotic prescriptions filled at different pharmacies - why didn't someone do something then, the public demands.

A young teen dies from an overdose from stolen drugs, turns out there are records that her cell phone number repeatedly shows up calling various pharmacies to identify medications. In a separate incident authorities were alerted to this type activity and earlier intervention gets a 15 y/o into a drug rehabilitation program.

So if you consider that spying, I disagree. I think taking appropriate and precautionary responses on information that is often readily available is the only sensible thing to do and stand by my comments in the initial post.

I've noticed that you keep mentioning in your posts that you fought in WWII and Korea. Could this be where you were brainwashed into thinking that law enforcement does not take away our rights????

Where is the outrage over the activity carried out by drug-driven shoplifters, burglars, car theives, muggers, meth lab operators, pimps & prostitues, etc? The cost to society is enormous.

It's interesting that you retort my exposure of your identity with an emotion-provoking litany of hypothetical evils. Yet, you refuse to reveal your employer. You're a typical fascist bully coward.

Five percent of the world's population lives in the US, but thirty-five percent of the world's prison population lives in the US.

Nice try, but the public is wising up to the inefficacy of your War on Drugs. It's actually a War on the Public. Europeans have decriminalized drug use and have reaped the benefits of decreased crime rates.

We now realize that fascists like you are the problem, not the solution. Fascist societies make everything criminal so that everyone becomes a criminal and can be controlled by you fascists.

Holy crap --, It's like China, or worse ....you mean they keep all these records or whatever, use enhanced caller ID which doesn't allow you to block caller ID and keep databases and such as to whom may call them - then they can go through them and fish around for suspects. No wonder we fell like we are in glass bowel constantly being watched.

Yea, this action certainly keeps our country safe. Particulary with our protector would have to be a minumum of 80-81 years old if actually was in the wars he claimed.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg, after I seen this - my buddies and me went looking around (look at this crap):

http://www.radars.org/
http://www.naddi.org/
http://www.nascsa.org/
http://www.nascsa.org/Folder4/rxmonnascsa.htm

OH PLEASE -this is sickening and means if I call about a pill I need to indentify or would have called too many times according to them, I rack up some number on thier data and alerts them this is more medicine then they think I shoud have, Do I end up on some sort of a hot list? Don't you have nothing better to do?

A friend of mine said simple attempts top block caller ID don't work with 1-800 numbersand emergency or some of plublic state health agenicies or other calls to hotlines and pharmacies, etc.

So what's next? A toilet abuse monitor? It's getting to where there's no privacy in ANYTHING anymore. UGH! but in today's day and age w/electronics and technology I guess privacy goes out the window.

One thing for sure I not calling anyone for pill idetication from this point.

Yeah, notice that our "hero" never answered my question as to his employer. This is a fed propaganda piece, guaranteed. This guy likely works for CentCom. And guess what folks! You're paying this guy to brainwash you! Keep working, paying your taxes and flying those American flags, suckers!
