    Alright I met this dude who's like in his 30's back in late May/early June who I sell 20 bags to pretty consistently. I'm getting kinda worried about it bc he could be an undercover cop. I mean I guess I should label out my pro's and cons for why I'm skeptical. But...would a cop let a kid (18 years old) sell him 20 bags for a long ass time to push a stronger penalty

    + (Why he might be a cop)
    + He's like 20 years older than me
    + He's buying 20 bags every other day sometimes a few days in a row
    + Bought from me Sunday, Monday, and just hit me up at 7 in the morning today??

    - (Why he might not be a cop)
    - Offered to get me alcohol
    - Talked about hash with me? dumb reason
    - Is mad fat to actually be a cop. Don't they have physical requirements??


    Ahh this topic is so lame but I'm worried

    Doesn't matter at this point as he already has enough to bust you. IF you see the purchase volume increase quickly and any request for 1/4 lb+ is mentioned consider it a big "red flag". Nickel and dime dealers are the crumb pickers and the po po generally would like to ring in the bigger movers - via get you by the balls and have you narc.

    yeah people like greenxxx should just stfu if they want to be retarded.

    and thanks...just since im in the suburbs i get kind of paranoid they have nothing else to bust.

    but budbill when you say he has enough to bust me, could he just arrest me at anytime now??

    I'm not budbill, but I'm gonna guess that since he's already purchased weed off of you and that's breaking that law, then he could arrest whenever he feels like it. If he is a cop, maybe he's gonna try to build up to something bigger, so he can get you in bigger trouble and make you spill the beans about a dealer that's bigger time than you.

    I don't really know, since I've never really been a similiar situation, but I'm gonna guess like everyone else and say he's probably just some old fat dude who likes his bud and you have nothing to worry about. I guess just look out for sketchy moves like they said and I'm sure you'll be cool.

    You're welcome for my completely unhelpful post. :)

    Sounds like the guy is lonely, and buys 20s instead of bigger bags so he can hang around with someone. It's happened to me once or twice, one guy started showing up at my place to cop with a six pack, and food and shit. Eventualy I had to straight up tell him he couldn't hang everytime he came by.

    haha damn, thats alittle pathetic but I know what it's like to be lonely so you can't blame the guy, atleast his intention's were good :)

    Back to the OP:

    Sounds like he's just a normal customer to me, I know kids who sell to older folks, younger all alike. They're all customers, and need someone to go to for that product they need. Hence you.

    Sounds like a smoker to me. If he was a cop, he would have already busted you. Only thing that would lead me to him being a cop is if he all of a sudden asked to purchase a huge amount from you. Thus the reason all these bags is so he thinks you trust him. Then they get you for a larger sum.

    Do you party with him ?


    Narcs want to find coke, excasty, meth, shit like that. A Narc would ask for a narcotics hook up.

    about the physical requirments of cops, well they can be quite chubby. I think he sounds straight if you ask me. Do you SMOKE with him? If so and your seeing him do the drugs then maybe you will start to trust him more.

    If you have to ask the question out loud, or to others...then you shouldn't be selling to him. You did mean $20 sacks as opposed to 20 sacks of weed right? Hope so!

    As for your reasons why he might not be a cop:
    - Offered to get me alcohol
    Offering to get you alcohol is an entirely different thing than actually buying it. I doubt that would hinder his case against you anyway.

    - Talked about hash with me? dumb reason
    Isn’t that what we expect cops to do?

    - Is mad fat to actually be a cop. Don't they have physical requirements??
    I was locked up in a drunk tank once and saw a fat-ass 30 something year old undercover cop bring in a drug dealer kid that he had caught. Cop wore a full ski mask while in the jail area, so that we couldn't see his face. I memorized the back of his calves though...lmao.

    Guy I know was selling to a cop for a while. An ounce at a time…eleven go-rounds. Not sure if he cut him off or ig the cop stopped buying. Regardless, the point was that they waited three months after the last sale to come get him. Kicked his door in and raided his house at 4 am.



    So you are where you are on this one. Let's just take it from here...I've been in this boat many times myself. I was the type that moved a lot, so many times I just disappeared to another state for a while. I know that you're not automatically in the clear just because you quit selling and roll out...but I've done it a few times anyway. I am going to assume that is not an option for you...so let's move on.

    If he is a cop he is waiting until you have sold him x amount to bust you. It depends on the law in your state. You can look that up after your done reading this. Hypothetical example: lets say in Texas it is a felony that carries a max penalty of 2 years for a sale of less than an ounce. Sale of over an ounce to 1/2lb is a max penalty of 5 years. Sale of over a 1/2lb. to 2 lbs. is a max of 12 years.
    The point is, once he has you on a big enough charge, he will arrest you. He is hoping that since you will be looking at a max of say 2 years instead of 6 months...that you might be more likely to set up your dealer(s). That is why they wait to arrest people in these situations.

    So if I were you, I would find out what your state law says, guesstimate your sales up until this point and re-evaluate before you cross the next threshold.

    Other things you should do:

    Find out exactly where he works. Show up there if possible. If he was an undercover cop buying $20 sacks of weed, he wouldn't have a cover job set up.

    Find out where he lives. Is he married? Does he have kids? If you meet his kids you are 100% safe. If you meet his wife, at THEIR house you are 99% safe.

    You could also pay to research him online. As a matter of fact his legal history should be public record. Hell give it a shot the free way.

    Talk to him a lot. Try and look for inconsistencies in his story.

    Don't ever let him introduce a friend of his to you. Even if the dude stays outside in the car, you are screwed.

    You have to trust your instincts on these things. It's better to be paranoid, and not in jail...trust me. Back when I was in the game I probably did 100 different things to try and not get popped. 99 of them were a waste of time...the other one kept me out of jail.

    My guess...probably not a cop, though he does sound like one to me.

    lol, i have an idea for you.
    find some guy that you don't like but smokes bud (and won't snitch), and bring him along and tell ur the buyer that that is ur supplier.
    if the undercover (if that is what he is) is looking for a chance, he will take it (or very soon after) and you should hear about it

    Just chilll, smoke and talk with him for a bit. Any undercover small time enough to go after someone selling such a small amount will have all sort of holes show up whne they start talking.

    It doesn't sound like one, but just to be safe I only sell to people I've known for a while
