I wonder if the NYPD has one of those "the more you bust, the more likely you are to get a raise and/or a promotion" policies.

NYT posted:

His lawyer, Sam Roberts of the Legal Aid Society, asked Detective David Guevara, an investigator working on the case, whether any officers of the nine-member field team on the case followed Brian L. to see where he bought the drugs. The answer was no.

That was a common theme in the three other trials. In one, the addict, who owned no phone himself, had to use an undercover detective’s cellphone to call his drug dealer. But after the addict was arrested, the undercover officer testified he could not remember whether he ever followed up and called the drug dealer’s number, which was logged in his phone, to try to track the dealer down.

Uh ok genius who do you want to arrest for drug dealing, that big drug dealer with the pitbull and the shotgun or that emaciated homeless guy with seventy five cents and a bag full of hats? You're gonna go far on the force
