bring it in the evidence room at the station for further evalution at court, and most of the time they smoke the pot they get. true.

After carefully being inventoried and cataloged the local narcotics squad takes them to the incinerator at the State Health Department. They do it with no notice, and they usually have a couple of uniformed officers as escorts so the no one can “hijack” the shipment.

They keep them for evidence for the court case after that they can use the drugs in sting operations when under cover cops sell drugs

They burn them.

(and then stand downwind).

Sometimes corrupt cops will have a little biz on the side selling off the stuff that they take. They can bust someone with half a pound of meth, and only turn in 1/4 pound, and then sell the rest.

Of course if they get caught, they end up sitting in jail with the guy they arrested. I can gaurantee that guy will have a few things to say to him when he gets there.

ultimately they incinerate them. usually 50% at one time and the rest go in joint size little fires.

There was a drug dealer in Sitka, Ak that was caught with 2 lbs of cocain at the airport. He was released the next day due to “Lack of evidence” and given a plane ticket to LA. You do the math. On paper the evidence is kept in storage until the sentence is served, then incinerated. Yeah…right.

they keep it until trial as evidience.
Then after that they do keep some but it isn’t for themselves it is to train their dogs.
The rest gets distroyed.
Dope money on the other hand does stay in the force to buy new vehicles and safety supplies…ect…

They go back into circulation. Drugs are money, do you think cops would just throw away money?

At the end of a trial for possession of drugs, the court will make an order for the confiscation and destruction of the drugs. Now, of course, a lot of cases concerning cannabis don’t get to court, so it is an internal matter for the police. One can only wonder!

Interestingly enough, there is a major crisis at Miami Airport, where they have confiscated many tons of bottles containing perfume and alcohol from passengers of late and cannot dispose of them. Confiscation has its drawbacks….

Conduct drug tests … as in [deep inhale ... hold it ... hold it more] “YES the drugs WORK!!!”
