Exactly.
I acknowledge there are "drugs everywhere" but the police aren't going to target everywhere, they're going to target the most well known drug den in town.
Personally, I hope it closes (but I'm doubtful it will). It brings a load of sketch to that neighborhood every Sunday. |

a bad example at best.
police ALWAYS exaggerate to the media the street value of drugs taken in a seizure or raid.
secondly, you can be sure that not everyone was holding an average of 'x' amount of drugs.
BFU |
1. Even if they did exagerate the value and they said $10/pill, thats still 3000 pills, and theres only 150 people in the building. Needless to say, given the amount of people in there, they found a lot of drugs.
2. I didnt say everyone actually had $200 worth of drugs, that is just the average, its just easier to look at it that way to actually see how drug infested CZ is. For the Guv to be equally as drug infested it would have to have approximately 3000 x 200 = 600,000 worth of drugs, which is definitely not the case. Obviously some people have very large amounts and others have none.
and also, I do hope CZ stays open and that the raids clean up the place. I am not against CZ, but I definitely think the raids were justified |

There are drugs everywhere |
the police are targetting the yonge-dundas area street level. using undercover cops to buy drugs in arcades and street corners. they are trying! |

| I heard from a few people that the cops went into Basement right after CZ. Not sure if they arrested anyone. |

The police and media seem to think it costs about $25/pill based on previous busts and totals they have bragged about. |

I'm sure they also include the money they confiscate from everyone...
Or do they just steal it???? |

| one thing im still unclear about... with the large raid last week, can they go into someone wallet and 'confiscate' the money in there because 'it might be used to purchase drugs' as opposed to say being used for water juice pop etc or alcohol upstairs? |

No, they just took the cash that the 'dealers' (people with large quantities) had on them and probably assumed that it was all the proceeds frmo selling drugs....
They didnt just steal every single persons cash in CZ assuming it was all going to be used to buy drugs, that would be obsurd! |

and assuming that 100% of the people who pass through those doors are there to stay high, get high or purchase drugs and make an exit isn't......? |

I agree usually the police or media will say at least $20 per pill. A higher monetary figure grabs more attention to the situation. |
