Lying About Probable Cause-- SOP for the DEA

The Drug Enforcement Administration has a long track record of wiping clean its investigative trail so that their cases stand up in court.

Without probable cause for a stop and search, there is no case. So the DEA is "fixing" that by making the probably cause seem random or based on some other fiction.

Between this and the use of professional liars jailhouse informants, we're probably at the point where the standard for conviction on drug or, for that matter, any Federal charges should be "beyond a scintilla of doubt".
