The local TV station, 13 Action News, reported Thurmond PD was “acting on community complaints that the fast-food joint was a hotbed for drug-dealing activity.”

Great job, Thurmond PD, responding to your community complaints. That is what you are paid to do….that is what you did.

After a months-long undercover operation, and thousands of taxpayer dollars, Officer Nicole Fair …

The Canary Clan is reporting that her monthly salary is $3,425.42. The salary for a Crew Member / Grill Cook at Burger King there is $8.31 an hour, so she was paid $1,329.60 for her months work at Burger King. After the turn back of that $1,329.60 to Thurmond PD, the months long operation cost the Thurmond tax payers the net amount of $2,095.82. That is not the grossly exaggerated “thousands of taxpayer dollars” implied by the author in the Yellow Journalism article.

Civil asset forfeiture pays. Busting low-level drug dealers by the dozen and confiscating their drugs, guns, cars, houses, and money pays. Writing tickets for victimless crime pays. Pulling you over for window tint, seat belts, arbitrary traveling speeds, and expired license plates; these are the things that pay, not solving crimes.

In criminal justice, clearance rates are used as a measure of crimes solved by the police. The clearance rate is calculated by dividing the number of crimes that are “cleared” (a charge being laid) by the total number of crimes recorded.

In the United States, the murder clearance rate in 1965 was more than 90 percent. Since the inception of the war on drugs, the murder clearance rate has plummetted to an average of less than 65 percent per year.

This decline is in spite of there being far fewer murders. It is also in spite of new technological developments to help police solve crimes, like DNA testing, advanced forensic labs, and unethical spying devices like the stingray.

Despite the near complete erosion of the constitutional protections against unlawful search and seizure, the clearance rate for murder continued its free fall. This highlights the fact that no matter how many rights are given up or freedoms diminished, police cannot guarantee your safety.

While police are failing to investigate murders, the rate at which they are ignoring rape is nothing short of criminal.

According to the Department of Justice, there are currently over 400,000 untested rape kits collecting dust in police evidence rooms nationwide, and many other estimates suggest that this number could be as high as one million.

As a result of this horrific negligence, roughly 3% of rape cases in America are actually solved. This is in spite of the fact that many rape kits have a high chance of leading to an arrest since most rapists are career criminals who have their DNA on file.

“While employed, the police officer made several successful purchases of controlled dangerous substances from two employees.”

None of that was reported in the story from the Frederick News Post which was linked to in this story.

My guess is that you are just making shit up again.

Take your Canary Clan speech and shove it.

Great job, Thurmond PD, responding to your community complaints.

Judging by the negative posts in the comments section, the good people of Thurmont strongly disagree.

Civil asset forfeiture pays.

This excerpt from your extensive copy and past file does not fit here….learn to stay on topic.

The two individuals were drug dealers selling illegal drugs. It is not known to whom they were selling the illegal drugs, what illegal drugs they were selling or if any were sold to children.

The “two who had the entrepreneurial spirit to supplement their minimum wage jobs by selling a highly beneficial and nearly miraculous plant” did the crime, they will now pay for that after their trial or plea bargain.

Great job, Thurmond PD, responding to your community complaints.

The comments at the website belie that idiotic statement.

That the false narrative created by the Yellow Journalism author to solicit support for his agenda driven article. The correct topic you were responding to in Post #2, shithead, was: “After a months-long undercover operation, and thousands of taxpayer dollars, Officer Nicole Fair …”

No Sir, the Canary Clan has just documented proof on this thread that it is eminently qualified to present the truth to dispel the half-truths and lies published by the biased authors in the Yellow Journalism articles you so ignorantly and constantly post.

The only thing you are eminently qualified to do after an “ass kicking with truth” is to kneel in defeat and grovel with such a grossly vulgar statement.

Instead Of Solving Rapes And Murders, Cops Spent Months Undercover In Burger King For $75 Pot Bust

Huh?

What the Hell is the author of this Yellow Journalism article talking about?

This is just some more bullshit false narrative in yet another Yellow Journalism article.

The last crime report published for Thurmont shows zero murders and one “solved” rape case.

Deckard, there are more important things you can do in life that continue your anarchist cop-hating crusade….find them.

I now bid you a fond adieu …

Undercover operation, in which officer worked at Burger King, netted 5 grams of marijuana, 2 pills

By Jeremy Arias jarias@newspost.com

A two-month undercover operation involving a Thurmont police officer posing as a Burger King employee netted 5 grams of marijuana and two morphine pills, according to police.

The operation began in August as Officer Nicole Fair was still adjusting to the department, having started July 1. Fair’s tenure coincided with complaints about drugs being sold out of the Burger King on North Church Street. Her supervisors quickly realized the opportunity to run an undercover operation, Chief Greg Eyler said.

“It is less common, because we live in a small, tight-knit community where people know one another. In this case, we had a new officer who wasn’t well-known in Thurmont at the time,” Eyler explained. “So we thought that we would put her in there in a covert operation.”

Submitting a résumé that included some of her work history but excluded her law enforcement career, Fair was hired by the fast-food restaurant in early August and set out to get to the bottom of the rumors.

By Sept. 22, indictments were unsealed against two Burger King employees, 23-year-old Tommy Lee Miller and 28-year-old Jonathan Brook Moser, in Frederick County Circuit Court on the strength of Fair’s undercover work, which resulted in at least two drug purchases by the new officer.

“I was hired to help and protect the community of Thurmont, and that was what I was doing. You hear about all the drug problems we’re having here and elsewhere and, whether it’s marijuana or something else, we’re really feeling the effects of it,” Fair said of her role in the arrests. “To be able to do something to directly address that, especially being a new officer, was extremely rewarding.”

Police seized 5 grams of marijuana and two morphine pills during the operation, Eyler wrote in an email response to The Frederick News-Post’s questions Tuesday.

Yep.

The two individuals were drug dealers selling illegal drugs. It is not known to whom they were selling the illegal drugs, what illegal drugs they were selling or if any were sold to children.

There were complaints that drugs were being sold out of the Burger King. They sold Maryland Schedule I marijuana and Schedule II morphine to an undercover cop, a felony under Maryland state law.

Investigate actual crimes

Distributing marijuana and morphine is a very real crime and the two mopes can do very real time.
