If you're doing some real illegal stuff, you don't want an inspection just because you didn't keep your frier up to spec

Exactly, one crime at a time, baby!

It's something I see a lot on Cops (the TV show). They pull someone over because one of their brake lights is out or they went through a stop sign or something like that, and it turns out they have drugs in the car or a warrant for their arrest or something similar. It seems like some of them would get away with it if they didn't give police any reason to pull them over.

Most criminals aren't very intelligent.

I've never met a prompt and reliable drug dealer.

I have, but it was a rich white kid in the dorm room across from me. But, his frat and a few others were dealing out of the houses.

Well, they're the ones on COPS.
