Garda drug units set up Snapchat accounts to snare online drug dealers
Gardaí have set up accounts to monitor the dealers.

Gardaí have been aware of sellers on these platforms for several years. However, they are becoming more popular during the pandemic.

Real-time information about the location of the dealer or the customer can be received by both sides.

But in a bid to combat these drug sales, gardaí have created dozens of Snapchat accounts to gather intelligence on the dealers, who they work for and who their suppliers are.

While some of these accounts have been been found out to belong to members of the force, gardaí feel there is a lot of intelligence to be gathered if they can go unnoticed.

The dealers are aware not to trust new accounts asking intrusive question. However, it is hoped that the presence of gardaí on the platform will act as some form of deterrent against the blatant advertising on these platforms.

When I got popped for transport of weed back in 09... my Facebook blew up with random friend requests of all these random hot girls. I didn’t say anything to police and all these fb accounts would talk about “getting some coke or weed”

this is an old trick

You're saying that the police made the fake accounts to try to buy drugs from you?

It's pretty common

I believe it. They want to see if you are still tempted to do what just got you busted so they can get an easy 2nd bust and hit you with a bigger hammer. Im willing to bet it works like 20 to 30 percent of the time.
Also bet after 6 months or so he didn't see near as many requests.
