This sort of logic is used for lots of things in this society. I'm making your life a living hell because I care about you, but at the same time I think you need to go to prison so someone can tear up your anus with a 12".
Our society is largely built on sadism, been that way ever since the puritans planted their feet on this soil, you must be cleansed of your sins and that means you have to suffer.
If cops didn't have the war on drugs the prisons would be half empty, billions they seize wouldn't be in their pockets and they wouldn't be able to trample on your right to privacy so freely, because we're all druggies and we all need to let the cops dig through our shit to keep society safe.
This guy basically screwed up and that's how he was caught. His lab should have been in some backwoods place no one visits, he should have never taken shipment of anything to his lab and should never ship in the same town as his lab. He should be in the habit of changing locations constantly, working for one year, take off a year to restock big time and then relocate and sell off tens of thousands of vials and do this over and over again. You can't let a pattern develop, you constantly have to be on the move and you don't buy fancy stuff cars, motorcycle, homes and most certainly never have firearms on you when you're source, that's automatically big time felony with lots of time.
There's a science to total privacy, it takes a lot of work and discipline to stay off the radar.
