Cops are profiling cars full of people in pajamas

[Liberal_in_LA]

"Heroin rush hour" has some telltale signs in northern Kentucky, like a car filled with people in their pajamas venturing to Cincinnati around 9 or 10 a.m.

That's what police in Fort Thomas say.

The city's police department recently launched a three-officer Heroin Interdiction Team to get heroin off the roadways, The Kentucky Enquirer reported (http://cin.ci/1UgXQJO).

Sgt. Chris Goshorn said officers have noticed addicts tend to wake up and drive north to nearby Cincinnati for their next fix around 9 or 10 a.m.

With many addicts pooling their gas money together for the trip north, a car full of people in their pajamas can tip investigators to check for an intoxicated driver at the wheel, Officer Derek Faught said.

Of course, a pajama-wearing driver isn't a reason to pull a vehicle over. In order for officers to make a stop, Faught said police need a reason beyond heroin suspicion, such as traffic infractions or not wearing a seat lbelt

1. Pictures are needed

to see is to believe. I'll believe one person in PJs but not 4 or 5.

2. Oh for fuck's sake. That's about the dumbest explanation I've ever heard- not just

for the traffic stop. That's the dumbest theory on drugs I've ever heard.
