“Panhandle Cocaine Case Stands Out” was the headline of the AP story. At first glance the case didn’t stand out at all. It had all the usual dreary trappings of a big cocaine bust. Snitching, spying, hidden cameras (one inside a private home) wiretaps, hidden microphones, secret court sessions, quick plea bargains, a fast grab of suspects’ property — nothing unusual there. Another sleazy victory for drug prohibition.
