Dangers of Drug Dealing

Finally, a case where the Constitutional sob sisters were unsuccessful in coddling a criminal. It is the case of the People v. Ricky Rodriguez, 2007 NY Slip Op 50472(U), 2007 N.Y. Misc. LEXIS 863 (Sup. Ct., Richmond Co., 2007).

Some robbers invaded Ricky Rodriguez's home on Staten Island and shot him. Rodriguez, whom police feared was at death's door, was rushed to the hospital. Other NYPD officers learned that the perpetuators had carried a dark colored box from the house. The "box" turned out to be a metal safe, which the police opened and found to contain cash, cannibis and cocaine.

The evidence in the safe was the basis for drug-related charges against Rodriguez. And Rodriguez's attempt to suppress this evidence was rejected by Justice Leonard P. Rienzi. So not only can you no longer trust the people to whom you sell illegal drugs, you can't call the police when your customers turn on you and invade your home and shoot you and take away your illegal drugs.

Drug dealing is getting to be a very tough business!
