Unanswered Questions

For you Agatha Christie and CSI fans, I will answer your questions about where the coke packages came from in the backseat of the police cruiser. It was night and the suspect was driving a stolen car that was speeding. While the police were waiting on the side of the road for the owner to come and identify the car, the suspect was apparently "fishing out" the packages of coke from inside the crotch of his Speedos. There were handcuff marks high on his wrists to indicate that he had done so. The "sloppy" police work was that the rookie cop had failed to search the back of his car after taking the suspect in to be booked. He was so excited about finding the marijuana during a weapons search that he didn't remember. Only when he had gone to Abuelita's on Hwy 177 to have a soda with another cop did he remember. I learned that those seats slide out easily so that the crevices can be searched. One of the cops who testified is a drug specialist. He immigrated from Austria 10 years ago. It was like listening to Arnold take on the world in one of his movies.
