  1. What is this? Every time an officer pulls over a car on 41, they find a meth head and a packet of meth? Is this the face of death or what? Good work officers, keep it up. The judge’ll put the poor lady into a few weeks of rehab and she’ll walk, but that doesn’t detract for the good work you folks are doing.
