    Seriously? Did anyone read the report before they issued a press release? I know it’s better press and warm fuzzies for the “anonymous tipster” angle… but how about bad driving, old fashioned police work and a little bit of luck leads to drug seizure? The LEOs doing their jobs day in and day out have a hard enough time being portrayed factually…just saying.
