Atlantic City Will Not Store Your Heroin

Atlantic City law enforcement is still looking for the person who killed four prostitutes 18 months ago. They’re turning to the drug dealers and prostitutes themselves for clues (obviously), and are totally not going to arrest anyone.

Well, as long as you don’t do this:

Atlantic County Prosecutor Ted Housel says the deaths are sufficiently similar to make it appear that they are the work of a serial killer. Housel is asking other prostitutes and drug users to tell police what they know about the case, with the promise they won’t be arrested.

“Short of putting a bag of heroin on the table and asking us to hold it while you talk to us, I can promise that you won’t be pursued for anything like that,” he said, referring to prostitutes or drug dealers who come forward. “Nobody is going to be scrutinized because of lifestyle choices in an investigation like this.”

Good advice for all situations, really: If you go to talk to a law enforcement officer, keep your heroin at home. Or at least in your pockets.
