The officers who also work undercover and are not ready for their identity to be revealed to drug dealers, thereby blowing their cover, wear them when they go on raids. The officers who do not wear them on raids typically do not work undercover. But on almost every raid, you will nornally see some officers wearing them, it has nothing to do with intimidation or trying to look cool, it is a safety precaution so that the next time the undercover officer is trying to buy dope from a drug dealer someone doesn't say, "Hey, I know you! You da PoPo. Yeah I seen you at (insert drug dealer's name) house when y'all busted him" and put the officer in a potentially life-threatening situation. The reason that drug search warrants are usually served at night is because: (A) It is safer, yeah you can see better in daylight, but can be seen better also. The element of surprise is the best weapon, and minimizes the risk of an officer or occupant getting hurt. (B) That's when the drugs, drug proceeds, and drug dealers are most likely there. Statistics will prove both points are true. And finally to "wykila": I don't like da way you be sellin dope so if ya don't want da popo in yo house den don't be havin no dope dere i'm sorry yo moma got scared but if yo moma put da dope dealers out her house she wouldn't get scared by da bad ol popo.

They are specially trained to search for drug related item that could make illegal drugs. They aren't going to arrest you because you own a bottle of Nyquil. But if you have a case of ephedrine, and a couple of gallons of pool cleaner, but no swimming pool, that most likely will cause a red flag to search more. Or, sometimes, a child will find a cigar box under a bed full of pot and cocaine, and weapons, then show a neighbor who calls 911 because they know the kids are in danger. And, even though everyone knows this goes on day and night, most of the drug dealers feel safer at night because they don't understand that this is a 24 hour, round the clock, job these officers have to do. I personally feel a lot safer when they go at night because most of the people that go to the site to buy the drugs are a friend of a friend of a friend and the dealer really doesn't know who it is. They take a chance and, once in a while, the officer's get lucky and make a bust. There is always two sides to every story. But if you are the one who has the illegal drugs in you're home, there is only one side to that. It's your home. You are in control of it. If someone comes in and wants to hide something in your house. Say NO. A lot of people don’t understand that when these officers go in, they don’t always just look for anything that is a drug.

In a situation like this, you want a minimum of conflict. It’s bad enough you are legally breaking into somebody’s home, it’s even worse if the police are afraid or the inhabitants tempted to put up a fight.

AND "Why not serve search warrants in the daytime when you can see better." I would imagine that's when you are more likely to find what you seek. Also with the right equipment, you can see just fine and those whom you seek can not. That makes them less likely to resist and get hurt. We all know I would prefer to end--or at least greatly reduce--the drug trade by taking away the profit incentive but until our legislators decide to do that (if ever), I want our law enforcement people to do their jobs in the safest and most effective manner.

Evidence of drugs can be anything the police decide it is particularly when they can't find anything obvious to justify going in after dark, wearing masks carrying guns. Why not serve search warrants in the daytime when you can see better. Oh that's right, you get to "intimidate" people more. More chance of someone being afraid and reacting in a way that can justify being shot. Take you masks off and man up, if you can't show your face and have your accuser know who you are then stay home and go back to "work" later anonymously. Masks and guns scare people and that's the purpose. When is Northescambia.com going to start reporting all local news again? It seems that the sheriff is using the staff of Northescambia.com to promote his agenda. There is a lot more going on of interest in our area than crime but any more that's all you guys seem to focus on, did someone want to be in law enforcement and didn't get the chance? and this is it? The sheriff seems to have read you correctly and is manipulating things very well. You have to be that way if you are a politician.
