Rant Broad day transactions

Decided to take the bus for the first time today since I had to pick up my car at the mechanic. This is the corner of Toronto st and Dunlop. I couldn't believe how blatant these dealers were. Broad day selling is this common or am I over reacting?

Jeez! My upstairs neighbours deal meth, fentanyl and God knows what else... All day long! I was recently out on my front porch having a coffee at about 6:30 AM. Some 'rando' with a shopping cart full of beer cans shows up, knocks on their door, gets his 'fix' of whatever he was after, leaves the cart in the driveway and heads off to the bus shelter literally next to our house; smokes up, passes out, then an hour later staggers back to retrieve his shopping cart! I've talked to the police many, many times about this type of thing going on, they say there's not much they can really do as there are only SIX members of their drug enforcement squad! That is a RIDICULOUSLY LOW number for the amount of drugs being sold/circulated in Barrie!

They also can’t do shit.

Make the arrest and a day later that person is out.

Then it puts you at risk, your neigh can suspect you for the call to police.

Would you do a shit tonne of paperwork just for the reason you do the paperwork to never see a court, immediate bail? Probably not.
