Ex-drug thug plans video on how to hide drugs Forbes"

A one-time Texas drug agent described by his former boss as perhaps the best narcotics officer in the country plans to market a how-to video on concealing drugs and fooling police.Barry Cooper, who has worked for small police departments in East Texas, plans to launch a Web site next week where he will sell his video, 'Never Get Busted Again,' the Tyler Morning Telegraph reported in its online edition Thursday. A promotional video says Cooper will show viewers how to 'conceal their stash,' 'avoid narcotics profiling' and 'fool canines every time.' Cooper, who said he favors the legalization of marijuana, made the video in part because he believes the nation's fight against drugs is a waste of resources. Busting marijuana users fills up prisons with nonviolent offenders, he said. 'My main motivation in all of this is to teach Americans their civil liberties and what drives me in this is injustice and unfairness in our system,' Cooper told the newspaper."
