Nearby, they recovered a sealed bag crammed with 79 strips of the opioid buprenorphine, 0.94 grams of methamphetamine and the USB drive that was found to contain pornography, prosecutors said.
Is $75k the prison value here or something? Seems like an incredibly random value for such a small amount.
Yeah this is the second time I've seen this story and the first time didn't try to include a dollar amount.
Whoever wrote this pulled the number from their ass for clicks.
It’s the NY Post so that checks out honestly.
Well it is Australia, have you seen their drug prices?
I bet they counted the cost of the porn too. Special collectors edition DVD box sets, of course.
Naturally
A crown prosecutor told the court the woman’s role in the plot was to obtain the drugs for Knudson to sell inside the prison, where a single strip of buprenorphine can fetch close to $1,000.
As said in the article, yes. Prison prices.
No no... you've got it all wrong. It's $75,000 total value for the drugs plus the porn.
So it's like $10,000 worth of drugs and $65,000 worth of porn. After all, you can cream a lot of porn into a USB drive these days.
For anyone doubting that the porn is worth that much, well... you'll just have to watch it and decide for yourself.
Damn, I had a lot of s*** to do this week but how can I walk away from this challenge?
I want to know how the porn works. Does the dealer curate for them or do they make requests?
My question is how are they playing it? I don’t imagine they get any kind of computer access that isn’t highly monitored
There are android tablets issued to inmates, I doubt that they're really allowed to use them with external media, though, if they even have non-propriatery ports to begin with.
I'm kind of surprised they didn't just fly in at 400 ft and drop the stuff in a corner of the yard. Use a little tiny drone that doesn't make a lot of noise and just make drops while people are in the yard.
At that point better just have a remote controlled catapult. It’s not like drugs and usb keys are fragile.
This is why my hobbies are being regulated into oblivion.
If you look at this and think "haha yes keep doing it!" go fuck yourself, the idiots who make the rules hear things like that and panic regulate without even looking into things.
Perhaps the problem is the people making senseless regulations then?
Well considering I specifically blamed "the idiots making the rules", yes.
But people need to stop praising shit like this even as a joke. It's literally fanning the flames.
ALL the good "stuff"
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
