HUH?! What's so damn good about it? The guy said in plain English that his friend WAS WORKING with the cops. Depending on the agency involved, and what he got caught with as compred to what he gave them, he might never get charged at all. They can do that. Either that, or they are waiting until they get done with their investigations involving the individuals he gave up, before they charge him. Either way, he will get off light. REAL light. It's the reason people do cooperate. The only way you can get a mandotory minimum reduced IS to cooperate. You can bash the guy all you want, but until you've been busted, you have no idea wether or not you would cooperate yourself. I did a Thread on this exact subject awhile back, and got flamed to high heaven, of course. Point was though, is that the pressure to cooperate is very strong. And desipte wether you think you're the baddest guy on the planet, the percentage of people who HAVE info to give who give it, is 98%. So alot of toughguys are obviously talkin alot of shit. The person who gave me that percentage is a State Narco Officer. He told me the guys they hear have the biggest toughguy reps, are usually the first to roll. He also told me that 99% of the cases he has made has been through guys rolling.
And btw, the 2% who didnt cooperate, were the ones who weren't given the option. In other words, high-end guys, with nothing to give.
