Think of this guy as a much easier target then the actual drug dealers.
Think of all the money vacuumed up by the "investigation" and the money from the sale of his property which because of drug laws will go the very police dept that arrested him.
Think of the prosecutor and police chief that boast about the "major drug dealer" they put behind bars. Think about how they were not going to do that much "investigation" and come away with nothing.
Think about how Tebeau's belief that some drugs like weed were fine rankled authoritarian mind sets. And it didnt' matter if he thought some drugs like meth were still bad or if he even used drugs himself. He was guilty by association.
It makes a very sick kind of sense.
