Ride along with Arkansas State Police troopers patrolling the I-40 ‘drug pipeline’

Interstate 40 is the third longest interstate and is commonly referred to as the “drug pipeline.”

[@Dratchev241]

And if you run from ASP then the legend called the Byrd man will get you.

[@wisdomrules8474]

Byrd is the most famous trooper for his PITs, but all ASP troopers can can perform PITs. They have their own training track.

[@karenbanks7282]

ASP the best law enforcement department in the country 🥰 keep up the great work, we love you.

[@sfcjones2590]

the Money they get from these drug dealers allow the ASP to have dozens of New Chargers in stock...

[@honda443]

They don't make Charger's anymore, so they'll probably buy 5.7 Hemi Durango's instead 🤣😅😆

[@TBagr]

What about all of the innocent citizens who have their cash seized without any crime committed? It is not illegal to transport any amount of cash but the cops steal it anyway.

[@momredandjonny]

The qualifier there is 'innocent.'

[@Zaltic]

They don't take that money you dunce. Once they've been cleared of any crime they return the money

[@turbowarp]

Every road in America is a drug superhighway. Arkansas' stretch of I40 is only a tiny bit of it. I remember having to drive to Louisiana to buy booze. On the way back, there's always a sheriff waiting to pull someone over and bust them for a bottle of whiskey. Same game, alcohol is legal now, though.

[@thadanzwiggler]

Yep - we used to do it in Magnolia when I was in high school / college.

[@thadanzwiggler]

Never commit a misdemeanor when you're committing a felony.

[@velvetjones1856]

And the Hazen Police also patrol I-40 and do a lot of drug work. They have even faster Chargers than ASP.

[@DudleyMeadowsFarm]

Yup, I think they still have black scat packs. Seen a couple of there vids on here.

[@paulspomer16]

They have 1 charger scatpack, that’s it

[@honda443]

They only have the one Scat Pack and it's their police chief's car!!! And from what I've heard, that Scat Pack was seized from a drug dealer (I could be wrong about this part)

[@velvetjones1856]

@@honda443 Chief said it was from a drug seizure.

[@paulspomer16]

Why is it legal for troopers to take cash?!? WTF!!! That’s OUTRAGEOUS! If someone has large amounts of cash only and no drugs they should NOT be allowed to take it

[@texasflashcoveinstaller4317]

[@rob_1]

Because the cartels/black market also pay people to move money and obviously if they are hiding it then its for a reason.

Colorado legalized pot and the state went down the toilet. It attracts the low live that does the illegal drugs. Arkansas has enough problems to deal with.

[@bidencrimefamily630]

As somebody that lives in Utah, I watch ASP videos all the time. So entertaining such well-trained troopers I cant imagine why anybody would mess with these guys or trying to run from them. Well, done ASP and Arkansas.

[@heightsofsagarmatha]

They seize cash meaning 1) they profit from drug dealing 2) if someone has legitimate cash then ASP are highway robbers.

[@jeffsemon1774]

War on drugs??? Declare a ceasefire

[@renegadethedestroyer]

They don't destroy the drugs they put it back out on the streets

[@41dfcpea90]

Keep up the great work ASP and those awesome TVI’s.

[@chriscomer1472]

In 20 minutes of driving yesterday in central Arkansas, I counted 32 cars with tags from Louisiana, Texas and Oklahoma .. You see the car trains coming up from Mexico all the time, especially on the weekend.. One car or minivan or small truck towing a train of 2 or 3 others vehicles ..Most of the time without tags and certainly not properly secured for towing .. And I will almost guarantee at least half those cars have drugs in them ..

[@jaynelson573]

Imagine all the money and drugs. The cops don’t report and keep it for themselves.

[@jeffreydidier5821]

Arkansas needs to get on board and legalize marijuana and concentrate on actual hard, dangerous drugs.

[@James-bo1ox]

It's a revenue generator. They even take people's money even if they find no drugs and without charging anyone with a crime. Then it's up to the person to go to court and try to get there money back. Talk about highway robbery.

[@user-cl9dy6fc6o]

My brother in law was a DOT lieutenant with the Arkansas Highway Police. He was with the Highway Police 34 years. He lived in West Memphis and was in charge of the way stations there. At one time they confiscated $3.75 million. That is the busiest section of road in the entire country where I-55 intersects I-40. He retired about 15 years ago.

[@Togo-420]

The cartels have better employee benefits but their retirement programs are lacking 😅

[@phredmurph5323]

Policing for profit. That's all this is they even said it themselves in the report hard drugs are not the issue here they're more worried about a plant and policing for profit. All the money they find should not go to the department that finds it It should go to non-profits for homeless veterans that have served this country and deserve better than we give them.

[@Sirhc2023]

People gotta challenge the law.

The war on drugs what a joke 😂

[@jfk64kennedy95]

considering how poor Arkansas is and the millions of $'s in tax revenue being generated by legal marijuana and FEW, if any of the the issues that were a concern Pre-legalization, arising...maybe, just maybe....it time Ark. Legalizes and... oh, but wait...there goes 90% of the drug busts, so police budget for enforcement, can be cut....so the cops and 'for profit' prisons don't want that...
