The quiet drug trade
Narcotics investigations often center on a suspicious level of foot traffic in and out of a house or a hotel room. Investigators conduct surveillance of the location, follow dealers and use informants to make controlled and documented drug buys.
But the standard tools used to investigate crack and powder cocaine dealers don't apply to the upstate New York manufacturers and users of the manmade stimulant methamphetamine.
While meth is trafficked by drug rings that sell other kinds of drugs in New York City and other parts of the United States, in upstate New York meth is most often made by small groups of friends and acquaintances for their personal use, authorities say.
