(Maple Ridge News) - It was a trickle of tips that piqued the interest of police. The first, received anonymously on 20 April 2004, revealed a Maple Ridge sex shop was selling a lot more than "high-class" porn, flavoured rolling paper and bongs.
The tipster revealed a half kilogram of marijuana was hidden in a fridge at the back of Guilty Pleasures, a store that boasts the "finest in adult entertainment" on 207th Street.
It was information enough to begin an investigation, and so launched a three-month sting that lured the store's owner, William Perry, into selling police officers several grams of potent, but illegal Cannabis sativa – pot.
They detailed all the contents of the shelves in a report to their supervisor: drug pipes and "bongs," big and small; "The Volcano," a special marijuana smoking device; videos and books on how to grow marijuana; nutrients to reap a healthy pot crop; and a petition urging marijuana legalization.
Before the trio left, Perry told them he hated the police and the government. Police actually want crime, he said. More...
"Crime keeps the police employed."
