No, not that rush. The rush of being a drug-arrest stud, , Andrew Hawkes can make you the envy of your department, hauling in the “Mother Load!”*

Oh, baby, baby. Just reading this stuff gets the juices flowing, Andy. Tell me more, blue brother, tell me more.
![]() | Tip #3: “If you really want to be successful at highway drug interdiction then turn OFF your radar. DRUG HAULERS DON’T SPEED!” |
Many rookie police officers often ask me:
Q: “Should I really turn off my radar?”
A: “Yes! By looking down at your radar you are missing
indicators that are passing you by on the highway.”
Oh no, this guy knows all the tricks. He can turn the lamest brown-bagger into Super Drug Interdiction Cop. But what’s in it for me?
So what’s in it for me?
Make huge drug busts like clockwork
Stop wasting time on small time offenders
Get recognized by your peers
Do your part to protect our children
Make a REAL impact in the war on drugs
Earn the reputation as a top interdiction officer
Get promoted up the ranks fast
Help your department get media exposure
Seize cash and vehicles
Become a hard-core interdiction officer
Feel the rush of finding the Mother Load!
Of course, another easy way to get media exposure is to shoot some mutt on the ground in the back when the cameras are on me. Oh, you meant good exposure. Never mind.
Just in case you thought only lawyers had to put up with the barrage of marketers trying to make a quick buck off your backs, I thought you should know that cops are now open game. So if you’ve got anything you think you can sell to a cop who wants a quick promotion, a reputation as a top interdiction officer or just wants to feel the rush, the time looks ripe to move forward.
The good news is that drug-arrest studs won’t be wasting their time on “small time offenders,” which I believe is code for fellow cops.
* My wonderful editor, Marilou, can’t stand that I’m repeating Andrew Hawkes’ mistaken spelling of “mother lode” as “load”, and so she’s forcing me to write something so no one thinks she failed to correct it. Don’t blame me. It’s Hawkes’ spelling.

I wonder how many of the ‘indicators’ are perfectly legal. I don’t know about the rest of you, but if I found myself transporting a ‘mother lode’ of contraband any distance at all, I wouldn’t break ANY traffic laws. I would use my signals, I wouldn’t speed, under-speed, etc.
Slightly offtopic, but Judge Wiley decided to give Pat Pogan no punishment whatsoever for his felony conviction.
I can’t believe someone stole my idea.
