Bedford police seize drugs that look like kids' vitamins [TX]

GT's note: I'm afraid some politician is going to start saying ecstasy pills resemble children's vitamins, and are thus marketed to/are a hazard to them, and therefore penalties should be harsher. This isn't much different than the "candy flavored meth" scare. --------- Bedford police seize drugs that look like kids' vitamins Wed, Mar. 11, 2009 - Star Telegram.com
BEDFORD -- A traffic stop has led authorities to seize a handful of ecstasy tablets, some imprinted with a Transformer logo and a few others made to resemble the head of cartoon character Bart Simpson, police said Wednesday.
Some tablets even had the logo of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on them, making them all look like children’s chewable vitamins or candies, police said.
About 15 blue, green and yellow tablets were seized from a car during a traffic stop last week, police said Wednesday.
The seizure raised concerns by police that a new wave of ecstasy tablets were in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
According to DEA reports released in December, ecstasy tablets similar to the ones seized by Bedford police have been confiscated throughout the country. Such seizures have been made in Tulsa, Okla., and Portland, Ore., the DEA report states.
Some tablets were mixed with other illegal chemicals while a few had methamphetamine mixed in with the ecstasy, according to the DEA.
“I don’t recall seeing this type in a long time,” Bedford police Lt. Kirk Roberts said Wednesday.
A 22-year-old Bedford man, Tommy McGrue, was arrested on suspicion of possession of a controlled substance/ecstasy. He also was arrested on a warrant from the Tarrant County Sheriff’s Department.
“A bag was found under the seat in the car and that’s where the pills were found,” Roberts said.
A field test on the pills indicated that some contained ecstasy, Roberts said. The others contained other illegal drugs, authorities said.
Police stopped a car about 3:40 p.m. on March 4 in the 2600 block of Forest Ridge Drive on a traffic violation. A 20-year-old driver, Justin Avery, 20, of Fort Worth, was arrested on traffic warrants.
His passenger, McGrue, was arrested on the warrant and after the pills were found, police said.

Whoever took the photo couldn't even arrange the transformer head the proper way. It's upside down.

In addition to my previous comment about field tests and the reliability thereof, I'd also like to add that this is strongly reminiscent of the 'OMFG, LSD on kids stickers' scare in the late 70's/early 80's. Hooray for moral panic!

I'm sick of these people calling this shit ecstasy when it's not.
"We'll be back to tell you how to drug test your children for free."
Holy fuck. LET'S DRUG TEST OUR CHILDREN! MAKE SURE THEY DIDN'T EAT ANY CANDY THAT COULD HAVE REALLY BEEN ECSTACY!

I like how idiots still think there are shady dealers on every corner trying to entice kids to get hooked on their products so they make money..."hey kid, do you want some ecstasy,uh, candy? here swallow this". Maybe people are pressing their pills because the market is unregulated and they need to leave their mark on their products?

Guess I'll start carrying E-pills around in a flintstone's vitamin bottle then.
-------------------- Dr says to stop trying to treat the side-effects of big government and focus on the core issues. End the Federal Reserve/audit the gold reserves at Fort Knox, abolish the IRS, end all wars and occupancies, stop the building of an empire that will inevitably fail, and cut all unconstitutional federal programs. Put the power back in the peoples' hands by ending this nanny-state.
