No to mention Ozark which is devoted entirely to money laundering.

And yet it gets more wrong about money laundering than Breaking Bad got wrong about meth manufacture.

Not to hijack this too much (maybe this deserves a Cafe Society thread) but I wonder if they get those things wrong on purpose because they don’t want to accurately show people how to commit crimes like money laundering and meth production.

Then again, one of the industrial hygienists that I used to work with would teach classes on meth production specifically to show law enforcement what to look for, and also to warn IH folks and others who deal with hazardous cleanups exactly what to watch out for if you are tasked with cleaning up a meth lab. Which if you can imagine is really dangerous. So it’s not like this stuff is extremely secret. He even told me I could sit in on a class if I wanted to. (I declined though; I’ve never been a big fan of chemistry.)

That’s what [this Federal police officer](https://wtop.com/prince-georges-county/2016/01/nist-police-officer-who-cooked-meth-in-workplace-sentenced/) said he was doing, too.

The judge didn’t buy it.

I am a bit surprised so many people are happily engaging, and largely uncritically, in this racist dog-whistle thread:

> [@What legal ramifications, if any, could come from this?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-legal-ramifications-if-any-could-come-from-this/976245):
>
> Joe lives in a middle class neighborhood in a suburb of a major large city. He hates all his neighbors. They’re stuck up, nosey, rude, biggoted jerks. And have been during the years he’s lived there. Recently Joe won the lottery. 300 million after taxes. Of course he quits his job and buys a nicer house in a nicer place with a better climate. His current house is worth about 200K. But he doesn’t put it on the market. Instead, he goes into the city and finds the worst family possible. A tribe …

Okay, maybe not surprised, just extremely disappointed. I mean, @Johnny_Bravo seems halfway to getting it, but not quite grasping that he’s enabling a racist OP by entertaining the discussion. That is, it’s not just an OP about racists, it’s an OP by a racist looking to stir the pot.

Right. I’ve lost track of the RPOS on the board. Apologies.

There’s a reason I haven’t engaged with him directly.

Apparently we Indians are all scammers or beneath him for some other reasons.

That this piece of shit has a gun and a badge is an indictment of this country.

I’m a bit miffed that he didn’t pull a warning for his [pathetic little turd](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/driving-in-the-left-lane/976644/26) in the ‘driving in the left lane’ thread.

He knows the rules. He knew what he was doing.

Granted it was the pit, but this is the same guy that gave us this gem “[The slunt at the register](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/fuck-you-and-your-card-lame/334910/44)…” (a term he later defined as “slut+cunt+bitch”).

how casually he says it that bothered me–like he didn’t even realize what it means if you “don’t like to talk to [insert ethnicity or nationality here].”

I wish @puzzlegal would have called it racist, not offensive.

Yeah, it’s fucking disgusting. I try to see his point of view, but that’s a bridge too far.
