You're trying to make it sound like it all happened in 15 minutes, but I'm just not buying it. They still didn't take a look at the cars in front of the house to see who was there? yeh, I"m feeling better everyday about my best friend living in that area.

I'm not "trying" to make it sound like anything. I am just repeating what I heard. No one who knows anything about getting a warrant thinks it takes 15 min to get one. This probably happened around 2 ish so it would of likely been sometime in the late afternoon/evening that the deal went down. As to they should of left someone there to watch. Who? Do you know who was available? I assume that since it was a CI buy they didn't have a full team just sitting there and most likely was just 2 narc officers. Let's say they went to go do the paperwork, get a warrant, and get together an entry team, because that certainly could be the case, who was supposed to be watching? What should they of assumed about the cars on the street? Do they run every car and if they can't figure out where one belongs call off the warrant? How much time is to be spent on each warrant. How many man hours because some of these possibilities sure seem like it would end up costing more which means less time and money to be used elsewhere.
