what illegal thing did you get away with?

Another one, bit more serious - when I was 18 I used to sell a lot of Drugs.. I lived in Darwin Australia, and would fly to Sydney with about $40k in my socks - meet up with an Army mate who flew there from Brisbane with the same or more in his socks..

We'd by pills for about $7-$12 each and then sell them in Darwin from $35-$50 each - needless to say we made a killing..

I was responsible for getting them to Darwin - I'd be creative, one time they'd be vac packed and put in my pants/arch of my back and I'd wear a velcro belt so I didn't have to loosen it while going through security at the airport.. Once I even bought a nice looking Merc (people we got the pills through had a HUGE smash repair company), and we opened the top of the block, put them in, tap welded it shut and sent the car on a tow truck..

The way I chose to bring them was chosen carefully - I had a mate who worked in IT - and get this, he was responsible for NTPFES (Northern Territory Police Fir and Emergency Services), and he would give me the heads up - for instance we wanted to take a grayhound bus one time, and he told us they were going to do random searched on the QLD/NT border.. Basically, every time my name was mentioned he would tell me..

One day my mum decided to take my sisters to Singapore for a holiday.. Then.. it.. Happens..

My Old man is friends with the commissioner and designed the superintendent house as he's friends with his wife..

They called him into the NTPFES HQ and told him everything - they even had a police raid (VIC TRG) plan already set (which they were going to do that week, but I'd left the country), I had rifles in my couch, which they were aware of, so the plan was to rappel from helicopters into my back yard etc..

He called me right away whilI was away and told me everything - they assumed I was being given information but couldn't put their finger on it..

I got out as soon as I got home.. In the NT warrants last for 12 months - on exactly the last day I got stopped by the drug squad during my lunch break - they came to my house with their sniffer dogs etc.. and searched everything (it was a raid).. My pregnant girlfriend rocked up and started screaming, the works.. At the end of it all, the head of the drug squad walked up and explained the whole warrant lasting for 12 months etc. and that they just had to make sure the rumors were true (that I was really out).. he shook my hand and that was that..
