So which parts of the article do you believe? None of them? All of them? Only the parts that fit your belief system?
Judging by the comments in this thread, people believe that:
1) The guy in question is obviously not suspicious at all.
2) The guy in question is telling us everything in a completely balanced and impartial way.
3) The police are obviously trying to track him just because they felt like it, and have no reason at all.
My point was that, first of all, they might, in fact, have reason to be suspicious of him. Or, they might NOT be suspicious of him: they might be trying to figure out where his cousin is, and decided this was the right way to do it. We don't know, because we don't have a comment from the police. Second, I don't really believe much of what anyone in the article said. I find it likely that he has a cousin who was believed to be a drug dealer. I find it likely that there was a tracking device on his car. I find it likely that the police showed up while he was being interviewed. Beyond that? We, the readers, don't really have anything convincing in any direction. We have no evidence that he's telling the truth, we have no evidence that the police didn't have a warrant or cause to put a tracker on his car, we don't even really have any evidence that the police DID put a tracker on his car.
So, yes. I believe the quote from him that his brother was probably involved in drug dealing just as much as I believe the rest of the article. Which is to say, I take it as a possibility, but in no way proven to be true.
