Damn if it wasn't several days ago I'd say mod parent up.
The whole part about publicly/semi-publicly (might as well be the same thing in many situations, and oh look there was Krebs himself sitting in the balcony) soliciting blackmail funds really is stupid when you put it plainly.
I was more floored by the fact that Krebs was allowed to tamper with the heroin that was delivered and take those pictures. I can't imagine a single sheriff's department anywhere in America that would find that Kosher. Funny, Krebs' article didn't mention charges of Tampering with evidence. Or, if real drugs were spilled by Krebs while waiting for the Sheriff to arrive, funny no mention of reprimands for Pollution.
If the heroin wasn't even real, Krebs wouldn't have any reason to include that detail in his story. Which, also coincidentally, is tidied up by the Sheriff's missing Herion Durg Testre Kit.
"Hi I'm the Sheriff. What's that? Got Heroin? Hold on! I'll zoom right on out there and NOT BRING MY HERION DURG TESTRE KIT."
"Oh LET ME CHECK MY COLLECTION OF DRUG TESTING KITS. ... HMMMMM ... I DID NOT BRING HERION TEST. Hmm.. what did I come out here for, again? Oh, yeah. THE HEROIN YOU WARNED US MIGHT BE COMING LIKE TWO WEEKS AGO. THAT'S COOL I'LL JUST TAKE THIS WHITE POWDER BACK WITH ME. BYE BYE!"
Lolz. I wonder how much of the entire story is true, at this point...
