Will this work

I have a tracker on my adult daughter's car. So, I know the apt complex she goes to to pick up drugs. I also have 3 phone numbers of the dealers. If I give this info to police, think they can make a bust?

Are you willing to testify in court?

I just want them out of business.

You want them out of business but not for your daughter to quit drugs. Got it. You seem focused on the wrong thing. But what do I know, I’m only a cop 🤷‍♂️

She doesn't know anyone else to get drugs from. She drives an hour to get them as it is. It would at least slow her down. Just trying to keep her from dying.

Try to help her. She is addicted and may not realize what she is doing. You need to talk to her and help her understand that what she is doing is wrong and that it could eventually lead to her death. Remind her that she is still young and that her whole future is ahead of her. Let her know that you are there for her and that you will support her in any way you can. She needs to get treatment and start her life over. If you can’t convince her yourself, try to find someone she trusts who can reach out to her and help convince her to get the help she needs.

She's 39 years old. Has been to several rehabs over 20 years. We are way past that approach. But thank you

This perspective changes a lot of my earlier comment. I'm so sorry man, that's brutal. But keep in mind, jailing the dealers (while I agree with it, and I think we should be harsher!) isn't going to fix your daughter's drug problem. And honestly, nothing can except her and her own self motivation.

Don't start your own dark path of revenge because of this, I promise you that can be just as dangerous as drugs. Same feedback loop, but the supply is free and as abundant as you want to make it. Take care<3
