One of the biggest black market items in the US is cigarettes. Buy them where they are taxed much less and sell them in NY where the taxes are sky high. It seems that the suspect was on probation for the same violations and it seemed like the cops knew the guy.

I blame the politicians that pass laws like this. Bloomberg with his big gulp ban comes to mind. If not for these crap laws that infringe on our freedoms there never would have been a confrontation here.

The ironic thing is the people that tend to vote these types of politicians into office are the same ones that tend to be affected most by them.
