War On Drugs Department

Email From Barry Cooper

This seems to have gone out to Barry's Buds subscribers:

I am sooooo sorry about the return address on your order saying "NEVER GET BUSTED." My dvd is manufactured and mailed by a fulfillment company in Illinois. I am in Texas. They made the mistake and I quickly corrected the problem. Future orders will say "Barry and Candi Promotions."

To our surprise, mainstream America is ordering the dvd more than the counter culture so maybe one day NEVERGETBUSTED will seem normal to everybody.

I do care about your privacy and am very sorry this happened. Please forgive me, I fixed the problem.

The Most Trusted Name in Anti-Prohibition

That was my theory. Loretta Nall and others have been making a big deal about the fact that the return address on the package is "NeverGetBusted.Com", but I just couldn't get worked up about it. Maybe I'm naive, but I'm pretty sure they can't bust you for having a DVD that instructs you how to commit crimes.

On the other hand, Barry is hardly "The Most Trusted Name in Anti-Prohibition."

2 Comments

Originally, I was inclined not to comment further on Barry Cooper's "Never Get Busted" video without seeing the video first. .

However, after having read the following two blogs about Mr. Cooper's video, I did not wish to wait to see the video before addressing the following two issues here, particularly after having contacted and heard back from Mr. Cooper (as reprinted below) on these two issues:

- FlexYourRights reviewed the video, and shares my deep concern -- dissent, actually -- about Mr. Cooper's recommending rampant waiver of people's right to refuse a police "consent" search. Mr. Cooper's purported interest is in showing people how to conceal drug crimes, whereas my interest is in helping people know and exercise their Constitutional rights, whether or not they have anything to hide.

A person may be risking more than s/he realizes when consenting to a police search. I believe it is all too common for people in a car to throw their drugs and weapons (if they have any) into another passenger's or driver's area of the car when a traffic stop takes place. No matter how innocent the car's driver may be, consenting to a search risks the police finding contraband that someone else secretly left there...

Jon Katz has a personal issue with me for reasons that are not worth posting. My conversations with him showing his unfair comments and my extended hand of friendship can be read on the flexyourrights web site. Jon still has not viewed my DVD and refused to take delivery of a DVD I offered to send. He posted this on the flexyourrights site also.
Be leery of a person who is willing to comment on something they refuse to even watch!
My information is good and it works. You will love my DVD!!! Keep your eye on my site www.nevergetbusted.com and watch for the ABC 20/20 story about my DVD to air soon!

Regards,

Barry N. Cooper
