DVD piracy crackdown in St. Croix

Don't mess with the FEDS.

Great Photo!

I busted a gut on that one.

It's about time.

I once asked a station owner here on STX if he was aware that it was an fbi offense ( it says it on the rentals) and he said YES, PLEASE TAKE ALL OF THEM WITH YOU! He said that the guys selling them had threatened him, and if did not cooperate with them, they would hurt his kids.

That was just one station. The other station I questioned said they had every right to make an extra buck. aarrgghh!

I actually called 911 once, asked if it was illegal to sell ( I asked right in front of the bootleggers!) and they said no, so they sent someone out, so they say. I told the dudes that they were "right" and that it was not illegal to sell, as I was hoping the police would come and they may not have expected it. Well, I came out of Kmart, and they were gone. I don't know if the 911 operator sent anyone, they tend to decide which issues are worth dispatching an officer to, that's just the way it is done out here in Frederiksted!

These guys were so stupid and out of control. It's one thing to be discreet but to sell movies RIGHT IN FRONT OF BLOCKBUSTER...YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME. If I owned the Blockbuster I would've come out with a shotgun and pointed it right at the dudes saying next time I pull the trigger. Ridiculous. These guys were selling movies for less than B'buster was renting them for sometimes. A great way to lose our Blockbuster.

Great job, although next time I'd like to see a photo with cuffs being used.

to bad it wasn't a pile of guns or crack.
