I know police, and they would at the drop of a hat. Of course, San Jose police work in a city with a lot less drug use than, say, NYC, so they may be able to use their time to prevent little crimes since there are so little big crimes.

That being the case, it'd probably be good to know where Lube lives.

San Jose is the 10th largest city in the US. We're more than twice the population of New Orleans. But don't worry, I have enough respect for you not to suggest you're talking out of your ass. That'd be really rude and a big red herring.

And you know he's not dealing how? And you know he's not violent how? Seems to me that you're making an awful lot of assumptions here. Maybe you should leave the investigating to the police.

Ad hominem and red herring.

The only time that the police will do anything is if the individual is a DIRECT and IMMEDIATE threat to someone or themselves.
Which, again, is something you really don't know. If there's a chance that he's a danger, though, do you really think it's your right to possibly put other people in danger because you're not sure?
