Can anyone explain the shorthand for the charges?
As an example - what does '59m/b 1 Poss 7th A/M' mean?
Thanks
59m/b
means 59 years old, Male/black 1 poss means one possesion charge 7th probably means the precinct and a/m is an "A" misdemeanor, B/F would be a "B" Felony

It was a shocker to me to see Garden City with so many arrests. I guess it's true about what they say. That town tends to cover up their crime to keep property values up. Disturbing to say the least.
I think it's a clique high school thing. Heroin is pretty big in Smithtown too, and it's not like there's any significant demographic difference between Smithtown and Sayville, for instance. I think one small group of kids gets into it, and then you have a dozen or so addicts, where in Sayville let's say you have..one. It becomes a snowball effect. All that it takes is 6 or so people taking regularly for you to have a few od's per year....od's are just par for the course.
the sad thing is it is a huge snowball effect especially when it is in the hands of well liked kids. It makes it easier for the next to pick up. If it was 6 kids we could control it but its six kids who each know 6 more, now thats 36. I know approx. 35-40 people-those I know personally- from my age group. Many other people i know extendedly from different areas around long island. How do you control it when it gets that big!?! I read on a post about a kid arrested recently he was 20 and selling, I didnt know him personally. But I know his 32 year old older brother who was selling heroin 10 years ago! This epidemic started then and has grown. Whole families have been affected, and good families too.
