Legit Process

Not to mention you never know who's on the other end of that check.

amen to that as well, that's the other reason. sadly when someone wants a check they seldom take those reasons into consideration.

How could this hurt you or anyone though?

If someone asks me "hey, does that guy over there sell EDITED?" and I say "that's what I've heard"

well if it's a cop asking I certainly have not broken any laws. and if we are talking about feds online, if they ask they already know so your not revealing anything they do not know.

can they use the statement from your online persona as evidence to get a warrant on the source? I'm not familiar with how the drug laws interface with the internet, if this is so then I can understand for sure. But if not why in the hell would a fed ask anyway?

In real live life cops can not use such information to go and get a warrant to search a house. They must get the snitch to do a controlled buy before they get the warrant. Simply snitching on a source is not enought for the cops to do anything legally.

I just can't imagine a fed asking if so and so is a legit source without having accurate information already.

What am I missing? The rules about recreational drug references for one thing...

"Sure that source is good to go" says the vet to the 16 year old looking to buy steroids.

Thanks for the clarification. I guess that would go under my desire to 'protect a source from dbag customers'

although I have nothing against 16yo's, I used to be one about 25 years ago lol

When you are in the position to do checks, do as you wish. As far as I'm concerned there is simply no reason for me to take that chance anyway. It has been stated time and time again that this is not a source board, we have the most comprehensive collection of topic related info you are likely to find in one place, and some of the brightest minds in the field here. If someone is here just to find a source or a check, they should go elsewhere.

That's why I'm here. I just like to know other people's perspectives on the risks of doing so, hence my question. I'm not advocating any source checks.
