Florida Prosecutor Seeks to Clear 2,600 Convictions from 1980s Broward County Crack Sting
Dec 7, 2024, 08:02 PM
A Florida prosecutor is seeking to clear the records of as many as 2,600 individuals who were charged with buying crack cocaine manufactured by the Broward County Sheriff's Office during sting operations in the late 1980s. The operations, which took place between 1988 and 1990, involved undercover deputies selling the drug to unsuspecting buyers. The prosecutor's initiative aims to vacate these convictions, highlighting the ethical concerns surrounding the use of police-made drugs in sting operations.
