Allows sales pharmacies path from your computer to determine whether the buyer on the spot who already bought the legal limit of pseudoephedrine - a move that was supposed to make it more difficult to get the first components of methodologies.
But an analysis of the data of the Federal agency Associated Press indicates that this practice has not only failed in business methodology, which is growing again after a short decline in the fighting. It also has great food and pills on the market is very profitable and a prescription to buy and sell producers methodologies to characterize large.
Within a few years, attracting lure of easy money like thousands of young people in the world of methamphetamine.
"It's almost like a criminal sub-culture," said Gary Boggs, the detective with the Drug Enforcement Administration. "You will see the GPS module in a car with a list of each one pharmacy or retail outlet they will go every week to save the store and buy everything to achieve .."
Boggs said in their cars, called "agents of the bitter" punch of the bladder in a bucket, and even clip coupons.
In some cases there is no pill buyers and those interested in the methodology. Authorities said they may have been recruited from the streets of homeless children in college or even looking for a beer before the weekend.
But because of the growing demand created in large part of the tracking systems can give them a box of cereal to buy $ 7 $ 8 and sell for $ 40 or $ 50.
Marking systems "invite more people in criminal activities due to the black market price of the product so much more rewarding," said Jason Grellner, an agent in Franklin County affected, Missouri, about 40 miles west of St. Louis.
"Where can you get 750 percent profit in 45 minutes?" Request Grellner, former President of the Assembly and the state of Missouri by narcotics officers.
Laws have been adopted since the maximum in early 2006, a number of busts methodologies in all parts of the country in growth again. Some experts say that the black market for grain cold contributed to the rise. Other factors are at play, too, and methodologies of trafficking by Mexican drug cartels and new methods for making small amounts of methodologies.
AFP review of the Drug Enforcement Administration data includes nearly a decade, 2000-2009, and conducted interviews with a wide range of police and government officials.
Methodologies related activities on the rise again at the national level, an increase of 34 percent in 2009, compared to last year's figures. This includes the number of arrests, seizures of drugs and the discovery of the abandoned sites of production methodologies.
The increase was higher in the three countries that sales of pseudoephedrine medicines online since at least tracked from 2008. Accidents combined methodologies grew 67 percent in the country - 34 percent in Arkansas, 65 percent in Kentucky and 164 percent in the state of Oklahoma.
Supporters say the numbers have increased since the roof system makes it easier for police officers to participate in the production methodology can be found. But others question whether he had helped on the way to exacerbate the problem by creating a new class of criminals that the police must follow.
In the past, the process of "cooking" methodologies often a process of one person, with many farmers to buy cold pills than they need.
Now, with strict laws governing the operations of purchase and register the names of buyers', manufacturers methodologies to recruit friends and acquaintances, strangers and even their children's end to sell pills.
This process, known as "smurfing," is not entirely new, but came into wide practice in the past 2-3 years in the U.S. to try to ensure the availability of pseudoephedrine reduction.
Grellner remember a case when a woman is 17 years old) was smurfing her daughter. Forced the girl's mother when police arrested them, to hide the grain in her vagina. It's almost bled to death in the county jail.
Efforts to ensure the availability of pseudoephedrine to reduce the takeoff in 2005, when Congress passed the Act of methodologies, which place restrictions on the sale of congestion and the two other major components used in the methodologies.
The law requires that the drug is placed behind the counter and show ID and shoppers, for the first time, and requires pharmacies to sell any record.
And advanced technology, and direction of the state a step further in the report. With tracking, e-com names get buyers in the databases. Some countries link their databases together.
Hat means that if customers bought a monthly limit of pseudoephedrine, and pharmacist know immediately and refused to sell. In some places, and informed the police.
Originally, this practice has produced quick results. Decreased incidents of methodologies that nearly two-thirds - 18581 in 2004 to 6233 in 2007.
Has ushered in Oklahoma, and electronic tracking system, which was adopted in 2006, and the story of the success of the methodologies of accidents has dropped in of 699 from 2004 to 1993 in 2007.
But producers collection methodologies, primarily through the installation or retail more than that. Started in the methodology and related incidents climbing again. By 2009, the agency quoted methodology 10 064 incidents, an increase of 62 percent over the past two years.
I do not expect the federal police agents to track electronic attract more people already in the criminal enterprise on methodologies.
"I was surprised law enforcement," St. Louis County Sgt. Said Tom Murley. "People who normally do not cross the line, ready to do so because they think it is such a sweet deal, and because of the economy."
Supporters of the cover to say that the increase in incidents of methodologies to show success, not failure.
"One of the reasons these figures have gone because of the ability of law enforcement to track and locate production methodologies people," said Keith Cain, Daviess County Sheriff, KY. "If we pull the plug on electronic tracking, we have lost the ability to see where the labs, I'm afraid that 10 years will fall .."
Ron Fitzwater, chief executive of the Pharmaceutical Society of Missouri, agrees.
"This is not a perfect system, but we believe that there will be a significant impact law enforcement will help him," said Fitzwater.
Laboratory methodologies busts and arrests are not the only indicator that drug abuse is increasing. In September, has increased the annual report of the Government of the Federal Drug and Mental Health Services Administration by 60 percent annually in the number of Meth users.
Meanwhile, statistics show that the DEA an increasing amount of methodologies coming from Mexico. The authorities fear the growing popularity of methodologies for "shake and bake", which are made in small quantities by simply mixing the ingredients in a two-liter soda bottles.
Said Mark Woodward, spokesman for the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drug Control, and the way to get rid of bread and keep track of travel laws. Methodologies manufacturers' Come in and buy a box of cold cereal and soda, so they are really raising a red flag, "he said.
More than a dozen other countries adopt their own laws or to consider tracking to be done. One benefit in terms of cost, which amounts to almost nothing of the Governments of the cash-strapped.
The pharmaceutical industry has spent several million dollars to fund tracking systems. Manufacturers of drugs, it is much cheaper than the alternative - to provide remedies only by prescription.
Started in Oregon and a prescription for pseudoephedrine products in 2006. Mississippi in the second state to do so in July, the governor of Missouri and he wants lawmakers to do the same in 2011.
If more countries follow suit, and could be devastating for the makers of cold cereal and sinuses. The estimated market value of pseudoephedrine in more than $ 550,000,000 years
But many law enforcement officials say it's hard to argue with the success of Oregon. If the State has methodologies 191 incidents in 2005, the year the recipe right. By the year 2009, has 12.
Missouri led the nation in incidents of methodologies in 2009 for the seventh consecutive year. The state is in the early stages of the path of electronic, but the problem is as bad methodology more than a dozen communities have passed laws prescription.
Boggs, the Drug Enforcement Administration agent has not taken a position on the laws and prescription, but said the pill and control agents, namely the effort to enforce the law made by the other "
