Not the sharpest tool in the shed

For full transparency, I don't have anyone near or dear to my knowledge who uses drugs. However, I am terrified that the world's most perfect 16-year-old will end up in the wrong company. I take nothing for granted. There are many years to go before he is out of the danger zone.

In a medium-sized city in northern Sweden, Sundsvall, the police have succeeded in cracking down on a criminal gang that, among other things, sells drugs. The police found a mobile phone belonging to one of the gang members, where they discovered about 100 names of private individuals who used the app Swish, which is Sweden's equivalent of America's Venmo to pay for drugs.

If it is laziness, a lack of consequential thinking or that the risk of it being discovered is so incredibly minimal that makes one use an app to buy drugs. Of course, there are many people with such a strong need for drugs that they completely ignore the consequences, but I think that particular group of buyers does not use apps to any great extent.

Considering the extensive criminality with daily shootings and explosions in Sweden, I am grateful that there are those who facilitate the police's work by using apps.
