In this episode I interviewed Neil Woods, a former British undercover police officer who spent 14 years infiltrating violent drug gangs across the UK. Throughout the years he has collected stories of gang violence, criminal exploitation, police corruption and illegal drug trading. His career led him to see drug prohibition as a systemically dysfunctional way to deal with the drug problem. He now works for LEAD UK, an organization of law enforcement officials campaigning to end drug prohibition.
What are some of Neil’s most dangerous undercover operations? Why is the drug war a losing battle? Why is corruption so prevalent in drug policing? Is prohibition connected to the immense gang violence we are seeing in Sweden? Why does Neil think legalization is a better path than decriminalization?
