The end result was the drug dealers were pushed to the really poor areas outside of the town limits where people didn't complain as much. And when a few of the poor, uneducated, inhabitants of that area did complain it didn't get the same response as an outraged judge or council member.
Really, most people are satisfied if the crime is driven to the poor areas and kept out of the nice areas.And yeah, the crime rate in the "target" areas goes down. Victory!
