How did he know it wasn't insulin or something else? Granted it doesn't exactly seem like a shady arrest or anything.

Don't you need to a vein for heroin while insulin is just a shot in the flesh? You can't put an insulin shot in a vein so it is quite easy to spot the difference.

Don't you need to a vain for heroin while insuline is just a shot in the flesh? You can't put an insuline shot in a vain so it is quite easy to spot the difference.

That's a good point. I only know that it requires an injection. I figured it would need a vein too. Like I said I doubt anything shady was going on with the arrest.

You don't need a vein for heroin, no.

Giving yourself an injection of ANYthing while driving strikes me as an awful idea.

A friend of my uncles would inject it into his temple.

People shoot it in all kinds of weird places for a variety of reasons, usually to modify the euphoric intensity, potency of the drug or to hide needlemarks.

Nope, can do a skin pop.

I know someone who did it in their forehead. Was pretty funny cause there was a massive lump there.

Doesn't matter, he could pull them over on the guise of distracted driving.

Yeah, though like I said in an emergency I could someone having to do that.

Yeah, the places people find to inject is really fucking creepy.

That's why I figured was the cause, but it's not mentioned.

Didn't know that about heroin. Anyway, if you search for a vein, you're not shooting insulin. That is clear. So it would be easy for the officer to see. Good catch of the cop! It is nice that good police work gets mentionned here too.
